Volvo Cars and the environment
Our environmental philosophy
Quality, Safety and Environmental care are
the three core values whichguide all the activities of Volvo Cars. Volvo cars comply with
strict international environmental standards
and are manufacturedin some ofthe cleanest
and most resource-efficient plants in the
world. Volvo Cars has been awarded multisite 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 differentmodelsand 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
1. Interior Air Quality System
clean inside and
the 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 theprovisions of the international
2
Öko-Tex
standard. Outside, a special
catalytic coating known asPremAir®3is used
to convert harmful ground-level ozone in the
air passing through the radiator into pure
oxygen.
2. An international ecological standard
for textiles.

Engelhard Corporation.
P
Volvo Cars and the environment
A Volvo meets strict international environmental demands and delivers low fuel
consumption to reduce emissions of greenhouse carbon dioxide. In terms of fuel
economy, Volvo cars are highlycompetitive in
their respective segments.
Volvo workshops and the
environment
Regular maintenance carried out by an
authorised Volvo workshopcreates 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 care
products, and by ensuring that your car is
serviced and maintained according to the
instructions in the owner’s manual.
The following hintswill helpyou todo your bit
for the environment:
• Always ensurethat your tyrepressures 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 orcaught
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.
Replace the seatbelt if the belt is worn or
damaged. The newseatbelt must betypeapproved and intended for installation in
the same position as the replaced belt.
• Never modify or repair the seatbelts
yourself. Contact an authorised Volvo
workshop.

Safety
Seatbelts and pregnancy
It is extremely important that the seatbelt is
used correctly during pregnancy. It should be
in contact withthe body. The upperpart 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 are equipped with belt
tensioners. A mechanismin thebelt tensioner
tightens the belt around the body in the event
of asufficiently violent collision. This provides
more effective restraint for passengers.

WARNING!
Airbags (SRS)
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 fittedinto the centre of
the steering wheel. The steering wheel is
marked SRS AIRBAG.
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.
NQ
Passenger airbag (SRS)
The passenger airbag is fitted behind a panel
above the glovebox. This panel is marked
SRS AIRBAG.
To minimise the risk of injury if the airbag
deploys, passengers must sitasupright as
possible with their feet on the floor and
backs against the backrest. Seatbelts
must be secured.
4. Not all cars have a passenger airbag
(SRS). This can be unselected when
the car is ordered.

• Never placea 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 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.

• Never interfere with SRS components
in the steering wheel or the panel above
the glovebox.
Safety
If the airbag warning lamp remains lit or
lights while driving, the airbag system is
not fully functional. The symbol can
indicate a fault in the seatbelt, SRS, SIPS
or IC system. Contact an authorised Volvo
workshop as soon as possible.
Warning lamp in the combined
instrument panel
The airbag system is continually monitored by
the control module and its warning lamp is
located in the combined instrument panel.
This lamp lights when the ignition key is
turned to position I, II or III. The lamp goes
out once thecontrol module has checkedthat
the airbag system is fault-free. This usually
takes about 7 seconds.

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. When this
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.
NS
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 sides are used. It is therefore
possible that onlyone (or none)of the airbags
may inflate in a collision. The SRS system
senses the force of the collision on the car
and adapts accordingly so that one or more
airbags is deployed.

Side airbags (SIPS)
WARNING!
WARNING!
WARNING!
Side airbag locations.
Side airbags – SIPS bag
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.
Side airbags are a supplement to the
SIPS system. Always wear a seatbelt.
Use only Volvo genuine carseat covers, or
seat covers approvedby Volvo. Other seat
covers may impede the operation of the
side air bags.
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 abooster cushion.
A child seator booster cushioncan be placed
on the front passenger seat provided that the
car does not have an activated
airbag.

Safety
• Work on the SIPS bag system can
cause malfunction and result in serious
personal injury. Always contact an
authorised Volvo workshop.
• Do not put objects in the area between
the outside of the seat and the door

Safety
WARNING!
WARNING!
Inflatable Curtain (IC)
Properties
The inflatable curtain is a supplement to the
SIPS system. It is concealed in the headlining
along both sidesof the roofand 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 hang or 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
headlining, door pillars or side panels.
This could compromise the intended
protection. Only use Volvo genuine parts
that are approved for placement in these
areas.

WHIPS
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 systemis a supplementto the
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.
Correct seating position
For the best possible protection, the driver
and front seat passenger should sit in the
centre of the seat with as little space as
• If aseat has been subjected to extreme
forces, such as due to a rear collision, the
WHIPS system must be checked by an
authorised Volvo workshop.

When are the safety systems activated?
WARNING!
WARNING!
Safety
Airbags in the steering wheel
and dashboard (SRS)
The airbags deploy:
• if there is a risk that front seat occupants
will be injured by blows against the
dashboard or steering wheel.
The SRS system senses the collision in the
level of braking and the speed reduction
caused by collision. The sensor determines if
the collision is of the character and nature
requiring airbag deployment to protect the
occupants.
The bodywork of the car could be greatly
deformed in a collision without airbag
deployment. This does not indicate a fault in
the airbags. This means that the function was
not needed at that moment and the
occupants were protectedby the othersafety
systems of the car.
Side airbags and inflatable
curtains (SIPS airbags and IC)
The side airbags and inflatable curtains are
normally inflated:
• Only in the event of a side impact when
the car is struck by an object with sufficient force.
NOTE! Deployment of the SRS, SIPS, and IC
systems only occurs once in a collision.
If the airbags have been deployed, we
recommend the following:
– Have the car towed to an authorised Volvo
workshop. Do not drive the car with the
airbags deployed even if the car can be
driven after an accident.
– Let an authorised Volvo workshop replace
components in the SRS, SIPS, seatbelt
and IC systems.
The airbag system control module is
located in the centre console. If the centre
console has become soaked with water,
disconnect the battery cables in the cargo
compartment.
Do not attemptto start; the airbagsmay be
triggered. Have the car towed to an
authorised Volvo workshop.
Never drive with deployed airbags! This
may make the car difficult to steer. Other
safety systems may also be damaged.
Intense exposure to the smoke and dust
released when the air bags are deployed
can cause skinand eye irritation.In case of
problems, wash with cold water and
contact a doctor. The speed of the
deployment and the airbag fabric may
cause friction burns on the skin.

subjected to a major load, such as in
conjunction with a collision, the entire
booster cushion must be replaced. This
includes the seatbelt, complete withbolts.
Even if the booster cushion appears to be
undamaged, it may not afford the same
level of protection. The booster cushion
must also be replaced if it is heavily worn.
Fitting a child seat
Volvo has child safety products that are
designed for and tested by Volvo.
When using other products that are available
on the market, it is important to readthe fitting
instructions included with the product.
• Do not attach the straps for the child seat
to the horizontal adjustment bar, springs,
rails or beams under the seat. Sharp
edges can damage the straps.
• Allow the back of the child seat to rest
against the dashboard. This applies to
cars without a passenger airbag, or where
the airbag is deactivated.
• Never place the child seat in the front seat
if the car is equipped with an activated
8
front passenger airbag. If problems arise
when fitting child safety products, contact
the manufacturer for clearer instructions.
