Starting and driving
Refuelling
The fuel cap is inside the fuel filler flap on the
right-hand rear wing and hangs up on the
inside of the fuel filler flap.
Opening the fuel filler flap
The fuel filler flap can be opened when the
car is unlocked.
NOTE!
The filler flap remains unlocked for ten
minutes after the car has been locked.
Fuel filler flap
High outside temperatures can cause some
overpressure in the tank. Open the cap
slowly.
After refuelling, replace the fuel cap and turn
until one or more clicks is heard.
Refuelling with petrol
Do not overfill the tank but fill until the pump
nozzle cuts out.
NOTE!
Excess fuel in the tank can overflow in
hot weather.
NOTE!
Do not add cleaning additives unless
specifically recommended by a Volvo
workshop.
Refuelling with diesel
At low temperatures, ( –5°C to –40°C), a
paraffin precipitate may form in the diesel
fuel, which can lead to ignition problems.
Make sure you use a special winter grade fuel
during cold periods.
WARNING!
Never carry an activated mobile phone
when refuelling – the ring signal could
cause spark build-up and ignite petrol
fumes, leading to fire and injury.
IMPORTANT!
Petrol-powered cars must always be
refuelled with unleaded petrol so as not
to damage the catalytic converter.
