Wiper blades and washer fluid

Together with the washer fluid, the wipers aim to improve visibility as well as headlamp pattern.

  • The wiper blades are heated automatically in cold weather to improve winter properties and to prevent the washer fluid from freezing.
  • Information indicating that the washer fluid needs topping up appears in the driver display when there is approx. 1 litre (1 qt) of washer fluid remaining.

Setting the wiper blades in service position

In some situations, the windscreen’s wiper blades must be set in service position (vertical position), e.g. when they shall be replaced.

  • Wiper blades in service position.

In order to change, clean or lift the wiper blades (e.g. for scraping off ice from the windscreen) they must be in service position.

Important
Before placing the wiper blades in the service position, make sure that they are not frozen down.
Activating/deactivating service mode

Service mode can be activated/deactivated when the car is stationary and the windscreen wipers are not on. Service mode is activated/deactivated via the function view in the centre display:

Press the Wiper Service Position button. The light indicator in the button illuminates when service mode is activated. When activated, the wipers move to the service position. To deactivate the service mode, press Wiper Service Position again. The light indicator in the button extinguishes when service mode is deactivated.

The wiper blades also exit the service position if:

  • Windscreen wiping is activated.
  • Windscreen washing is activated.
  • The rain sensor is activated.
  • The car is driven away.
Important
If the wiper arms in service position have been folded up from the windscreen, they must be folded back down onto the windscreen before the activation of wiping, washing or the rain sensor, as well as before driving. This is to avoid scraping the paint on the bonnet.

Topping up washer fluid

Washer fluid is used for cleaning the headlamps and windscreen. Washer fluid with antifreeze must be used when the temperature is under the freezing point.

Washer fluid is filled into the reservoir with the blue cap. The reservoir is used for both windscreen washers and headlamp washers.

Note

  • When approx. 1 litre (1 qt) of washer fluid remains in the reservoir, the message Washer fluid Level low, the refill is shown in the driver display, together with the 2022-Volvo-S60-Wiper blades-and-washer-fluid-FIG- (4) symbol.

Prescribed grade: Washer fluid recommended by Volvo – with frost protection during cold weather and for temperatures 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 the fluid freezing inside the pump, reservoir, and hoses.

Volume:

  • Cars with headlamp washing: 5.5 litres (5.8 qts).
  • Cars without headlamp washing: 3.5 litres (3.7 qts).

Replacing windscreen wiper blades

The wiper blades sweep the water away from the windscreen. Together with washer fluid, they aim to clean the windscreen and ensure visibility while driving. The wiper blades can be replaced.

Fold up the wiper arm when it is in the service position. Service position is activated/deactivated via the function view in the centre display when the car is stationary and the windscreen wipers are not on.

  1. Set the wiper blade in removal position by angling it out from the arm until a click sound can be heard
  2. Press and hold the lock button located on the wiper blade mounting.
  3. At the same time, pull the blade straight out parallel with the wiper arm.

Slide in the new wiper blade until the lock button engages.
Angle the blade in towards the arm until a click sound is heard. The blade is then no longer in the removal position and can be moved again.
Check that the wiper blade is firmly installed.
Fold the wiper arm back towards the windscreen.

The wiper blades are different lengths
