CAUTION Volvo does not recommend the use of long-life or durable paint protection coatings, some of which may claim to prevent pitting, fading, oxidation, etc. These coatings have not been tested by Volvo for compatibility with your vehicle's clear coat. Some of them may cause the clear coat to soften, crack, or cloud. Damage caused by application of paint protection coatings may not be covered under your vehicle's paint warranty. Side windows with the water repellent coating (option) Do not apply wax, degreasing agents, etc. to this glass. This could damage the coating. Clean the glass surface with care to avoid scratching. Use only suitable plastic scrapers to remove ice or snow from the windows. NOTE The water repellent coating is subject to natural wear. In order to maintain the coating's water repellent characteristics, it should be treated with a special compound that is available at your Volvo retailer. This treatment should be carried out for the first time after three years, and thereafter once a year. Cleaning the interior Only use cleaning agents and car care products recommended by Volvo. Clean regularly and follow the instructions included with the car care product. Upholstery care Fabric Clean with soapy water or a detergent. For more difficult spots caused by oil, ice cream, shoe polish, grease, etc., use a clothing/fabric stain remover. Consult your Volvo retailer. Alcantera™ suede-like material Suede-like upholstery can be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild soap solution. Leather care Volvo's leather upholstery is manufactured with a protectant to repel soiling. Over time, sunlight, grease and dirt can break down the protection. Staining, cracking, scuffing, and fading can result. Volvo offers an easy-to-use, non-greasy leather care kit formulated to clean and beautify your vehicle's leather, and to renew the protective qualities of its finish. The cleaner removes dirt and oil buildup. The light cream protectant restores a barrier against soil and sunlight. 239 06 Maintenance and specifications Vehicle care Volvo also offers a special leather softener that should be applied after the cleaner and protectant. It leaves leather soft and smooth, and reduces friction between leather and other finishes in the vehicle. Volvo recommends cleaning, protecting and conditioning your vehicle's leather two to four times a year. Ask your Volvo retailer about Leather Care Kit 951 0251 and Leather Softener 943 7429.
