Washer fluid - filling
Washer fluid is used for cleaning the head-
lamps and windows. Washer fluid with anti-
freeze must be used during winter.
The windscreen and headlamp washers share
a common reservoir.
IMPORTANT
Use Volvo genuine washer fluid or equiva-
lent with a recommended pH of between 6
and 8, in working dilution (e.g. 1:1 with
neutral water).
IMPORTANT
Use washer fluid with antifreeze during the
winter to avoid freezing in the pump, reser-
voir and hoses.
For capacities, see Washer fluid - quality and
volume (p. 403).
