2022 XC60 Volvo Engine compartment
Topping up washer fluid
Note
- When approx. 1 litre (1 qt) of washer fluid remains in the reservoir, the message Refill washer fluid, level low appears together with the symbol in the driver display.
- When the Refill washer fluid, a level low message together with the symbol appears on the driver display, it is time to refill the washer fluid
- Open the bonnet with the handle in the passenger compartment and then with the handle under the front edge of the bonnet.
- Open the washer fluid reservoir cap.
- Washer fluid is filled into the reservoir with the blue cap. The reservoir is used for windscreen washers, rear window washers and headlamp washers.
- Top up with washer fluid.
- Close the washer fluid reservoir cap and then close the bonnet.
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.
- Cars with headlamp washing: 5.3 litres (5.6 qt).
- Cars without headlamp washing: 3.5 litres (3.7 qt).
Brake fluid – specifications
Prescribed grade: Volvo Original or equivalent fluid compliant with a combination of Dot 4, 5.1 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
Open the bonnet
1 | Pull the handle beside the pedals to release the bonnet from its fully closed position. |
2 | Sweep from left to right in the opening under the bonnet, move the handle up and to the side to release the catch and lift the bonnet. |
Warning – bonnet not closed
The open bonnet is indicated by a warning symbol and graphic in the driver display as well as by an acoustic signal.
Close the bonnet
- Make sure that nothing is in the way of the bonnet closing to avoid crushing damage.
- Lower the bonnet.
- When the bonnet stops against the lock catch, push the bonnet to close it completely.
- The bonnet must be audibly locked on both sides.
- Check that the bonnet has been properly locked and that it is not open slightly.
- Never drive with an open bonnet.
- Thoroughly check that the bonnet is fully closed after it has been opened.
- 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 appearance of the engine compartment may differ depending on the model and engine variant.
- Coolant expansion tank
- Reservoir for brake fluid (located on the driver’s side)
- Washer fluid filler pipe
- Central electrical unit
- Air filter
- Engine oil filler pipe
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
Prescribed grade:
Ready-mixed coolant approved by Volvo.
If the concentrated coolant is used, mix it with 50% pure water. The 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.
Topping up coolant
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 can be coolant under the car, that coolant evaporates or if more than 2 litres (approx. 2 quarts) is needed when topping up.
The coolant can be very hot when the engine has been running. Always allow the coolant to cool before unscrewing the filler cap.
When filling – carefully unscrew the cap to release any overpressure.
- Screw off the cap in 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.
Coolant expansion tank, right-hand drive car.
- 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.
- Coolant is harmful to ingest and may cause organ damage.
- Only use coolant of Volvo-approved quality. If the 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
- Location of warning decal for the engine compartment.
- The appearance of the engine compartment may differ depending on the model and engine variant.
- Volvo recommends:
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 in the driver display.
- Warning or information about the car’s oil level can be indicated by a warning symbol 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
See the 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 in the centre display.
Select Car status.
Different types of information about the car can be shown, including oil level.
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
- Filler pipe,
- In some cases, the 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.
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.

Fuses in the engine compartment
- Special pliers are housed on the inside of the cover to facilitate the 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.
