Maintenance service at 10,000 mile (16,000 km) intervals


Volvo advises you to follow the service program at 10,000 mile (16,000 km) intervals which is outlined in the "Maintenance Records Manual". This maintenance program contains inspections and services necessary for the proper function of your car over the next 10,000 miles (16,000 km).
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 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 every 10,000 miles (16,000 km). 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".
