Cleaning floor mats The floor mats should be vacuumed or brushed clean regularly, especially during the winter when they should be taken out for drying. Spots on textile mats can be removed with a mild detergent. Anti-rust treatment Your Volvo has been rust protected at the factory. On external surfaces a heavy coat of wear resistant material has been used, while on the internal surfaces a lighter rust protector is used. The exterior rust protection should be inspected regularly or at least once per year. If the rust protection has been penetrated a repair should be made as soon as possible to prevent moisture from entering between the metal and coating. Carefully clean and remove any rust prior to repair of the rust protective coating. The internal rust protection should normally be renewed first time after 36 months and then at least every 24th month. pg. 70 Paint touch-up Paint touch-up Paint damage requires immediate attention to avoid rusting.
