Volvo Cars and the environment
Our environmental philosophy
Quality, Safety and Environmental care are
the three core values which guide all the
activities of Volvo Cars. Volvo cars comply
with strict international environmental standards and are manufactured in some of the
cleanest and most resource-efficient plantsin
the world. Volvo Cars has been awarded
multi-site global certification under the
ISO 14001 environmental standard, ensuring continuous improvement in the area. All
Volvo models are supplied with an environmental product declaration - or EPD - which
enables the customer to compare the environmental performance of different models
and engines. Visit epd.volvocars.se for more
information.
Clean inside and out
Your Volvo is designed to be
, a concept which means that you benefit
out
in two ways - from a clean cabin and a highly
efficient exhaust treatment system, which
ensures that your car saves fuel and releases
a minimum of harmful substances.
Inside, the air entering the passenger compartment is filtered to protect you and your
passengers from dust, particles and pollen.
A sophisticated air quality system known as
1
can be added as an option to ensure
IAQS
that the air supplied to the passenger compartment is cleaner than the air outside. Consisting of an electronic sensor and an activated carbon filter, the system monitors the
1. Interior Air Quality System
clean insideand
level of carbon monoxide in the incoming air
and closes the air intakes to prevent the level
in the cabin from becoming too high - for
example in heavy city traffic, tailbacks and
tunnels -while the carbon filter traps nitrogen
oxides, ground-level ozone and hydrocarbons. In addition, to benefit allergy sufferers,
the fabrics used in the interior comply with
the provisions of the international Öko-Tex
standard. Outside, a special catalytic coating
known asPremAir®

is used to convert harmful ground-level ozone in the air passing
through the radiator into pure oxygen.

Volvo Cars and the environment
A Volvo meets strict international environmental demands and delivers low fuel consumption toreduce emissionsof greenhouse
carbon dioxide. In terms of fuel economy,
Volvo cars are highly competitive in their
respective segments.
Volvo workshops and the environment
Regular maintenance carried out by an
authorised Volvo workshop creates the conditions for low fuel consumption and contributes to a cleaner environment. Volvo service
technicians are equipped with the knowhow
and tools to ensure that your car delivers the
best possible environmental performance.
Reducing environmental impact
We believe that our customers share our
concern for the environment. You can contribute to improving the environment by using
only ecologically approved car careproducts,
and by ensuring that your car is serviced and
maintained according to the instructions in
the owner's manual.
The following hintswill help you to do your bit
for the environment:
• Always ensure that your tyre pressures
are correct. Poorly inflated tyres increase
fuel consumption.
• Since roof racks and ski
boxes increase air
resistance, leading to
significantly higher fuel
consumption, they
should be removed
immediately after use.
• Remove unnecessary items from the car the greater the load the higher the fuel
consumption.
• Is your car equipped with an engine block
heater? If so, use it for a few hours before
starting from cold to reduce fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
• Drive gently! Avoid accelerating and braking too hard.
• Drive in the highest possible gear- lower engine
revs reduce fuel consumption.
• Ease back on the accelerator on downhill gradients.
• Use engine braking. Take your foot off the
accelerator and change down.
• Avoid idling. Switch off the engine in traffic queues.
• Always dispose of environmentally hazardous
waste, such as batteries and oils, in an environmentally safe manner. If uncertain, ask
your authorised Volvo workshop for
advice.
• Service your car regularly.
These hints will help you to reduce your fuel
consumption without increasing your travel
time or lessening the enjoyment of driving.
Apart from being kind to your car, you'll be
saving money - and the Earth's resources.

Seatbelts
Tensioning the hip strap. The belt must be
positioned low down.
Always use a seatbelt
Heavy braking can have serious consequences if the seatbelts are not used. Ensure
that all passengers use their seatbelts.
Otherwise, rear seat passengers may be
thrown forward against the backs of the front
seats in a collision.
Putting on a seatbelt:
– Pull the belt out slowly and secure it by
pressing the buckle into the lock. A loud
"click" indicates that the belt has locked.
Releasing the belt:
– Press the red lock button and let the belt
retract. If the belt does not retract fully,
feed the belt in by hand so that it does not
hang lose.
The belt locks and cannot be withdrawn:
• if it is pulled out too quickly.
• during braking and acceleration.
• if the car leans heavily.
It is important that the belt lies against the
body so it can provide maximum protection.
Do not lean the backrest too far back. The
seatbelt is designed to protect in a normal
seating position.
Keep the following in mind:
• do not use clips or anything else that can
prevent the belt from fitting properly.
• ensure the belt is not be twisted or
caught on anything.
• the hip strap must be positioned low
down (not over the abdomen).
• tension the hip strap over the lap by
pulling the diagonal shoulder belt as
illustrated.
The seatbelts and airbags interact. If a
seatbelt is not used or is used incorrectly,
this may diminish the protection provided
by the airbag in the event of a collision.
Each belt is intended for one person only.
If the belt has been subjected to a major
load, such as in a collision, the entire belt
must be replaced. This includes the reel,
mountings, bolts and buckles. Some of
the protective characteristics of the belt
may have been lost, even if it appears to
be undamaged. Replacethe seatbelt if the
belt is worn or damaged. The new
seatbelt must be type-approved and
intended for installation in the same
position as the replaced belt.
Never modify or repair the seatbelts
yourself. Contact an authorised Volvo
workshop.

Seatbelt reminder
A symbol lights up in the roof console (above
the rearview mirror) as a reminder that the
seatbelts are not buckled up. A symbol also
lights up on the combined instrument panel.
If the car is stationary, the reminder is extinguished after approximately six seconds.
Front seat
The symbols remain lit as long as the driver or
front seat passenger do not have their
seatbelts on. (If a child seat is place on the
front seat,the reminderdoes notcome on.)In
addition to the two symbols, an audible
1. Function can depend on market
1
reminder is heard that changes frequency
with the speed of the car.
Rear seat
The seatbelt reminder has two sub-functions:
• Notifies of the number of seatbelts being
used via a message on the information
display. This function is automatically
activated as soon as a rear door is
opened and closed, even if no one is
actually sitting in the rear seat. The
message is automatically erased
approx. 10 seconds after the car is driven
away, or can be acknowledged manually
by pressing the READ button.
• Warns that someone in the rear seat has
removed their seatbelt while the car is
moving. A message appears on the information display and an audible warning
sounds. The warning ceases once the
belt has been put back on, or can be
acknowledged manually by pressing the
READ button.
The message on the display that states how
many seatbelts are in use can be viewed at
any time. To read saved messages, press the
READ button.
Safety
Seatbelts and pregnancy
It is extremely important that the seatbelt is
used correctly duringpregnancy. It should be
in contact with the body. The upper part of
the seatbelt should fit between the breasts
and against the side of the abdomen. The hip
section of the seatbelt must be flat and as far
under the abdomen as possible. It must not
slide up towards the abdomen.
An expectant mother who is driving should
move the seat as far back as possible in order
to obtain the greatest possible distance
between the steering wheel and the
abdomen. Set the steering wheel as far
forward as a comfortable driving position
permits.

Label on seatbelts with seatbelt tensioner
Seatbelt tensioner
All the seatbelts (except the centre rear belt)
are equipped with belt tensioners. A
mechanism in the belt tensioner tightens the
belt around the body in the event of a sufficiently violent collision. This provides more
effective restraint for passengers.

Airbags (SRS)
WARNING!
WARNING!
WARNING!
Airbag (SRS) on the driver’s side
The car has an SRS airbag (Supplemental
Restraint System) in the steering wheel to
supplement the protection afforded by the
seatbelt. This airbag is fitted intothe centreof
the steering wheel. The steering wheel is
marked SRS AIRBAG.
Passenger airbag (SRS)
The passenger airbag1is fitted behind a
panel above the glovebox. This panel is
marked SRS AIRBAG.
Safety
To minimise the risk of injury if the airbag
deploys, passengers must sit as upright
as possible with their feet on the floor and
backs against the backrest. Seatbelts
must be secured.
Never place a child in a child seat or on a
booster cushion in the front seat if the
airbag (SRS) is activated.
Never allow a child to stand or sit in front
of the front passenger seat. No one
shorter than 140 cm (4 ft 7) should sit in
the front passenger seat if the airbag
(SRS) is activated.
Failure to follow the advice given above
can endanger the life of the child.

Repairs must only be performed by an
authorised Volvo workshop.
Airbags (SRS)
NOTE! The airbags have a function whereby
their capacities are adapted to the collision
force to which the vehicle is subjected.
SRS system, left-hand drive
SRS system
The SRS system consists of a gas generator
surrounded by an inflatable airbag. A sufficiently violent collision trips sensors and
ignites the gas generator, inflating the airbag
with hot gas. To cushion the impact, the
airbag deflates whencompressed. Whenthis
occurs, smoke escapes into the car. This is
completely normal. The entire process,
including inflation and deflation of the airbag,
occurs within tenths of a second.
SRS system, right-hand drive
NOTE! The sensors react differently
depending on the course of the collision and
whether the seatbelts on the driver and
passenger side are used. It is therefore
possible that only one (or none) of the
airbags may inflate in a collision. The SRS
system senses the force of the collision on
the carand adapts accordingly so thatone or
more airbags is deployed.

Side airbags (SIPS)
Side airbag locations.
Side airbags — SIPS bags
A large proportion of the collision force is
transferred by the SIPS to the floor, roof,
beams, pillars, and other structural parts of
the body. The side airbags on the driver and
front passenger seats protect the chest area
and are an important part of the SIPS. The
SIPS bag system consists of two main parts:
The side airbags and the sensors. The side
airbags are located in the front seat
backrests.
Use onlyVolvo genuinecar seatcovers, or
seat covers approved by Volvo. Other
seat covers may impede the operation of
the side air bags.
Side airbags are a supplement to the
SIPS system. Always wear a seatbelt.
Work on the SIPS bag system can cause
malfunction and result in serious personal
injury. Alwayscontact anauthorised Volvo
workshop.
Do not put objects in the area between
the outside ofthe seat and the door panel,
since this area is required by the side
airbag.
Child seats and side airbags
The side airbag does not diminish the
protection provided by the car to children
seated in a child seat or on a booster
cushion.
A child seat or booster cushion can be
placed on the front passenger seat provided
that the car does not have an activated
passenger airbag.
Side airbags are a supplement to the SIPS
system. Always wear a seatbelt.

SIPS bag system
The SIPS bag system consists of a gas
generator, side airbag and sensors. A sufficiently violent collision trips the sensors and
ignites the gas generator, inflating the side

cushions the initial impact while deflating.
The side airbag is only normally deployed on
the side of the collision.

Inflatable Curtain (IC)
Properties
The inflatable curtain is a supplement to the
SIPS system.It isconcealed inthe headlining
along both sides of the roof and protects
both front and rear seat passengers. The
inflatable curtain is activated by the SIPS
collision sensors if the car is hit from the side.
When deployed, the inflatable curtain
inflates. The inflatable curtain helps to
prevent the driver and passengers from
striking their heads on the inside of the car
during a collision.
The inflatable curtain is a supplement to
the seatbelts.
Always use a seatbelt.
Never hangor fasten anything on the roof
handles. The hook is only intended for
light outer garments (not for hard objects
such as umbrellas).
Do not screw or fit anything to the

WARNING!
WARNING!
Safety
Protection against whiplash
injury — WHIPS
The whiplash protection system (WHIPS)
consists of energy absorbing backrests and
specially designed head restraints for the
front seats. The system is actuated by a rearend collision, where the angle and speed of
the collision, and the nature of the colliding
vehicle all have an influence.
The WHIPS system is asupplement tothe
seatbelts. Always wear your seatbelt.
Properties of the seat
When the WHIPS system is deployed, the
front seat backrests fall backward to alter the
position of the driver and front seat
passenger. This diminishes the risk of
whiplash injury.
WHIPS system and child seats/ booster cushions
The WHIPS system does not diminish the
protection provided by the car to children
seated in a child seat or on a booster
cushion.
Never modify or repair the seat or WHIPS

General information on climate control
Air conditioning
The climate control system cools or heats,
and dehumidifies the air entering the
passenger compartment. Thecar is equipped
with either manual (A/C) or electronic climate
control (ECC).
NOTE! The air conditioning can be switched
off, but for optimum air quality in the
passenger compartment and to prevent the
windows from misting up, it should alwaysbe
on (even at temperatures of 0-15 °C).
Misting windows
Reduce the problem of windows misting up
on the inside by cleaning the windows. Use a
regular window cleaner.
Ice and snow
Remove ice and snow from the climate
control air intake (the grille between the
bonnet and the windscreen).
Fault tracing
An authorised Volvo workshop has the instruments and tools required for any fault tracing
or repair of your climate control system.
Entrust checks and repairs only to trained
personnel.
Refrigerant
The air conditioning system contains R134a
refrigerant. This refrigerant contains no
SS
chlorine, which means that it is harmless to
the ozone layer. The system must only be
charged with R134a refrigerant. Have an
authorised Volvo workshop carry out this
work.
Passenger compartment filter
All air which enters the passenger
compartment is first cleaned by a filter. This
filter must be replaced regularly. Follow the
Volvo Service Programme for the recommended replacement intervals. If the car is
used in aseverely contaminated environment,
it may be necessary to replace the filter more
often.
NOTE! There are several different types of
passenger compartment filter. Ensure that
the correct filter is installed.
Display
There is a display above the climate control
panel that displays climate control settings.
Personal preferences
You can set preferences for two climate
control functions:
• Fan speed in AUTO mode (applies only
to cars with ECC).
• Recirculation timer for passenger
compartment air.
For information about these settings, see
page 63.

Actual temperature
The temperature you select corresponds to
the physical experience with reference to
factors such as air speed, humidity and solar
radiation in and around the car.
Sensor location:
• The sun sensor is on the top side of the
dashboard.
• The temperature sensor for the
passenger compartment is behind the
climate control panel.
NOTE! Do not cover or block the sensors
with clothing or other objects.
Side windows and sunroof
To ensure that the air conditioning works
satisfactorily, close all side windows and the
sunroof (if fitted).
Acceleration
The air conditioning system switches off
temporarily at full throttle. You may feel a
temporary rise in temperature.
Ventilation slots in the parcel shelf
Do not obstruct the ventilation slots for the
cargo compartment in the parcel shelf with
clothing or other objects.
Condensation
In warm weather, condensation from the air
conditioning system may drip under the car.
This is normal.

Keyless drive (option)
Locks and alarm
Keyless lock and ignition system
The keyless drive system allows the car to be
unlocked, driven and locked without the need
for a key. You simply have to have the remote
control with you in a pocket or bag.
The system makes it easier and more
convenient to open the car, for example with
shopping bags in one hand and a child in the
other. It saves you having to take out or look
for the remote control.
The two remote controls incorporate the
keyless drive feature. You can order
additional remote controls. The keyless drive
system can handle up to six remote controls.
Remote control max. 1.5 m from the car
To be able to open a door or the boot lid, the
remote control must be within a maximum of
approximately 1.5 m of the car’s door
handles or boot lid. The grey shaded area in
the image shows the area covered by the
system’s antennae.
If someone leaves the car and takes with
them a keyless drive remote control, a
warning message appears on the information
display while a reminder signal is heard. The
warning message disappears when the
remote control is brought back to the car or
the ignition dial is turned to position I. The
warning is only issued if the key dial is in
position 1 or 2 after someone has opened
and closed a door.
The warning message and reminder signal
disappear when the remote control is
brought back to the car after one of the
following actions:
• a door has been opened and closed
• the ignition dial has been turned to
position I
• the READ button has been pressed.
Do not leave a remote control in the car
If a keyless drive remote control is left in the
car, it becomes passive when you lock the
car. No unauthorised person can open the
door. But if someone breaks into the car and
finds the remote control, it can be activated
and used again.
