Maintenance and service
Before starting work on the car
The battery
• Check that the battery cables are
correctly connected and tightened.
• Never disconnect the battery when the
engine is running (e.g. when replacing
the battery).
• Never use a fast charger to charge the
battery. The battery cables should be
disconnected while charging.
• The battery contains acid that is both
corrosive and poisonous. It is important
that the battery is handled in an
environmentally friendly way. Let your
Volvo dealer assist you.
WARNING!
• The ignition system has very high
voltage. The voltage in the ignition
system is dangerous. The ignition
must therefore always be switched
off when working in the engine
compartment.
• Do not touch the spark plugs or
ignition coils when the ignition is on
or the engine is hot.
