VOLVO SERVICE

DESCRIPTION
Volvo Service Organization
In order to get the most out of the invested capital represented by a car,
it must be looked after and serviced regularly. Volvo has gone to a great
deal of trouble in the design and selection of material to ensure that
the car in question only requires a minimum of servicing. All this work
will be in vain unless we can count on your co-operation - that is to
say, that you make sure that your vehicle gets the regular servicing it
needs. In order to help you, Volvo has built up a world-wide service
organization. All Volvo dealers have specially trained personnel and
receive a continuous supply of technical information from the Volvo
Service Organization concerning repairs and adjustment work. They have
also special tools, designed at the Volvo factory.
All Volvo dealers have a comprehensive stock of spare parts which is
your guarantee for genuine Volvo spares. This is why our dealers are in
the very best position to give your vehicle first-class service concerning
both maintenance operations and repairs. You should also refer to your
dealer if you need information about your Volvo that is not included
in this instruction book.
Not only in your own country is there a Volvo workshop within
easy reach. Volvo also has a widely distributed service network in
other countries.
Warranty and Service Booklet
A warranty and service booklet accompanies each vehicle when it is
delivered. This book contains a coupon entitling you to a free service inspection after 2 500 km (1500 miles) running. If possible, let the
dealer who supplied the vehicle carry out this service inspection. If necessary, however, any of our dealers can do this.
If our six-month guarantee is to apply, we make one absolute condition
and that is that the above-mentioned cost-free inspection is carried out
at roughly the mileage shown and that the vehicle has been looked after
in accordance with the instructions in this book.
Service Inspections
After the cost-free service inspection has been carried out, you should
make an agreement with your dealer concerning continued, regular service inspections in accordance with the suggestions made in our Service
Book. Thorough and regular servicing is o f vital importance for the performance and length of life of the vehicle.
Always use genuine Volvo spares.
