Before a long distance trip
It is always worthwhile to have your vehicle checked by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician before driving long distances.
Your retailer or service technician will also be able to supply you with bulbs, fuses, spark plugs and wiper blades for your use in the event that problems occur.
As a minimum, the following items should be checked before any long trip:
• Check that engine runs smoothly and that
fuel consumption is normal.
• Check for fuel, oil, and fluid leakage.
• Check transmission oil level1.
• Check condition of drive belts.
• Check state of the battery's charge.
• Examine tires carefully (the spare tire as
well), and replace those that are worn.
Check tire pressures.
• The brakes, front wheel alignment, and
steering gear should be checked by a
trained and qualified Volvo service technician
only.
• Check all lights, including high beams.
• Reflective warning triangles are legally
required in some states/provinces.
• Have a word with your Volvo retailer if you
intend to drive in countries where it may be
difficult to obtain the correct fuel.
• Consider your destination. If you will be
driving through an area where snow or ice
are likely to occur, consider snow tires.
