Volvo XC90: Maintenance and service / Filling washer fluid
Washer fluid is used to keep the headlights, windshield and rear window clean.
Washer fluid containing anti-freeze should be used in very cold weather (below-freezing
temperatures).

Fill washer fluid into the reservoir with the blue cover. The reservoir is used
for the windshield washer, tailgate window washer and headlight washer*.
NOTE
When there is approximately 1 liter (1 qt) of washer fluid remaining, the message
Washer fluid Level low, refill and the
symbol will be displayed in the instrument
panel.
Recommended grade: Washer fluid recommended by Volvo, with frost protection
during cold weather and temperatures below the freezing point.
CAUTION
Use Volvo's original washer fluid or an equivalent fluid with the recommended
pH value between 6 and 8, diluted as recommended, e.g. in a 1:1 solution with pH-neutral
water.
CAUTION
Use washer fluid with anti-freeze when temperatures are below the freezing
point to help keep the pump, reservoir and hoses from freezing.
