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

Brake fluid – specifications

Brake fluid is the medium in a hydraulic brake system that is used to transfer pressure from e.g. a brake pedal via a master brake cylinder, which in turn acts on the brake callipers.

Prescribed grade
 Volvo Original or equivalent fluid compliant with a combination of Dot 45.1 and ISO 4925 class 6.

Note
It is recommended that brake fluid is changed or filled by an authorised Volvo workshop.

Opening and closing the bonnet

The bonnet can be opened using the handle in the passenger compartment and a handle under the front edge of the bonnet. It is important to follow the instructions for closing and to check that the bonnet is fully closed if it has been open.

  • If the car warns or indicates that the bonnet is open, or if something else suggests that it is not fully closed – stop immediately and close it firmly.

Engine compartment overview

  • The engine compartment contains several service-related parts.
  • Some of the components included in the car’s electric drive system are located under the bonnet. Exercise caution in this area and only touch anything that is related to normal maintenance.

Warning

  • Orange-coloured cables must only be handled by qualified personnel.

Several components in the car work with high-voltage current that could be dangerous in the event of incorrect intervention.

  • Do not touch anything that is not clearly described in the owner’s manual.
  • Exercise caution when checking/refilling fluids in the engine compartment.

Note
It is not intended that the decals illustrated in the owner’s manual should be exact replicas of those in the car. They are included to show their approximate appearance and locations in the car. The information that applies to your particular car can be found on the decal on the car.

Warning
Remember that the radiator fan (located at the front of the engine compartment, behind the radiator) may start or continue to operate automatically for up to approx. 6 minutes after the engine has been switched off.Always have the engine cleaned by a workshop – an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended. There is a risk of fire if the engine is hot.

Warning

  • The ignition system works at a very high and hazardous voltage. The car’s electrical system must always be in ignition position 0 when work is being performed in the engine compartment.
  • Do not touch the spark plugs or ignition coil when the car’s electrical system is in ignition position II or when the engine is hot.

Coolant

The coolant cools the internal combustion engine to the correct operating temperature. The surplus heat can be used to heat the passenger compartment.

Prescribed grade

  • Ready-mixed coolant approved by Volvo.
  • If the concentrated coolant is used, mix it with 50% pure water. Level of cleanliness must meet Volvo’s requirements. Consult a Volvo dealer if unsure.
  • In order to prevent deterioration of cooling system function, which may lead to engine malfunction among other things, it is recommended that only coolant approved by Volvo should be used.
Warning
Coolant must not be swallowed. It can cause damage to the kidneys and other organs. The product contains, among other things, ethylene glycol, inhibitor and water.

Topping up coolant

Follow the instructions on the coolant’s packaging for topping up. Never top up with water only. The risk of freezing increases with both too little and too much coolant concentrate.If there are signs of leakage from the cooling system – avoid starting the car and have it towed in order not to risk engine damage. Signs of leakage may be coolant under the car, that coolant visibly evaporates, or that more than 2 litres (approx. 2 quarts) is needed for topping up.

Warning

  • The coolant can be very hot when the engine has been running. Always allow the coolant to cool down before unscrewing the filler cap.
  • When filling – carefully unscrew the cap to release any overpressure.

  • Grip the hatch’s handle and lift/jiggle the hatch from the plastic cover.
  • Screw off the cap and top up with coolant if necessary. The coolant level must not exceed the yellow MAX mark inside the expansion tank.

Reinstall the parts in reverse order.

Important

  • Coolant is harmful to ingest and may cause organ damage.
  • Only use coolant of Volvo-approved quality. If concentrated liquid is used, make sure that the ratio is 50 % coolant to 50 % water of approved quality.
  • Hard water, and water with a high content of chlorine, chlorides and other salts or contaminants may cause corrosion to the cooling system.
  • Do not mix different coolants.
  • New coolant must be used to replace all coolant when replacing a large component in the cooling system.
  • Only operate the engine when the cooling system is filled to the correct level. When the coolant level is too low, it may lead to overheating, resulting in engine damage.

Engine oil

Only use engine oil of the prescribed quality. This is a requirement in order for the recommended service intervals and warranty to be applicable.

Volvo recommends:

2023-Volvo-S90-S90-Recharge-Plug-In-Hybrid-Engine-compartment-fig-15

If the engine oil cannot be checked on a regular basis and the level falls too low, there is a risk that this will cause serious damage to the engine.

Note
It is not intended that the decals illustrated in the owner’s manual should be exact replicas of those in the car. They are included to show their approximate appearance and locations in the car. The information that applies to your particular car can be found on the decal on the car.
Important
In order to fulfil the requirements for the engine’s service intervals all engines are filled with a specially adapted synthetic engine oil at the factory. The choice of oil has been made very carefully with regard to service life, starting characteristics, fuel consumption and environmental impact.An approved engine oil must be used in order that the recommended service intervals can be applied. Only use a prescribed grade of oil for both filling and oil change, otherwise there is a risk of the service life, starting characteristics, fuel consumption and environmental impact of the car being affected.If engine oil of the prescribed grade and viscosity is not used, engine related components may become damaged. Volvo disclaims any liability for any such damage.Volvo recommends that oil changes are carried out at an authorised Volvo workshop.

Symbols for low oil level

  • Volvo uses different systems to warn about the oil level or low oil pressure. Low oil pressure is indicated by a warning symbol 2023-Volvo-S90-S90-Recharge-Plug-In-Hybrid-Engine-compartment-fig-16 in the driver display. Warning or information about the car’s oil level can be indicated by a warning symbol 2023-Volvo-S90-S90-Recharge-Plug-In-Hybrid-Engine-compartment-fig-17 in the driver display as well as message texts. Contact a Volvo dealer for more information.
  • Change the engine oil and oil filter in accordance with the intervals specified in the Service and Warranty Booklet.

Checking and filling with engine oil

The oil level is detected with the electronic oil level sensor.
See oil level in the centre display
The oil level can be shown in the centre display when the car is started. It should be checked regularly.
  • Press 2023-Volvo-S90-S90-Recharge-Plug-In-Hybrid-Engine-compartment-fig-18 in the centre display.
  • Select Car status.
  • Different types of information about the car can be shown, including oil level.
Note
The system cannot directly detect changes when the oil is filled or drained out. The car must have been driven approx. 30 km (approx. 20 miles) and have been stationary for 5 minutes with the engine switched off and on level ground before the oil level indication is correct.If the right conditions for measuring the oil level (time after engine shutdown, the car’s inclination, outside temperature, etc.) are not met, then the message No value available will be shown in the centre display. This does not mean that there is something wrong in the car’s systems.
Important

2023-Volvo-S90-S90-Recharge-Plug-In-Hybrid-Engine-compartment-fig-19

If this symbol is shown then the oil pressure may be too low. Stop the car as quickly as possible and have the car recovered to a workshop – an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.

Fill the engine oil

2023-Volvo-S90-S90-Recharge-Plug-In-Hybrid-Engine-compartment-fig-20Filler pipe,.

In some cases, oil may need to be topped up between service intervals. No action with regard to engine oil level needs to be taken until a message is shown in the driver display.

Warning

  • If the message Engine oil level Service required is shown, then the oil level may be too high. Visit a workshop – an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.
  • Take care not to spill any oil in the engine compartment. This may lead to fire if the oil comes into contact with hot parts.
Important
If a message prompts you to top up the engine oil, only fill with the specified amount. If the level is too high, it may result in operational disruption.

Among other things, the engine compartment fuses protect functions related to the engine and the brake system.
2023-Volvo-S90-S90-Recharge-Plug-In-Hybrid-Engine-compartment-fig-21
  • Special pliers are housed on the inside of the cover to facilitate replacement of tripped fuses.
  • The fuse box also provides space for several spare fuses.
Positions
Fuse locations are shown on the inside of the cover. Functions and components in the fuse table cover several models and engine alternatives. A fuse description can therefore apply to fewer than those in the table, or be completely missing, depending on how the car is equipped.If a position has multiple table values, it is due to variations in equipment level. In which case, follow the value of the fuse being replaced. In the event of doubt – contact a workshop. An authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.
