2022 Volvo S60 Fuel
Handling of fuel
Do not use fuel with a lower quality than that recommended by Volvo, as this will negatively affect engine power and fuel consumption.
Warning
Always avoid inhaling fuel vapour and getting fuel splashes in the eyes.
In the event of fuel in the eyes, remove any contact lenses and rinse the eyes in plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention.
Never swallow fuel. Fuels such as petrol, bioethanol and mixtures of them and diesel are highly toxic and could cause permanent injury or be fatal if swallowed. Seek medical attention immediately if fuel has been swallowed.

Warning
Fuel which spills onto the ground can be ignited.
Switch off the fuel-driven heater before starting to refuel.
Never carry an activated mobile phone when refuelling. The ring signal could cause spark build-up and ignite petrol fumes, leading to fire and injury.
Important
Mixtures of various fuel types or use of fuels which are not recommended will invalidate Volvo’s guarantees and any supplementary service agreements; this is applicable to all engines.

Petrol
It is important to use the correct fuel during refuelling. Petrol is available with different octane ratings that are adapted for different types of driving.
Only use petrol from well-known producers. Never use fuel of dubious quality. The petrol must fulfil the EN 228 standard.

Important
- Fuel that contains up to 10 per cent by volume of ethanol is permitted.
- EN 228 E10 petrol (max 10 per cent by volume ethanol) is approved for use.
- Ethanol higher than E10 (max. 10 per cent by volume ethanol) is not permitted, e.g. E85 is not permitted.
Octane rating
- RON 95 can be used for normal driving.
- RON 98 is recommended for good power and low fuel consumption.
- An octane rating lower than RON 95 must not be used.
When driving in temperatures above +38 °C (100 °F), fuel with the highest octane rating is recommended for adapted performance and fuel economy.
Important
- Use only unleaded petrol to avoid damaging the catalytic converter.
- Fuel containing metallic additives must not be used.
- Do not use any additives which have not been recommended by Volvo.
