Engine compartment overview
This overview shows some service-related components.
Note
The decals shown in the Owner's Manual do not claim to be exact reproductions of those found in the vehicle. The purpose is to show approximately how they look and about where they are located on the vehicle. The information that applies for your vehicle in particular is found on the decal on the vehicle.
Warning
Surfaces near the radiator in the front section of the engine compartment can get very hot while driving. Make sure that they have cooled sufficiently before touching them, especially metal parts.
Warning
Bear in mind that the cooling fan (located at the front of the engine compartment behind the radiator) may start or continue running automatically up to about 6 minutes after the engine is turned off.
Always entrust engine washing to a workshop – an authorized Volvo workshop is recommended. If the engine is hot, there is a risk of fire.
Warning
The ignition system works with extremely high and dangerous voltages. The vehicle electrical system should always be in ignition mode 0 when work in being performed in the engine compartment.
Do not touch any spark plugs or ignition coils when the vehicle electrical system is in ignition mode II or when the engine is warm.
