02 Service and maintenance
Mediation/Arbitration Program (for Canada only)
If you feel that the efforts by Volvo and the retailer to resolve a factory-related vehicle service concern have been unsatisfactory, Volvo
Cars of Canada Corp. participates in an impartial third party mediation/ arbitration program administered by the Canadian Motor
Vehicle Arbitration Plan (CAMVAP).

The CAMVAP program is a straightforward
alternative to resolve a disagreement when
all other efforts to produce a settlement have
failed. This procedure is without cost to you
and is designed to eliminate the need for
lengthy and expensive legal proceedings.
In the CAMVAP program, impartial third-party arbitrators conduct hearings at mutually
convenient times and places in an informal
environment. These impartial arbitrators review the positions of the parties, make decisions and, where appropriate, render awards
to resolve disputes. CAMVAP decisions are
fast, fair and final as the arbitrator's award is
binding on both you and Volvo Cars of Canada Corp. The CAMVAP services are available
in all Canadian territories and provinces. For
more information, without charge or obligation, call your CAMVAP provincial administrator directly at 1-800-207-0685, or visit
their website at www.camvap.ca.

2013 Service and Maintenance Requirements
Customer Preparation Service
02

Your Volvo has received a comprehensive
Customer Preparation Service. Your retail facility has performed a Customer Preparation
Service which includes a complete inspection and servicing of your vehicle. The Customer Preparation Service (CPS) is a key part
of a comprehensive maintenance schedule
developed by Volvo for your vehicle.

Oil and Filter Change Interval
The correct oil and filter interval is every
10.000 miles = 16,000 km or 12 months
WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. For service intervals beyond 150,000 miles / 240,000 kilometers, please consult your authorized Volvo
retailer.

Cabin Air Filter All Models
• Replacement every 20,000 miles (32,000
km)
• Replace at least once a year or more often
in heavy traffic and dirty/dusty areas.

Maintenance Scheduling
Maintenance intervals have usually been determined by accumulated mileage. As driving
conditions and operational demands differ,
these factors have a major influence on routine maintenance. For these reasons Volvo
recommends that your maintenance sched-

ule services and oil filter changes be based
on a combination of time and mileage.

All vehicles except XC90
The Text Window in the instrument panel will
display a message when vehicle maintenance is required.
1st display when maintenance interval is
near: "Book time for maintenance"
2nd display when maintenance is required:
"Time for regular maintenance"
3rd display when maintenance is overdue:
"Maintenance overdue"

XC90
The message "Time for regular maintenance"
will display when the maintenance interval
has been reached.
The MINIMUM SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE, for which you are responsible, begins at 10.000 miles = 16,000 km or every 12
months whichever comes first.
Volvo recommends that you bring your vehicle in for service at least once a year regardless of mileage. For service intervals beyond
150,000 miles / 240,000 kilometers, consult
your authorized Volvo retailer.

A maintenance Service Operations Chart, on
page 14, details these service requirements.
They are listed by engine type with required
emission related service indicated.

Service Support
Discuss your vehicle's special servicing
needs with your Volvo Retail Facility's Service Staff. They can tailor a maintenance program based on your requirements. Your Volvo Retailer has access to the latest up-todate technical information, special tools, and
advanced training for their technicians. This
support is an important advantage to you,
the Volvo owner, as systems become more
sophisticated and intricate.
Servicing your Volvo should be done at your
convenience. Therefore, plan to make your
appointments ahead of time so that your retailer can schedule the right personnel and
equipment to be available for the work your
Volvo requires.
Should you have any questions concerning
service, parts, or warranty coverage, your
Volvo retailer will be happy to answer them
for you. Should you require additional information, they can further assist you by contacting Volvo's Regional personnel for clarification.

engines capacity, and for the smoothest possible operation.

MINIMUM

NOTE
When switching to higher octane fuel or
changing gasoline brands, it may be necessary to fill the tank more than once before a
difference in engine operation is noticeable.

Use of Additives
With the exception of gas line antifreeze during winter months, do not add solvents,
thickeners, or other store-bought additives to
your vehicle's fuel, cooling, or lubricating
systems. Overuse may damage your engine,
and some of these additives contain organically volatile chemicals. Do not needlessly
expose yourself to these chemicals.

Fuel Formulations

Typical pump octane label

Volvo recommends premium fuel for best
performance, but using 87 octane1 or above
will not affect engine reliability.
Volvo engines are designed to achieve rated
horsepower, torque, and fuel economy performance using premium 91 octane fuel. In
demanding conditions, such as operating the
vehicle in hot weather, towing a trailer, or
driving for extended periods at higher altitudes than normal, it may be advisable to
switch to higher octane fuel (91 or higher) or
to change gasoline brands to fully utilize your
1

AKI (ANTI KNOCK INDEX) is an average of the
Research Octane Number (RON) and the Motor Octane Number (MON), MON+RON/2.

Do not use gasoline that contains lead as a
knock inhibitor, and do not use lead additives. Besides damaging the exhaust emission control systems on your vehicle, lead
has been strongly linked to certain forms of
cancer.
Many fuels contain benzene as a solvent. Unburned benzene has been strongly linked to
certain forms of cancer. If you live in an area
where you must fill your own gas tank, take
precautions. These may include:
• standing upwind away from the filler nozzle while refueling
• refueling only at gas stations with vapor
recovery systems that fully seal the mouth
of the filler neck during refueling
• wearing neoprene gloves while handling a
fuel filler nozzle.

WARNING
Never carry a cell phone that is switched
on while refueling your vehicle. If the phone
rings, this may cause a spark that could ignite gasoline fumes, resulting in fire and injury.

WARNING
Carbon monoxide is a poisonous, colorless,
and odorless gas. It is present in all exhaust
gases. If you ever smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, make sure the passenger
compartment is ventilated, and immediately
return the vehicle to a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician for correction.

Deposit control gasoline (detergent
additives)
Volvo recommends the use of detergent gasoline to control engine deposits. Detergent
gasoline is effective in keeping injectors and

VCNA warranty manual week 1220.book Page 11 Wednesday, April 4, 2012 11:44 AM

02 Service and maintenance
Fuel Requirements
intake valves clean. Consistent use of deposit control gasolines will help ensure good
drivability and fuel economy. If you are not
sure whether the gasoline contains deposit
control additives, check with the service station operator.

NOTE
Volvo does not recommend the use of external fuel injector cleaning systems.

NOTE
Some U.S. and Canadian gasolines contain
an octane enhancing additive called methyl-cyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT). If such fuels are used, your
Emission Control System performance may
be affected, and the Check Engine Light
(malfunction indicator lamp) located on your
instrument panel may light. If this occurs,
please return your vehicle to an authorized
Volvo retailer for service.

system. Such damage may not be covered
under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Volvo allows the use of the following "oxygenated" fuels; however, the octane ratings
listed on page 10 must still be met.

Alcohol – Ethanol

Fuels containing up to 10% ethanol by volume may be used. Ethanol may also be referred to as Ethyl alcohol, or "Gasohol."
Ethers – MTBE

Unleaded fuel
Each Volvo has a three-way catalytic converter and must use only unleaded gasoline.
U.S. and Canadian regulations require that
pumps delivering unleaded gasoline be labelled "UNLEADED". Only these pumps have
nozzles which fit your vehicle's filler inlet. It is
unlawful to dispense leaded fuel into a vehicle labelled "unleaded gasoline only". Leaded gasoline damages the three-way catalytic
converter and the heated oxygen sensor system. Repeated use of leaded gasoline will
lessen the effectiveness of the emission control system and could result in loss of emission warranty coverage. State and local vehicle inspection programs will make detection
of misfueling easier, possibly resulting in
emission test failure for misfueled vehicles.

Gasoline containing alcohol and
ethers (oxygenated fuels)

Fuels containing up to 15% MTBE may be
used.

Some fuel suppliers sell gasoline containing
"oxygenates" which are usually alcohols or
ethers. In some areas, state or local laws require that the service pump be marked indicating use of alcohols or ethers. However,
there are areas in which the pumps are unmarked. If you are not sure whether there is
alcohol or ethers in the gasoline you buy,
check with the service station operator. To
meet seasonal air quality standards, some
areas require the use of "oxygenated" fuel.

Methanol
Do not use gasolines containing methanol
(methyl alcohol, wood alcohol). This practice
can result in vehicle performance deterioration and can damage critical parts in the fuel

02 Service and maintenance
Engine oil
Oil specifications
02

Only full synthetic oil meeting ACEA A5/B5
requirements should be used. Lower quality
oils may not offer the same engine performance or engine protection.
Volvo recommends Castrol.
Oil additives must not be used.
Oil viscosity

Incorrect viscosity oil can shorten engine life
under normal use. SAE 5W-30 will provide
good fuel economy and engine protection.
See the viscosity chart.
Viscosity chart

Extreme engine operation
SAE 0W-30 oil meeting ACEA A5/B5 requirements is recommended for driving in areas
with sustained low temperatures.

IMPORTANT
Only full synthetic oil meeting ACEA A5/B5
requirements should be used. Lower quality
oils may not offer the same engine performance or engine protection.

02 Service and maintenance
Turbocharger Operating Tips
In order to maximize the efficiency and operation of your vehicle, the following points
should be observed:

Do not race the engine just prior to
switching off!
02

1. Oil change and filter replacement every
10,000 miles/16,000 km, or at a time interval based on the type of driving and
conditions as detailed in your Owner's
Manual. You should maintain a record of
these services (repair order receipts).
2. Do not use engine oil additives as
they may adversely affect the engine.

IMPORTANT
Never race the engine immediately after
starting. Oil flow may not reach some lubricating points fast enough to prevent turbocharger damage.

Before switching off the engine, let it operate
at idle for a short time to allow the spinning of
the turbocharger compressor's turbine vanes
to slow. After hard driving, this idle time
should last a couple of minutes, during which
the vanes will slow and the compressor will
cool down while still receiving oil lubrication.
If the turbine vanes are spinning at high
speeds when the engine is switched off,
there is a great risk of heat damage and/or
turbine seizure due to lack of lubrication.

Things You Should Know About Your Volvo Warranties
Where Volvo Warranties Apply

Warranty Repairs

The Warranties described in this booklet apply to new 2013 model year Volvo passenger
vehicles used for non-commercial purposes
(i.e., personal/family use). The vehicle must
have been originally sold by Volvo Cars of
North America, LLC,1 or Volvo Cars of Canada Corp.1 and registered and operated in any
of the 50 states of the U.S., the District of Columbia, any territories or commonwealths of
the United States, or any territories or provinces of Canada. Any remaining portion of
the warranties is fully transferable to subsequent owners free-of-charge.

Warranty repairs which are required as a result of defects in material or workmanship,
and are brought to the attention of an authorized Volvo retailer by an owner, will be performed by an authorized Volvo retailer only at
no charge during the warranty period.

Previously Owned Volvos

Diagnosis and evaluation of the symptoms
and conditions will be made by any authorized Volvo retailer.

If you have purchased a previously owned
Volvo and the New Vehicle Warranty has not
expired, you are entitled to the remaining
portion of that warranty. Please refer to pages 26 and 28 of this booklet for information
on how to provide the changed ownership information.

Volvo Cars of North America, LLC, Volvo Cars
of Canada Corp. are sometimes referred to in
this booklet as “Volvo.” All such references to
“Volvo” are intended to refer to Volvo Car Corporation, Volvo Cars of North America, LLC,
and/or Volvo Cars of Canada Corp.

To obtain repairs under warranty, contact an
authorized Volvo retailer and explain the condition. We recommend your selling retail facility as they are most familiar with your car,
its service history, and your driving habits.
Have the maintenance records section of this
booklet and service records available.

Only repairs/diagnosis deemed by the retailer to be covered under warranty will be made
within a reasonable period of time during
normal business hours. Parts will be repaired or replaced by an authorized Volvo
retailer only, using genuine Volvo new or
remanufactured parts or software, at Volvo's discretion. These are the recommended parts for your Volvo. They meet the same
design and quality standards as those components originally installed in your vehicle. All
parts replaced will become the property of

Volvo for technical material analysis or other
usage.
Repairs required because of damage, misuse, abuse, collision, normal wear and tear,
incomplete or improper maintenance are not
covered by the warranties. Also, specific
items noted within each section of the warranties under "What Is Not Warranted" are
excluded and will not be considered.

Owner’s Responsibilities:
Maintenance/Servicing

You are responsible for the following maintenance requirements:
• The operation, maintenance, and care of
your Volvo according to the instructions
and requirements listed in your Owner's
Manual and Warranty and Maintenance
Records Information booklet.
• The parts/systems which require seasonal
servicing or replacement at recommended
maintenance intervals, such as (but not
limited to) tune-ups, air conditioning recharge, cleaning, polishing, lubricants,
and replacement of consumable and wear
items.
• The cost of parts and/or labor for required
maintenance services including (without
limitation), items listed for your model's
initial service and subsequent maintenance service intervals.

VCNA warranty manual week 1220.book Page 36 Wednesday, April 4, 2012 11:44 AM

02 Warranty
Things You Should Know About Your Volvo Warranties

• Keeping a copy of all repair orders and
receipts as well as a record of all maintenance services performed. Records of
these services will be required for substantiation of proper maintenance.

When You Take Delivery
Defect or damage to paint, sheet metal, upholstery, or other appearance items that may
occur prior to delivery usually are corrected
during the inspection process at the assembly plant and the retailer facility. In the event
you find any of these concerns when you receive your vehicle, notify your retailer without
delay.

Production Changes
Volvo reserves the right to make changes in
or additions to passenger cars manufactured
and/or sold by Volvo at any time without incurring any obligation to make the same or
similar changes to passenger cars previously
manufactured or sold by Volvo.

Maintenance & Servicing
It is recommended that you use your authorized Volvo retailer for maintaining and servicing your vehicle. Your Volvo retailer employs factory trained technicians and is focused on offering you the best overall experience with your new Volvo product.
Additionally your authorized Volvo retailer is
prepared to make sure that any revisions or
upgrades, as required by Volvo, will be performed on your vehicle. (This excludes upgrades of a cosmetic nature which are made
to the car over time. See also "Production
Changes").

02 Warranty
Volvo’s 2013 New Vehicle Limited Warranty-U.S./New Vehicle Warranty-Canada
What Is Warranted
Volvo warrants that repairs required to Volvo
passenger vehicles due to defects in material
or workmanship and occurring under normal
use will be made at no charge for parts and/
or labor during the warranty period. Those
parts and services not covered are detailed
in this section and should be carefully reviewed.

Limitations
No implied warranty of merchantability or
fitness for a particular purpose shall apply
except during the applicable periods of
this warranty.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights,
and you may also have other rights which
vary from state to state or province to province. Some states/provinces do not allow
limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations may not
apply to you.
For a complete description of Volvo's “Limitations and Disclaimers,” refer to page 41.

The Warranty Period—Four (4) years/
50,000 Miles/80,000 Km
The warranty period for repairs is four (4)
years or 50,000 miles/80,000 kilometers,
whichever occurs first. (Vehicles used for
commercial purposes are covered for one (1)
year 15,000 miles/24,000 kilometers, whichever occurs first.)
The warranty starts on the date the vehicle is
sold/delivered to the first retail purchaser or
put into service, whichever occurs first.
Vehicles placed into Retailer Demonstrator
Service will receive the remainder of the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty (U.S.), New Vehicle
Warranty (Canada) period when retailed.
Certain components are covered by specific
warranties, such as the Federal Emissions
Warranty. Once the specific warranty period
is over, these components will be covered
under the remaining New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.

Genuine Volvo Accessories
If a Volvo-approved accessory is purchased
and installed by a Volvo retailer as part of
your new vehicle purchase, the warranty period is four (4) years or 50,000 miles/80,000
kilometers, whichever occurs first. The warranty period will start and run concurrently

with the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. If a
Volvo- approved accessory is installed by a
Volvo retailer after your new vehicle purchase, it will be warranted for the balance of
your New Vehicle Limited Warranty period, or
for a period of two (2) years from the date of
installation, whichever is longer. Some genuine Volvo parts/accessories are covered by
their own specific limited warranty for a different period. For those parts/accessories,
the applicable warranty is supplied at the
time of purchase, including a list of conditions and limitations.

Customer Assistance
Should you have questions regarding the
warranties or repairs, please review the section titled "Customer Support and Assistance" on page 6 of this booklet for owner information and instructions.
Non-commercial vehicles are covered by On
Call®, a roadside assistance program which
provides coverage for some specific items
not covered by the warranties (e.g., towing).
A separate booklet describing this program
is supplied in your Owner's Wallet.

Wear and Tear Items
02

As part of your vehicle's normal service and
maintenance requirements, certain parts may
need to be replaced due to wear and tear.
Since these parts are consumed at varying
rates, replacement is based on the operation
and condition of your vehicle and on fixed
schedules under normal operation and use of
your vehicle. These items include, but may
not be limited to, the following list: filters, fuses, belts, brake pads, brake rotors, remote
keyless entry system batteries, wiper blades,
clutch lining, shock absorbers, floor mats,
upholstery/rugs, etc.
Replacement of these items are the owner's
responsibility, with the exception of those
items covered during the Adjustments Coverage Period (refer to page 39) or where specific manufacturing defects may be demonstrated.

Adjustments Coverage

Battery

Adjustments which are refinements to the
original factory fittings and alignments, and
which are required as part of the break-in period, will be made during the Adjustments
Coverage Period. Exceptions are items covered under normal maintenance services, including Pre-Delivery or items excluded in the
New Vehicle section. The duration of the adjustment coverage is twelve (12) months or
12,000 miles/20,000 kilometers, whichever
occurs first.

Under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, the
original equipment battery installed in your
2013 Volvo is covered against defects in
parts and labor for four (4) years or 50,000
miles/80,000 kilometers, whichever occurs
first.

The term "Adjustments" as used in this warranty refers to minor repairs not usually associated with the replacement of parts or normal maintenance service items. Parts which
are covered for replacement because of wear
during the Adjustments Period only are: wiper blades, remote keyless entry, navigation,
DVD and headphone, system batteries,
brake pads, brake rotors, shock absorbers
and clutch lining. These items may also be
covered under the Basic Warranty Period if
manufacturing defects cause the failure. Examples of labor only repairs which are covered during the Adjustments Period are
wheel balancing, window regulator adjustment and hood adjustment.

coatings, some of which may claim to prevent
pitting, fading, oxidation, etc. These coatings
have not been tested by Volvo for compatibility with your vehicle's clear coat. Some of
them may cause the clear coat to soften,
crack, or cloud. Damage caused by application of aftermarket paint protection coatings
will not be covered under your vehicle's paint
warranty. Use only paint protection products
approved by Volvo. Consult your Volvo retailer
for additional information.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights,
and you may also have other rights which
vary from state to state or province to province. Some states/provinces do not allow
limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations may not
apply to you.

What Is Not Warranted

Warranty Period
The warranty period is for a total of twelve
(12) years. There is no mileage/kilometer limitation.
The warranty begins with the date the vehicle
is sold/ delivered to the first retail purchaser
or put into service, whichever occurs first.

Under the terms of this warranty, only an authorized Volvo retail facility will repair or replace, at Volvo's discretion, the affected
body sheet metal panels free of charge. Repairs will be made within a reasonable period
of time, during normal business hours.

Corrosion Protection Warranty
Should any part of the bodywork of the vehicle be perforated by rust corrosion, the panel(s) affectedly the perforation will be repaired or replaced by any Volvo dealer or

Volvo’s Corrosion Protection, Limited Warranty–U.S./Warranty–Canada
• Damage caused by the application of aftermarket paint protection coatings.
• Damage created as a result of improper
re-treatment of components following repair.

Owner’s Obligations
Failure to make corrections of accident
damage, acts of nature, or to maintain the
vehicle properly, including washing and
polishing as described in the Owner's
Manual, voids this warranty.
It is your responsibility to retain all maintenance and repair documentation. To avoid
potential deterioration, your retailer must be
notified as soon as possible of any problems
with the painted surfaces.

If an accident should occur, you must ensure
that the following conditions are met in order
to maintain coverage under the Corrosion
Protection Warranty:

• repairs are performed to Volvo standards,
• your Volvo retailer will identify the location
of a Volvo Certified Body and Paint Service Center,
• only genuine Volvo new replacement parts
are installed,
• undercoating and/or rust proofing is reapplied wherever necessary. (See your
Volvo retailer for details on Volvo-approved rust prevention materials.)

NOTE
This warranty can be provided because in
manufacturing the vehicle, Volvo used
processes and materials which are designed to help resist corrosion.
The application of additional rust proofing
products at the time of new car purchase,
is not recommended by Volvo. If non-Volvo products were chemically incompatible
with the Volvo factory applied protection,
they could cause problems which would
result in voiding this warranty.

Volvo warrants that repairs required due to
defects in the material or workmanship to
the seat belt system and Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) installed in your
2013 model year vehicle will be performed
free-of- charge during the warranty period
(except for those items listed under "What
Is Not Warranted").

Limitations

What Is Not Warranted

No implied warranty of merchantability or
fitness for a particular purpose shall apply
except during the applicable periods of
this warranty.

• Seat belt system and Supplemental Restraint System components which show
evidence of damage because of abuse,
misuse, negligence, tampering, or improper installation.
• Replacement of seat belt system or Supplemental Restraint System components
after a vehicle has been involved in a
collision.
• The loss of vehicle use, loss of time,

damages except where required by law.
• Repairs required as part of normal maintenance.
• Replacement of components in accordance with the maintenance schedule.

The Warranty Period
The warranty period is five (5) years and has
no mileage/kilometer limitation.1 It begins
with the date the vehicle is sold/delivered to
the first retail purchaser or put into service,
whichever occurs first.

1 In

the U.S., some states have mandated alternate warranty coverage for seat belts only.

requirements.

Seat belts: "Something We Believe In"
Seat belts

So, urging you to "buckle up" is not just our
recommendation - it's becoming the law! The
few seconds it takes to buckle up may one
day allow you to say, "It's a good thing I was
wearing my seat belt."

Instructions for proper seat belt usage can be
found in your Owner's Manual.

Despite our strongest recommendations, and
your best intentions, not wearing a seat belt
is like believing "it'll never happen to me!"
Seat belts are an integral part of the safety
system engineered into each Volvo.
Volvo urges you and all adult occupants of
your car to properly wear seat belts in all
seating positions, and ensure that children
are properly restrained in the rear seats only,
using an infant car seat or booster seat determined by age, weight and height.
Fact: In every state/province, some type of
child restraint legislation has been passed.
Additionally, most states/provinces have already made it mandatory for occupants of a
car to use seat belts.

Emissions Warranties - U.S. and Canada
Design and Defect Warranty
02

What Is Warranted-U.S.

Volvo warrants that your 2013 model year
Volvo was designed, built, and equipped to
conform at the time of sale to U.S. emission
standards, in accordance with Section 207(A)
of the Federal Clean Air Act, which was applicable when the vehicle was manufactured.
What Is Warranted-Canada

Volvo warrants that your 2013 model year
Volvo was designed, built, and equipped to
conform at the time of sale to Canadian
emission standards, in accordance with the
Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Act, which
was applicable when the vehicle was manufactured.
In the U.S. and Canada

This warranty covers repairs resulting from
any defect in material or workmanship which
would cause the vehicle not to meet emission standards during the applicable warranty period. Some components considered
part of the emission system applicable to this
warranty appear on page 53.
This emission warranty is not conditionally
based on the use of genuine Volvo parts or
service. However, failures which occur as a

result of abuse or lack of maintenance are
not eligible for coverage.
Warranty Period

The federal emissions design and defect
warranty period is two (2) years or 24,000
miles/40,000 kilometers, whichever occurs
first. Volvo continues coverage under new
car warranty to four (4) years or 50,000 miles/
80,000 kilometers, whichever occurs first,
except for certain specified major emissions
components for which the coverage is eight
(8) years or 80,000 miles/130,000 kilometers,
whichever occurs first. These major components include only the three-way catalytic
converter (TWC), engine control module and
the onboard diagnostic system (OBD). (Refer
to the 2013 Emission Warranty Parts List for
specific components' coverage.) The warranty begins on the date the vehicle is sold/delivered to the first retail purchaser or put into
service, whichever occurs first. Any remaining portion of the warranty is fully transferable to subsequent owners free-of-charge.
Where the warranty applies

This warranty applies to 2013 model year vehicles sold by Volvo Cars of North America,
LLC, or Volvo Cars of Canada Corp., certified
for sale, registered and normally operated in
any 50 states of the U.S., the District of Co-

lumbia, any territories or commonwealths of
the United States, or any territories or provinces of Canada.
Repairs and Service

The emission control system of your new
2013 model year Volvo passenger vehicle
was designed, built, and tested using genuine Volvo parts. The car is certified to be in
conformity with the appropriate U.S. Federal
or Canadian emission control regulations at
the time of production.
Servicing

It is recommended that any replacement
parts used for maintenance, repair, or replacement of emission control systems be
genuine Volvo parts or genuine Volvo remanufactured parts.
You may elect to have maintenance, repair, or replacement of the emission control devices and systems performed by
any automotive repair establishment or individual. You may also elect to use parts
other than genuine Volvo parts or genuine
Volvo remanufactured parts which have
been certified by the part manufacturer for
such maintenance, repair, or replacement
without invalidating this warranty. The
cost of such service or parts, however, will
not be covered under the warranty.

VCNA warranty manual week 1220.book Page 49 Wednesday, April 4, 2012 11:44 AM

02 Warranty
Emissions Warranties - U.S. and Canada
Parts
Use of replacement parts which are not
equivalent to Volvo quality may impair the effectiveness of emission control systems. If
other than genuine Volvo parts or genuine
Volvo remanufactured parts are used for
maintenance, repair, or replacement of components affecting emission control, the owner must obtain assurances that such parts
are warranted by their manufacturer to be
equivalent to genuine Volvo parts in performance and durability. Volvo assumes no liability under this warranty for parts other than
genuine Volvo parts or genuine Volvo remanufactured parts. However, the use of nonVolvo replacement parts does not invalidate
the warranty on other components unless the
non-Volvo parts cause damage to warranted
parts or systems.
Retailer Service

Repairs and service covered by this warranty
will be performed by an authorized Volvo retailer at his place of business with no charge
for parts or labor (including diagnosis), using
genuine Volvo parts or genuine Volvo remanufactured parts for any part of the emission
control system covered by this warranty and
found defective.
If an emergency occurs and no authorized
Volvo retailer is available, repairs may be per-

formed at any available service establishment. Volvo will reimburse the owner for
such repairs (including labor, in most cases)
that are covered under this warranty. Replaced parts and paid invoices must be presented at a Volvo retail facility as a condition
of reimbursement for emergency repairs not
performed by a Volvo retailer.
We encourage you to have all recommended
maintenance and repairs on your new 2013
Volvo vehicle completed. Volvo will not deny
a warranty claim solely because you have no
record of maintenance; however, Volvo may
deny a warranty claim if your failure to perform maintenance resulted in the failure of a
warranted part.
Receipts covering the performance of regular
maintenance must be retained for reference
and confirmation purposes.

What Is Not Warranted
1. Required maintenance services as specified in the Owner's Manual and pages 1416 of this booklet. Items that affect emissions and require scheduled replacement
are warranted up to their first replacement
point, [such as spark plugs, filters, belts,
etc.]. Once these parts have been replaced at the scheduled replacement
point, they are no longer covered by this
Emissions Warranty. The replaced parts
are covered by the one year spare parts
warranty.
2. Malfunctions in any part caused by any
of the following: misuse, improper adjustments, modification, alteration, tampering, disconnection of system parts,
and improper, inadequate or non-maintenance.
3. Damage resulting from accidents, acts
of nature, and events beyond the control of Volvo.
4. The use of fuel and/or oil or other fluids
which do not meet the Volvo-approved
standards as set forth on pages 10-12
of this booklet, the Owner's Manual, or
Volvo Service Literature.
5. Repairs on vehicles for which the true
odometer mileage cannot be readily determined.
6. The cost incurred from the use of parts
other than genuine Volvo replacement

7. Any loss of time, inconvenience, loss of
vehicle use or commercial loss.

Emission Performance Warranty-U.S.
and Canada
The warranty begins on the date the vehicle
is sold/ delivered to the first retail purchaser
or put into service, whichever occurs first.
In accordance with Section 207(B) of the
Clean Air Act, Canadian MDU and Canadian
Provincial Warranty Regulations, Volvo warrants to the first vehicle purchaser and each
subsequent purchaser, that if
1. the vehicle is maintained and operated in
accordance with the written instructions
for proper maintenance and use (Refer to
the Owner's Manual under the section
titled "Service and Routine Maintenance"
and page 8 of this booklet), and
2. the vehicle fails to conform at any time
during the first 24,000 miles/40,000 kilometers or two (2) years (whichever occurs first) to the applicable emission
standards as judged by an EPA approved or Canadian Provincial approved
emission short test, and

3. such non-conformity will result in the
vehicle owner having to bear any penalty or other sanction (including denial of
the right to use the vehicle) under local,
state, federal or provincial law, then
Volvo shall remedy the non-conformity
at no cost to the owner. Some components considered part of the two (2)
Year/ 24,000 mile/40,000 kilometer
Emission Performance Warranty are listed on pages 53 and 54.
Exceptions

1. If the vehicle has been in operation for
more than two (2) years or 24,000 miles/
40,000 kilometers, Volvo will remedy only
those non-conformities resulting from failure of certain specified emission control
components for which coverage is eight
(8) years or 80,000 miles/130,000 kilometers, whichever occurs first. These major
components include only the three-way
catalytic converter (TWC), engine control
module and the on-board diagnostic system (OBD).
2. Volvo may deny an Emission Performance Warranty claim on the basis of
an uncertified replacement part used in
the maintenance and repair of a vehicle
if the part in question is either defective
in material or workmanship or not equivalent from an emission standpoint to the
original equipment part.

3. An Emission Performance Warranty
claim may be denied on the basis of
non-compliance by a vehicle owner with
the written instructions for proper maintenance and use.

Warranty Claim Procedures
02

An Emission Performance Warranty claim
may be raised immediately upon the failure of
an EPA-approved or Canadian Provincial approved emission test, if, as a result of that
failure, an owner is required by law to take
action of any kind in order to avoid imposition of a penalty or sanction. A warranty
claim may be generated by bringing a vehicle
to any authorized Volvo retailer. To the extent
required by any federal, state, or provincial
law, whether statutory or common law, a vehicle manufacturer shall be required to provide a means for non-franchised repair facilities to perform Emission Performance Warranty repairs.
However, to avoid delay and ensure proper
service, it is recommended that service under this warranty be performed by an authorized Volvo retailer.
When determining whether an owner has
complied with the written instructions for
proper maintenance and use, Volvo may require an owner to submit evidence of compliance if it has an objective reason for believing:
1. maintenance was not performed and,

2. that if not performed, it could be the cause
of the vehicle exceeding applicable emission
standards.
Failure to notify the owner of a decision to
honor or deny an Emission Performance
Warranty claim within thirty (30) days from
the time the vehicle is presented for repair
shall result in the vehicle manufacturer being
responsible for repairing the vehicle without
charge to the vehicle owner, unless such failure is attributable to the vehicle owner or to
events which are beyond the control of the
vehicle manufacturer or repair facility.

Volvo Cars Of North America, LLC1 (“Volvo”
or “VCNA”) warrants that your 2013 model
year Volvo passenger vehicle was designed,
built and equipped to conform to applicable
California emission standards as specified
under the Health and Safety Code 43205.
This warranty covers repairs resulting from
any defect in material or workmanship which
would cause any part installed on this vehicle
which affects any regulated emissions to not
meet these requirements or would cause the
vehicle to fail to pass a Smog Check test during the applicable warranty period.

Warranty Coverage
The warranty period begins on the date the
vehicle is delivered to the first retail purchaser or the initial date the vehicle is put into service, whichever occurs first. The emission
warranty is transferable to subsequent owners.
The vehicle must be maintained and operated under normal use in accordance with Volvo's written instructions for proper maintenance and use, which are detailed in the
Owner's Manual and in this booklet. Items
and conditions listed under "What Is Not
Warranted" are excluded, if any of these conditions exist.

NOTE
No implied warranty of merchantability or
fitness for a particular purpose shall apply
except during the applicable periods of this
warranty. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts,
so the above limitations may not apply to
you.

Volvo will repair, adjust, or replace a part

Failures which occur, however, because of

abuse or lack of required maintenance, are
not eligible for coverage.

Where The Warranty Applies
This warranty applies to 2013 model year vehicles originally sold by Volvo Cars of North
America, LLC, certified for sale and registered in the states of California, Connecticut,
Maine, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,
Vermont and Washington.

Repairs and Service
The emission control system of your new
2013 Volvo passenger vehicle was designed, built and tested using genuine Volvo
parts, and the car is certified to be in conformity with California emission control requirements.
According to Federal regulations, you are eligible for additional emissions warranty coverage for up to eight (8) years or 80,000
miles, whichever first occurs for certain specific major emission components. The Federal emissions warranty starts on the date the
vehicle is sold to the first retail purchaser or
put into service, whichever occurs first. California and Federal Warranty coverages are
concurrent.

Volvo’s Emission System Warranty
Servicing
It is recommended that any replacement
parts used for maintenance, repair or replacement of emission control systems be
genuine Volvo parts or genuine Volvo remanufactured parts. The owner may elect to
have maintenance, replacement, or repair
of the emission control devices and systems performed by any automotive repair
establishment or individual. He/she may
also elect to use parts other than genuine
Volvo parts or genuine Volvo remanufactured parts for such maintenance, replacement, or repair without invalidating
this warranty. The cost of such service
parts, however, will not be covered under the
warranty except in an emergency. (See Retailer Service.)

Parts
Replacement parts which are not equivalent
to Volvo quality may impair the effectiveness
of emission control systems. If other than
genuine Volvo parts or genuine Volvo remanufactured parts are used for maintenance, replacement or repair of components affecting
emissions, the owner should obtain assurances that such parts are warranted by their
manufacturer to be equivalent to genuine
Volvo Cars of North America, LLC parts in
performance and durability.

Volvo assumes no liability under this warranty for parts other than genuine Volvo parts or
genuine Volvo remanufactured parts. The
use of non-Volvo replacement parts, however, does not invalidate the warranty on other
components unless non-Volvo parts cause
damage to those warranted parts or systems.

Retailer Service
Repairs, adjustments, and service covered
by this warranty will be performed by any authorized Volvo retailer at his place of business. There will be no charge for parts or labor (including diagnosis) when genuine Volvo
parts or genuine Volvo remanufactured parts
are used for any part of the emission control
system or for any part which may affect
emissions covered by this warranty.
If an emergency occurs and an authorized
Volvo retailer is not reasonably available, repairs may be performed at any available service establishment or by any individual, using
any replacement part. When a warranted part
is not available within thirty (30) days or the
repair cannot be completed within thirty (30)
days, repairs may be performed at any available service establishment or by any individual, using any replacement part.

Volvo will reimburse the owner for emergency repairs (including diagnosis) that are covered under this warranty. The expenses,
however, cannot exceed our suggested retail
price for all warranted parts replaced and labor charges, based on Volvo's recommended time allowance for the warranty repair and
the geographically appropriate hourly labor
rate. Replaced parts and paid invoices must
be presented at a Volvo retailer as a condition of reimbursement for emergency repairs
not performed by a Volvo retailer.

Failure to notify the owner of a decision to
honor or deny a Performance Warranty Claim
within thirty (30) days from the time the vehicle is initially presented for repair shall result
in the vehicle manufacturer being responsible for repairing the vehicle without charge to
the vehicle owner, unless such failure is attributable to the vehicle owner or to events
beyond the control of the vehicle manufacturer or the repair facility.
You are advised to have all recommended
maintenance or repairs on your new 2013
Volvo vehicle performed. Volvo will not deny
a warranty claim solely because you have no
record of maintenance; however, we may
deny a warranty claim if your failure to perform required maintenance resulted in the
failure of a warranted part.

Receipts and/or maintenance records covering the performance of regular maintenance

Inspection Program
California, Connecticut, Maine,
Massachusetts, Maryland, New
Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island, Vermont and Washington
The following provisions apply to vehicles
which fail to pass the California, Connecticut,
Maine, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,
Vermont or Washington Smog Inspection.
Should your vehicle fail a smog check test
during the warranty period, you may choose
to have the vehicle repaired at any authorized
Volvo retailer. The authorized Volvo retailer
will make the necessary repairs within the
three (3) year/ 50,000-mile period so that the
vehicle will pass the inspection. After three
(3) years/50,000 miles, but before a period of
use of seven (7) years/70,000 miles, the authorized Volvo dealer will repair or replace
only those parts listed on page 64. After seven (7) years/70,000 miles, but before a period
of use of eight (8) years/80,000 miles, the authorized Volvo retailer will cover only the catalytic converter, engine control module, central electronic module and on-board diagnostic device. PZEV vehicles identified on
page 34 of this booklet have all emissions
components covered for a period of fifteen
(15) years or 150,000 miles. Volvo will pay for
the repair unless the failure was caused by

abuse, neglect, improper maintenance, or
the use of leaded fuel or fuels not recommended in your Owner's Manual or this
booklet. If the failure is covered under this
warranty, Volvo shall be liable for diagnostic
and repair expenses. If the failure is caused
by a combination of warrantable and nonwarrantable conditions, the owner shall not
be liable for the portion of diagnostic and repair costs relating to the warrantable condition. If the failure is caused by a nonwarrantable condition, the vehicle owner shall be liable for all diagnostic and repair expenses,
but not to exceed the maximum permissible
under the inspection program. The owner
may choose to have the vehicle repaired at a
facility other than a Volvo retailer; however, if
a warrantable condition is found, the owner
must bring the vehicle to an authorized Volvo
retailer to have the repairs completed at no
cost for parts, labor, and diagnosis. Volvo will
not reimburse the owner for diagnostic costs
incurred at the unauthorized service facility
except in the case of an emergency.

What Is Not Warranted
1. Required maintenance services as specified in the tables beginning on page 14 of
this booklet. Items that affect emissions
and require scheduled replacement are
warranted up to their first replacement
point, [such as spark plugs, filters, belts,
etc.]. Once these parts have been replaced at the scheduled replacement
point, they are no longer covered by this
Emission Warranty.
2. Malfunctions in any part caused by misuse, improper adjustments (by other
than a Volvo dealer during warranty
repair work), modification, alteration,
tampering or disconnection of system
parts.
3. Damage resulting from accidents, acts
of nature, or events beyond the control
of Volvo.
4. The use of fuel and/or oil or other fluids
which do not meet the Volvo-approved
standards as set forth in the Owner's
Manual and on pages 10 and 12 of this
booklet.
5. Repairs on vehicles for which the true
odometer mileage cannot be readily determined.
6. Parts other than genuine Volvo replacement or remanufactured parts used for
maintenance, repair or replacement af-

written, expressed or implied.
