Coolant: Procedures
Checking Coolant Level
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 remove may prevent coolant circulation between the engine and the
expansion tank during engine warm up and cooling.
Changing Coolant
Changing Coolant:
Normally, the coolant does not need to be changed.
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. Top off with Volvo Genuine Coolant/Antifreeze only (a 50/50 mix of water and
antifreeze).
WARNING! Never remove the radiator cap while the engine is warm. Wait until the car cools.
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.
