Coolant
The coolant ensures that surplus heat is dis-
tributed in the circuit, e.g. in order to heat the
starter battery or provide heat for the passen-
ger compartment.
Only coolant approved by Volvo should be
used in order to prevent impairment of the
cooling system, engine problems, etc.
Prescribed grade: Ready-mixed coolant
approved by Volvo. If concentrated coolant is
used, mix with 50% water (of approved water
quality, not salt water, etc.). Consult a Volvo
dealer if unsure.
Only coolant approved by Volvo should be
used in order to prevent impairment of the
cooling system, engine problems, etc.
WARNING
Swallowing coolant is hazardous, it may
cause damage to organs (kidneys). The
product contains ethylene glycol, inhibitor,
water, etc.

Topping up coolant (p. 624)
Topping up coolant
When topping up the coolant, follow the
instructions on the packaging. Never top up
with water only. The risk of freezing increases
with both too little and too much coolant con-
centrate.
If there is coolant under the car, if there is
coolant smoke, or if more than 2 litres (approx.
2 quarts) have been filled, always call for
recovery to avoid the risk of engine damage
due to a defective cooling system when
attempting to start the car.
WARNING
The coolant may be very hot. Never open
the cap when the coolant is hot. If a top-up
is required, unscrew the expansion tank
cap slowly to allow any overpressure to
disappear.
