Maintenance service
Volvo advises you to follow the service program which is outlined in the "Maintenance Records
Manual". This maintenance program contains inspections and services necessary for the proper function
of your car. The maintenance services contain several checks which require special instruments and
tools and therefore must be performed by a qualified technician. To keep your Volvo in top condition,
specify time tested and proven Genuine Volvo Parts and Accessories.
The Federal Clean Air Act - U.S.
The Clean Air Act requires vehicle manufacturers to furnish written instructions to the ultimate
purchaser to assure the proper functioning of those components that control emissions. The maintenance
instructions listed in the "Servicing" section of this Manual represent the minimum maintenance
required. These services are not covered by the warranty. You will be required to pay for labor and
material used. Refer to your Warranty booklet for further details.
Maintenance services
Your Volvo has passed several major inspections before being delivered to you, according to Volvo
specifications. The maintenance services outlined in this book should be performed as indicated. The
extended maintenance service intervals make it even more advisable to follow this program. Inspection
and service should also be performed any time a malfunction is observed or suspected. It is
recommended that receipts for vehicle emission services be retained in the event that questions arise
concerning maintenance. See your "Maintenance Records Manual".
Applicable warranties - U.S.
In accordance with U.S. Federal Regulations, the following list of applicable U.S. warranties is
provided. For Canadian specification vehicles, see your separate warranty booklet.
