Check coolant level
The cooling system must be filled with coolant
and not leak to operate at maximum efficiency.
Check the coolant level regularly. The level
should be between the “MAX” and “MIN”
marks on the expansion tank. The check
should be made with particular thoroughness
when the engine is new or when the cooling
system has been drained.
Do not remove the filler cap other than for
topping up with coolant. Frequent removal
may prevent coolant circulation between the
engine and the expansion tank during engine
warm up and cooling.
Capacity: 7.4 US qts. (7.0 liters)
Coolant: Volvo Genuine Coolant/Anti-
freeze only.
NOTE: Do not top up with water only. Water
by itself reduces the rust-protective and
antifreeze qualities of the coolant and has a
lower boiling point. It can also cause damage
to the cooling system if it should freeze.
WARNING!
If the engine is warm and you are going to
top up coolant, unscrew the tank cap slowly
in order to allow any excess pressure to
escape.
CAUTION: The cooling system must
always be kept filled to the correct level. If
it is not kept filled, there can be high local
temperatures in the engine which could
result in damage. Different types of
antifreeze/coolant may not be mixed.
