Air-suspension seats and full air-suspension suspension provide dual shock absorption, filtering out most road bumps. Comprehensive onboard comfort features effectively reduce long-distance driving fatigue, resulting in industry-leading driver acceptance and satisfaction.

Operation and Maintenance Guidelines

Pre-Driving Inspection
Before starting each day, check the levels of engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and urea solution; check for potential leaks in the oil lines, air lines, and hydraulic retarder lines; check the airbag suspension pressure, frame connection bolts, and tow pin tightness; check tire pressure and tread wear; test the EBS electronic braking system, original hydraulic retarder, intelligent driving assistance system, and all vehicle lights; clear fault codes from the electronic control system before driving.

Driving Operation Standards
Warm up at idle for 1-2 minutes after a cold start; do not rev the engine at high speeds when cold; use the default intelligent automatic mode for normal driving; activate adaptive cruise control during highway cruising; avoid frequent rapid acceleration and emergency braking to protect the transmission and delicate electronic control components; prioritize using the hydraulic retarder on long downhill sections, coordinating with gear shifting for speed control; strictly avoid prolonged use of the brake pedal on downhill sections to avoid brake fade risk.

Parking and Engine Shutdown Procedures
Park the vehicle smoothly on a level, hard surface, shift to neutral (N), and engage the handbrake; turn off all electrical equipment, including the air conditioner, central control screen, and vehicle electrical appliances; let the engine idle for 2 minutes to allow the turbocharger and hydraulic retarder to cool down before shutting it off; for long-term parking, disconnect the trailer's air hoses from the electrical system and turn off the vehicle's main power supply to protect the delicate electronic control modules.

Routine Maintenance
Regularly clean dust from the radiator and intercooler surfaces and remove mud and debris from the chassis; strictly follow Volvo's official long-term maintenance schedule, changing the dedicated engine oil, filter, transmission fluid, and rear axle gear oil; regularly lubricate the towing pins, suspension pivots, and brake articulation components with grease; in high-salt-spray coastal areas, regularly perform chassis anti-corrosion and anti-rust maintenance; when not in use, park the vehicle in a constant-temperature, dry area, disconnect the negative terminal of the battery, and start the vehicle monthly to complete system self-checks and warm-up maintenance.
