Q
How to check tire pressure on 2018 Volvo XC90?
To check the tire pressure of the 2018 Volvo XC90, first make sure the tires are cold (the vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours or driven for no more than 2 kilometers). Then, use a digital tire pressure gauge or the tire pressure detection equipment at a gas station/repair shop. Unscrew the tire valve cap, align the tire pressure gauge with the valve stem and press it firmly, and read the displayed tire pressure value. Compare it with the vehicle's recommended value (usually indicated on the driver's side door frame label, inside the fuel tank cap, or in the user manual. The standard tire pressure for the XC90 is approximately 230 - 250 kPa). If the tire pressure is insufficient, use an air pump to inflate the tires to the recommended value. If it's too high, press the center of the valve stem to release air. In the hot climate of Malaysia, the tire pressure may rise slightly due to high temperatures, but there's no need to deliberately release air because the vehicle's recommended value already takes temperature changes into account. Checking the tire pressure once a month regularly can ensure driving safety and fuel efficiency. At the same time, it's recommended to check the spare tire pressure (if equipped), and note that abnormal tire pressure may cause uneven tire wear or a decline in handling performance. If the tire pressure warning light appears on the dashboard, it needs to be dealt with immediately.
Q
What is the fuel economy of a 2018 Volvo XC90?
The 2018 Volvo XC90 comes in versions such as the T5 and the T8 Twin Engine Inscription. The official combined fuel consumption of the T5 version is 7.9L per 100km, while that of the T8 Twin Engine Inscription version is 2.1L per 100km. However, the actual fuel economy can be affected by multiple factors. In terms of driving habits, aggressive driving styles like rapid acceleration and sudden braking can increase fuel consumption. On the contrary, good habits such as smooth starts and constant - speed driving can help reduce fuel consumption. Regarding road conditions, in congested urban areas where vehicles frequently start and stop, fuel consumption will go up. On the other hand, on highways where vehicles can maintain a stable high - speed, fuel consumption is usually lower. If the vehicle is overloaded, for example, when it is often full of passengers or carrying a large amount of cargo, the engine has to output more power, which also leads to an increase in fuel consumption. In addition, good vehicle maintenance, such as regular servicing and maintaining proper tire pressure, is beneficial for keeping fuel consumption low.
Q
How to check the oil in a 2018 Volvo XC90?
To check the engine oil level of the 2018 Volvo XC90, first make sure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and turn off the engine for at least 10 minutes to let the oil drain back into the oil pan. Then, open the engine compartment and find the orange or yellow dipstick. Pull it out, wipe it clean, re - insert it, and then pull it out again. Check if the oil level is between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks. If it's below the "MIN" mark, you need to add 0W - 20 full - synthetic engine oil that meets the manufacturer's specifications. It's worth noting that in the tropical climate of Malaysia, it's recommended to regularly check the condition of the engine oil, as high temperatures may accelerate oil oxidation. Meanwhile, the electronic oil gauge of the XC90 can be viewed through the center console screen, but checking with the traditional dipstick is still a reliable method. For turbocharged engines, maintaining an appropriate oil level is especially important, as the oil not only lubricates but also cools the turbo components. It's recommended to check the oil level every 5,000 kilometers or every 3 months. You should also confirm the oil condition before long - distance driving, which helps to extend the engine's lifespan and maintain optimal performance.
