STARTING AND DRIVING
* Option/accessory.

Driving through standing water
Driving the vehicle through a deep pool of stand-
ing water on a water-covered roadway is called
fording. This must be done with great caution.
The vehicle can be driven through water up to a
depth of 45 cm (17 in) at no more than walking
speed. Be particularly careful when driving
through flowing water.
When driving through standing water, drive slowly
and do not stop the vehicle. When you have
passed the water, press lightly on the brake pedal
and check that the brakes are functioning prop-
erly. Water, mud, slush, etc. can make the brake
linings slippery, resulting in delayed braking
effect.
•
If the vehicle is equipped with contacts for an
electric heater or trailer coupling, clean these
after driving in water or mud.
•
Do not allow the vehicle to stand in water up
to the sills any longer than absolutely neces-
sary. This could result in electrical malfunc-
tions.
CAUTION
•
Engine damage could occur if water
enters the air cleaner.
•
If water enters the transmission, the lubri-
cating ability of the oils is reduced and
the service life of these systems is short-
ened.
•
Damage to any component, engine,
transmission, turbocharger, differential or
its internal components caused by flood-
ing, vapor lock or insufficient oil is not
covered under warranty.
•
If the engine stalls while the vehicle is in
water, do not attempt to restart it. Have
the vehicle towed out of the water to a
workshop. An authorized Volvo workshop
is recommended. Risk of engine failure.
CAUTION
Because it can be difficult to determine the
water depth, avoid driving through standing or
running water.
