VOLVO SERVICE
Volvo Service Organization
In order to get the most out of the invested capital represented by a car,
it
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.
