SERVICING
Servicing before long-distance driving
If
you're thinking of travelling
abroad with your vehicle or making
any other long journey, you should
have your vehicle thoroughly check-
ed at a Volvo workshop. You will en-
joy your journey better if you know
that your vehicle is in perfect trim.
You drive in a more relaxed way
if
you're certain that everything is
functioning perfectly. You thus avoid
irritating incidents and expensive
and time-making stoppages. Even
if something unforeseen should hap-
pen,
your journey does not need
to be spoiled. Wherever you go you
know you have Volvo workshops
within reach and these workshops can take care of your vehicle very
quickly. Do not forget the regular servicing during your trip abroad. All
Volvo workshops abroad are equipped to give your vehicle the service
it
needs.
If you prefer to look over your vehicle yourself, the
following hints are worth noting
1
Check the brakes, front wheel alignment and steering gear.
2
Check the engine and drive unit for fuel, oil and coolant leakage.
3
Examine the tyres carefully. Replace worn tyres.
4
If you are not sure whether the engine is functioning perfectly and
the fuel consumption is normal, you can save both time and money
by doing a thorough overhaul.
5
Examine the state of charge of the battery and clean the terminals.
6
Check the tool kit and spare wheel.
7
Check the lighting.
