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).

for the windshield washer, tailgate window washer and headlight washer*.
NOTE

Recommended grade: Washer fluid recommended by Volvo, with frost protection
during cold weather and temperatures below the freezing point.
CAUTION

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.
