(Fatty Acid Methyl Ester) and
vegetable oil.
These fuels do not fulfil the requirements in
accordance with Volvo recommendations and
generate increased wear and engine damage
that is not covered by the Volvo warranty.
Empty tank
Once the engine has stopped due to fuel starva-
tion, the fuel system needs a few moments to
carry out a check. Do this before starting the
engine, once the fuel tank has been filled with
diesel:
1. Insert the remote control key in the ignition
switch and push it in to the end position. For
more information, see Key positions (p. 83).
2.
Press the START button without depressing
the brake and/or clutch pedal.
3. Wait approx. one minute.
4. To start the engine: Depress the brake
and/or clutch pedal and then press the
START button again.
NOTE
Before filling with fuel in the event of fuel
shortage:
•
Stop the car on as flat/level ground as
possible - if the car is tilting there is a risk
of air pockets in the fuel supply.
Draining condensation from the fuel
filter
17
The fuel filter separates condensation from the
fuel. Condensation can disrupt engine operation.
For optimum performance, it is important to fol-
low the service intervals for fuel filter change as
well as to use genuine parts developed specifi-
cally for this purpose.
The fuel filter must be drained at the intervals
specified in the Service and Warranty Booklet or
if you suspect that the car has been filled with
contaminated fuel. For more information, see
Volvo service programme (p. 366).
IMPORTANT
Certain special additives remove the water
separation in the fuel filter.
