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: ATF

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+
Replace: Every second year or 30,000 miles (48,000 km). The fluid should be replaced once a year or
every 15,000 miles (25,000 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.
