Washer fluid - filling
Washer fluid is used for cleaning the headlamps and windows. Washer fluid with antifreeze must be used when the temperature is below freezing point.
Topping up the washer fluid takes place by opening the blue cap.
The windscreen and headlamp washers share a common reservoir.
Note
When there is approx. 1 litre of washer fluid remaining in the reservoir, a message to top up the washer fluid will be shown in the combined instrument panel, together with the symbol .
Prescribed grade: Washer fluid recommended by Volvo - with frost protection during cold weather and below freezing point.
Important
Use Volvo genuine washer fluid or equivalent with a recommended pH of between 6 and 8, in working dilution (e.g. 1:1 with neutral water).
Important
Use washer fluid with antifreeze when the temperature is below freezing to avoid freezing in the pump, reservoir and hoses.
