Brake and clutch systems

The brake and clutch systems share the same fluid reservoir. The fluid

level should be between the MIN and MAX marks.

Fluid type: DOT 4+ boiling point >536°F (280°C), P/N 9437433
Replace: Every second year or 30,000 miles (48,000 km). The fluid

should be replaced once a year or every 15,000 miles

(24,000 km) when driving under extremely hard conditions

(mountain driving, etc.)

Check, without removing the cap, that the level is above the “MIN”

mark of the fluid reservoir.
Always entrust brake/clutch fluid changing to an authorized Volvo

retailer.

Power steering fluid

The dipstick has marks for checking hot and cold oil. The oil level

when the engine is cold must never be higher than the COLD mark.

After the engine has reached normal operating temperature, the level

may not be higher than the HOT mark. Top up when the level is at the

ADD mark. Check the level at every service.

Fluid type: Volvo synthetic power steering fluid (Pentosin CHF 11S)

P/N 8713081 or equivalent.

Replace: No fluid change required

NOTE: If a problem should occur in the power steering system or if the
car has no electrical current and must be towed, it is still possible to
steer the car. However, keep in mind that greater effort will be required
to turn the steering wheel.
