Location of washer fluid reservoir

.

The windscreen and headlamp washers
share a common reservoir.

– Filler cap on 4-cylinder engines and diesel.

– Filler cap on 5-cylinder engines.

Add washer antifreeze during the winter so
that the fluid does not freeze in the pump,
reservoir and hoses. See the capacities on
page 234.

Checking and topping up the coolant

When topping up the coolant, follow the in-
structions on the packaging. It is important
that the mixture of coolant concentrate and
water is correct for the prevailing weather
conditions. Never top up with water only. The
risk of freezing increases with both too little
and too much coolant concentrate.

See capacities on page 234.

Dependent on engine variant.

NOTE

Mix the washer antifreeze and water before
filling the reservoir.

IMPORTANT

Always use coolant with anti-corrosion
agent as recommended by Volvo. New cars
are filled with coolant that can withstand
temperatures down to approximately
–35 °C.
