MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 399
DAILY MAINTENANCE
DANGER
Before working on or inspecting a
vehicle, set the parking brakes, place the
transmission in neutral and block the
wheels. Failure to do so can result in
unexpected vehicle movement and can
cause serious personal injury or death.
CAUTION
Engines equipped with automatic start
systems can start automatically. An alarm
sounds before automatic start. Failure to
turn off ignition before working on fan or
belts can result in personal injury.
Note: Make sure that all fluid levels are at their proper levels. If the fluids are not at their
proper levels, add as necessary. Refer to the Operator’s Manual Vehicle Maintenance for
information on what types of fluids are recommended for your Volvo vehicle.
WARNING
Keep yourself clear of all moving or hot
engine parts. A hot engine can cause
serious burns.
While checking the fluid levels, visually inspect hoses, pipes and their connections for
signs of leakage. Inspect the ground under the engine, transmission and rear axle(s) for
signs of leakage.
