Volvo and the environment

Volvo is committed to the well-being of its cus­tomers. As a natural part of this commitment, we care about the environment in which we all live. Concern for the environment means an everyday involvement in reducing our environmental impact.
Volvo's environmental activities are based on a holistic view, which means we consider the over­all environmental impact of a product throughout its complete life cycle. In this context, design, pro­duction, product use, and recycling are all impor­tant considerations. In production, Volvo has partly or completely phased out several chemicals including CFCs, lead chromates, asbestos, and cadmium; and reduced the number of chemicals used in our plants 50% since 1991.
Volvo was the first in the world to introduce into production a three-way catalytic converter with a Lambda sond, now called the heated oxygen sen­sor, in 1976. The current version of this highly efficient system reduces emissions of harmful substances (CO, HC, NOx) from the exhaust pipe by approximately 95 – 99% and the search to eliminate the remaining emissions continues. Volvo is the only automobile manufacturer to offer CFC-free retrofit kits for the air conditioning system of all models as far back as the 1975 model 240. Advanced electronic engine controls and cleaner fuels are bringing us closer to our goal. In addition to continuous environmental
refinement of conventional gasoline-powered internal combustion engines, Volvo is actively looking at advanced technology alternative-fuel vehicles.
When you drive a Volvo, you become our partner in the work to lessen the car's impact on the environment. To reduce your vehicle's environ­mental impact, you can:
Maintain proper air pressure in your tires. Tests have shown decreased fuel economy with improperly inflated tires.
Follow the recommended maintenance schedule in your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet.
Drive at a constant speed whenever possible.
See a trained and qualified Volvo service technician as soon as possible for inspection if the check engine (malfunction indicator) light illuminates, or stays on after the vehicle has started.
Properly dispose of any vehicle-related waste such as used motor oil, used batteries, brake pads, etc.
When cleaning your vehicle, please use gen­uine Volvo car care products. All Volvo car care products are formulated to be environ­mentally friendly.

IntelliSafedriver support

IntelliSafe is Volvo's philosophy regarding vehi­cle safety. It encompasses a number of systems, both standard and optional, that are designed to help make driving and traveling in a Volvo safer.

Support

Systems that help make driving safer are an inte­gral part of IntelliSafe. These include optional features such as Adaptive Cruise Control* that helps maintain a set distance to a vehicle ahead, Park Assist Pilot*, which assists in parking the vehicle, Cross Traffic Alert*, Blind Spot Information*, etc.

Accident prevention

Systems such as City Safety are designed to automatically apply the brakes in situations in which the driver does not have time to react. Lane Keeping Aid* alerts the drive if the vehicle inadvertently crosses a lane's/road's side marker line.

Protection

The vehicle is equipped with e.g., seat belt pre­tensioners that pull the seat belts taut in critical situations when there is a collision risk and numerous airbags designed to help provide cush­ioning if certain types of collisions should occur.

8" instrument panel
The instrument panel displays information such as speed, an incoming phone call or the track that is currently playing. It is controlled using both steering wheel keypads.
Center display
Many of the vehicle's main functions are con­trolled from the center display, a touchscreen that reacts to taps or other gestures. The number of physical buttons is thereby minimized. The screen can be operated with or without gloves.
The center display is used to control e.g., the cli­mate and infotainment systems and to adjust the power seats*. The information shown here can be dealt with by the driver or the front seat passen­ger.
Voice control system
The voice control system ena­bles the driver to operate cer­tain vehicle functions without removing his/her hands from the steering wheel and it understands natural speech.
Use voice commands to e.g., play a track on the infotainment system, make a phone call, raise the passenger compartment temperature or to read a text message.
For additional information about all of the func­tions/system, see the respective articles in the on-board owner's manual or the printed supple­ment.

Driver distraction

Please keep the following warnings in mind when operating/servicing your vehicle.
A driver has a responsibility to do everything pos­sible to ensure his or her own safety and the safety of passengers in the vehicle and others sharing the roadway. Avoiding distractions is part of that responsibility.
Driver distraction results from driver activities that are not directly related to controlling the vehicle in the driving environment. Your new Volvo is, or can be, equipped with many feature-rich enter­tainment and communication systems. These include hands-free cellular telephones, navigation systems, and multipurpose audio systems. You may also own other portable electronic devices for your own convenience. When used properly and safely, they enrich the driving experience. Improperly used, any of these could cause a dis­traction.
For all of these systems, we want to provide the following warning that reflects the strong Volvo concern for your safety. Never use these devices or any feature of your vehicle in a way that dis­tracts you from the task of driving safely. Distrac­tion can lead to a serious accident. In addition to this general warning, we offer the following guid­ance regarding specific newer features that may be found in your vehicle:
WARNING
Never use a hand-held cellular telephone while driving. Some jurisdictions prohibit cellular telephone use by a driver while the vehicle is moving.
If your vehicle is equipped with a naviga­tion system, set and make changes to your travel itinerary only with the vehicle parked.
Never program your audio system while the vehicle is moving. Program radio pre­sets with the vehicle parked, and use your programmed presets to make radio use quicker and simpler.
Never use portable computers or per­sonal digital assistants while the vehicle is moving.

Accessory installation

We strongly recommend that Volvo owners install only genuine, Volvo-approved acces­sories, and that accessory installations be performed only by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
Genuine Volvo accessories are tested to ensure compatibility with the performance, safety, and emission systems in your vehicle. Additionally, a trained and qualified Volvo service technician knows where accessories may and may not be safely installed in your Volvo. In all cases, please consult a trained

WARNING
The driver is always responsible for operating the vehicle in a safe manner and for comply­ing with current statutes and regulations.
It is also essential to maintain and service the vehicle according to Volvo's recommendations as stated in the owner's information and the service and warranty booklet.
If the on-board information differs from the printed owner's manual, the printed informa­tion always takes precedence.

Volvo Structural Parts Statement (p. 24)

Volvo Structural Parts Statement

Volvo has always been and continues to be a leader in automotive safety.
Volvo engineers and manufactures vehicles designed to help protect vehicle occupants in the event of a collision.
Volvos are designed to absorb the impact of a collision. This energy absorption system including, but not limited to, structural components such as bumper reinforcement bars, bumper energy absorbers, frames, rails, fender aprons, A-pillars, B-pillars and body panels must work together to maintain cabin integrity and protect the vehicle occupants.
The supplemental restraint system including but not limited to air bags, side curtain air bags, and deployment sensors work together with the above components to provide proper timing for air bag deployment.
Due to the above, Volvo Cars of North America does not support the use of aftermarket, alterna­tive or anything other than original Volvo parts for collision repair.
In addition Volvo does not support the use or re­use of structural components from an existing vehicle that has been previously damaged. Although these parts may appear equivalent, it is difficult to tell if the parts have been previously replaced with non-OE parts or if the part has been damaged as a result of a prior collision. The

Crash event data (p. 25)

Crash event data

This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like sit­uations, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in under­standing how a vehicle's systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:
How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fastened;
How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understand­ing of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur.
EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving condi­tions and the EDR never registers who is driving the vehicle or the location of a crash or a near crash-like situation. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data rou-
tinely acquired during a crash investigation. To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed.
Furthermore, your vehicle is equipped with a number of computers whose task is to continu­ously control and monitor the vehicle’s operation. They can also register some of this information during normal driving conditions, most importantly if they detect a fault relating to the vehicle’s oper­ation and functionality or upon activation of the vehicle’s active safety systems (e.g. City Safety and the auto-brake function). Some of the regis­tered information is required by technicians when carrying out service and maintenance to enable them to diagnose and rectify any faults that have occurred in the vehicle and to enable Volvo to ful­fill legal and other regulatory requirements. Infor­mation thus registered in the vehicle is registered in the vehicle’s computers until the vehicle is serviced or repaired. In addition to the above, the registered information may – on an aggregated basis – be used for research and product devel­opment purposes in order to continuously improve the safety and quality of Volvo vehicles.
