Volvo XC90: Maintenance and service / Corrosion protection
Your vehicle is constructed with protection against corrosion.
Corrosion protection for the body consists of modern metallic protective coatings
on the sheet metal, a high-quality painting process, corrosion-protected and minimized
metal overlap, and shielding plastic components, abrasion protection and supplemental
rust inhibitor in exposed areas. In the chassis, exposed components of the wheel
suspension are made of corrosion-resistant cast aluminum.
Inspection and maintenance
The corrosion protection does not normally require maintenance, but keeping the
vehicle clean helps reduce the risk of corrosion. The use of strong alkaline or
acidic cleaning fluids should be avoided on shiny body components. Any stone chips
in the paint should be touched up as soon as they are discovered.
The vehicle should be washed as soon as it becomes dirty. The longer the dirt
remains, the more difficult it will be to keep the vehicle clean. It could also
lead to paint damage...
The paintwork consists of multiple layers. It is an important part of the
vehicle's corrosion protection and therefore needs to be checked regularly.
The most common types of paint damage are minor stone chips, scratches and damage
to e...
Other information:
The vehicle is equipped with standard and electric seat belt tensioners that
can help tension the seat belt in a critical situation or collision.
Standard seat belt tensioners
All seat belts are equipped with a standard seat belt tensioner.
In a collision of sufficiently violent force, the seat belt tensioners will tension
the seat belts in order to more effectively restrain the occupants...
When hoisting the vehicle, it is important that the jack is positioned on
the designated points under the vehicle.
The triangles in the plastic covering indicate where the jack
attachment points/lifting points (red areas) are located.
NOTE
For vehicles with Leveling Control*: If the vehicle is equipped
with pneumatic suspension, this feature must be turned off before the vehicle is
lifted ont..
