Specifications

Volvo 1990 760 Model
Automatic transmission
Do not use "kick-down" during the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km).
Breaking-in parking brake
(hand brake)
To obtain best parking brake performance, the brake linings should be broken-in. Stop 5-7 times from 30
mph (50 km/h), transmission in neutral, applying the parking brake with the release button pressed in
during the stop.
The force must not lock the rear wheels. If this happens, release the brake enough to let the wheels
rotate. Drive a mile between each stop to cool the brakes. Check for proper parking brake operation.
Carbons deposit build-up
Your engine has been designed for peak performance and smooth operation. The fuel you plays a major
role on how your engine will function. With the many variations of fuel available, it is important that
detergent blend fuels be used to reduce the risk of intake valve carbon deposit build-up and clogged fuel
injectors. Both of these conditions will rob your engine of the very thing it has been designed for,
performance and smooth operation.
Note:
Volvo does not recommend the use of fuel additives as they can adversely affect engine
performance.
WARNING!
The brake lights are illuminated when applying the parking brake. To warn traffic from behind it is
therefore advisable to depress the brake pedal slightly to illuminate the brake lights.
