WARNING
Remember that the radiator fan (located at
the front of the engine compartment,
behind the radiator) may start or continue
to operate automatically for up to approx.
6 minutes after the engine has been
switched off.
Always have the engine cleaned by a work-
shop - an authorised Volvo workshop is
recommended. There is a risk of fire if the
engine is hot.
WARNING
The ignition system works at a very high
and hazardous voltage. The car's electrical
system must always be in ignition position
0 when work is being performed in the
engine compartment.
Do not touch the spark plugs or ignition
coil when the car's electrical system is in
ignition position II or when the engine is
hot.

risk that this will cause serious damage to the
engine.
