   MAINTENANCE






Maintenance services

Maintenance inspection 7,500 mile
(12,500 km) intervals

THE FEDERAL CLEAN AIR ACT
(USA)
Your Volvo has passed two major inspections
before it was deliverd to you according to
Volvo specifications. When driving 600-1,200
miles (1,000-2,000 km), your car should be
brought to the Volvo dealer for a service in-
spection. Engine, manual transmission and
rear axle oils, will be changed at this time.
Following this inspection, maintenance is-
inspections as outlined in this book should be
performed every 7,500 miles (12,500 km).
The extended maintenance inspection inter-
vals make it even more advisable to follow this
program.
Inspection and service should also be perfor-
med any time a malfunction is observed or
suspected.
Retain receipts for all vehicle emission
services to protect your emission warranty.
See your "Warranties and maintenance Re-
cords Manual".		 Volvo advises you to follow the inspection
program at 7,500 mile (12,500 km) intervals
which is outlined in the "Warranties and Main-
tenance Records Manual". This maintenance
program contains inspections and services
necessary for the proper function of your car
over the next 7,500 miles (12,500 km).
The maintenance inspections 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 Clean Air Act requires vehicle manufactu-
rers to furnish written instructions to the
ultimate purchaser to assure the proper
functioning of those components that control
emissions.
The maintenance instrutions 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 "Warranties and
Maintenance Records Manual" for further
details.

1) Oil and oil filter cartridge are first changed at the 600-1,200 mile (1,000-2,000 km) inspection. Subsequent oil and filter changes
should be made at 7,500 mile (12,500 km intervals or at least every six moth. However, adverse conditions (like hot ambient
temperatures, trailer hauling, hill climbing, driving long distances at high speeds, extended periods of idling or low speed operation,
short trip operation at freezing temperatures rewuire oil changes more frequently (every third month).
2) Not California model.
3) For cars used for hard driving, or in hilly terrain etc, perform preventive service. This includes oil changes every 20,000 miles
(50,000 km)
