VOLVO SERVICE

Volvo Service Organization

In order to get the most out of the invested capital represented by a car,

must be looked after and serviced rationally. Volvo has gone to a great

amount 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 repair 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.

It is not only in your own country that there is a Volvo workshop within

easy reach but Volvo also has a widely distributed service network in

other countries too.

VOLVO SERVICE

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 cost-free ser-

vice inspection after 2 500 km (1 500 miles) running. If possible, let the

dealer who supplied the vehicle carry out this service inspection. If nec-

essary, however, any of our dealers can do this.

I f 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 ser-

vice inspections in accordance with the suggestions made in our

Service

Book. Thorough and regular servicing is o f vital importance for the per-

formance and length o f life o f the vehicle.

Always use genuine Volvo spares.

DESCRIPTION

General

The Volvo 121/122 S is a two- or four-door, five-seater car. Many

colours are available and in each particular case the colour of the internal

fittings and upholstery harmonizes with the external finish of the car.

In addition to a spacious luggage compartment, where the spare wheel

and tool kit are stowed, there is also plenty of storage space inside the

car itself, such as a shelf with its own lighting under the dashboard,

a recessed hat shelf below the rear window and roomy pockets on the

inside of the front doors. Standard equipment on the car includes a trip

meter in the speedometer, a windscreen washer and a back-up light which

goes on automatically when the reverse gear is engaged. Both front seats

are fitted with safety belts. The car is of the integral construction type

so that there is no separate frame. The front and rear suspensions as

well as the engine and transmission are attached directly to the body.

The surface finish of the body is synthetic and the primer used rust-

proofs the body. The car is also thief-proof since the connection between

the ignition switch and the ignition coil is in the form of an armoured

cable.

Type designations

In all correspondence con-

cerning your vehicle with

the dealer and when order-

ng spare parts, the

type

designation, chassis and en-

gine number

should always

be quoted.

On the USA market, 12234 and 13234 have desig-

nations 12244 and 13244 respectively.

Moreover, the letter

M is not included in the

type designation for the models on the USA market.

The type designation and chassis number are

stamped on the cowl under the bonnet.

Stamped on a plate to the left under the bonnet

is the type designation together with the code num-

bers for colour and upholstery.

The engine type designation, part number and

serial

number are given on the left-hand side of

the cylinder block. The last figures of the part

number are stamped on a tab. The serial number

follows this with all the figures stamped on. For

dentifying the engine, both the part number and

serial

number should be quoted, for example

496801-12345.
