Volvo Car Corporation and the environment
Volvo Car Corporation's
environmental philosophy
Environmental care, safety and quality are the
three core values of the Volvo Car Corporation.
They influence all operations. We also believe
that our customers share our consideration for
the environment.
Your Volvo complies with strict international
environmental standards and is also manufactured in one of the cleanest and most resourceefficient plants in the world. Volvo Car
Corporation has global certification to the ISO
14001 environmental standard. This leads to
continuous improvements within the area of the
environment.
EPI (Environmental Product Information)
environmental product declarations are supplied
for all Volvo models. You can now compare the
environmental impact of different models and
engines. Read more at www.volvocars.com/epi
Fuel consumption
Volvo cars have competitive fuel consumption
in each of their respective classes. The lower
the fuel consumption the lower the emission of
the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide.
Efficient emission control
Your Volvo is manufactured following the
concept - Clean inside and out - a concept that
encompasses a clean interior environment as
well as highly efficient emission control. Your
car saves fuel and releases minimal quantities of
harmful substances.
Applied to the radiator is the PremAir®
catalytic coating which converts up to 75 % of
hazardous ground-level ozone into pure
oxygen.

Air cleaning in the passenger
compartment
A sophisticated air cleaning system, IAQS
(Interior Air Quality System)2 , option, ensures
that the air in the passenger compartment is
cleaner than the air outside.
The system consists of an electronic sensor and
a carbon filter. The air intake is closed if the
level of carbon monoxide in the passenger
compartment becomes too high - for example in
heavy town traffic, queues and tunnels. The
entry of nitrous oxides, ground-level ozone and
hydrocarbons is prevented by the carbon filter.

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
You can help reduce environmental impact, for
example, by purchasing eco-labelled car care
products and by servicing and maintaining the
car according to the instructions in the owner’s
manual.
The following hints will help you to do your bit
for the environment:
· Ensure that your tyre pressures are correct.
Poorly inflated tyres increase fuel consumption.
1
Does not apply to the S80 Executive
· Since a roof rack and ski box 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 unnecessary rapid ac-
celeration and heavy braking.
· Drive in the highest gear pos-
sible. Low engine speeds result
in lower 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 hazar-
dous waste, such as batteries and oils, in an environmentally safe manner. If
uncertain, consult your
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.

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
loose.

Label on seatbelts with seatbelt tensioner
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 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.
Seatbelt tensioner
All the seatbelts 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.
WARNING!
• 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.
• Never modify or repair the seatbelts
yourself. Contact an authorised Volvo
workshop.
• If the belt has been subjected to a major
load, such as in a collision, the entire belt
must be replaced. 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 new seatbelt must be typeapproved and intended for installation in
the same position as the replaced belt.

Seatbelts
8802849r
Seatbelt reminder
The seatbelt warning symbol in the combined
instrument panel and above the rearview mirror
comes on until the driver and front seat
passenger buckle their seatbelts. The seatbelt
reminder switches off after 6 seconds if speed
is below 10 km/h. If the driver or front seat
passenger have not buckled their seatbelts, the
reminder switches on again when the speed
exceeds 10 km/h and switches off if the speed
drops below 5 km/h. If the belt is released, the
function reactivates when the speed exceeds
10 km/h.
The seatbelt reminder is intended for an adult
sitting in the front seat. If a belt-fitted child seat
is fitted in the front seat, the seatbelt reminder
does not switch on.
8803443a
Seatbelts and pregnancy
The seatbelt should always be worn during
pregnancy. But it is crucial that it be worn in the
correct way. The diagonal section should wrap
over the shoulder then be routed between the
breasts and to the side of the belly. The lap
section should lay flat over the thighs and as
low as possible under the belly. It must never
be allowed to ride upward. Remove all slack
from the belt and insure that it fits close to the
body without any twists.
As a pregnancy progresses, pregnant drivers
should adjust their seats and steering wheel
such that they can easily maintain control of the
vehicle as they drive (which means they must
be able to easily operate the foot pedals and
steering wheel). Within this context, they
should strive to position the seat with as large a
distance as possible between their belly and the
steering wheel.
11
Airbag (SRS)
Warning symbol in combined
instrument panel
The Airbag system1 is monitored continuously
by the control module and there is a warning
lamp in the combined instrument panel. This
lamp comes on when the ignition key is turned
to position I, II or III. The symbol goes out
after about 7 seconds if the Airbag system
working correctly.

As well as the warning symbol, a
message appears in the information
display. If the warning symbol
malfunctions, the warning triangle
comes on and the message SRS
AIRBAG SERVICE URGENT
appears in the display. Contact an
authorised Volvo workshop
immediately.
WARNING!
If the warning symbol for the Airbag
system remains on or comes on while
driving, it means that the Airbag system is
not functioning fully. The symbol can
indicate a fault in the seatbelt buckle, SIPS,
SRS or IC system. Contact an authorised
Volvo workshop immediately.
1. Includes SRS and seatbelt tensioner, SIPS and IC.
12
8801907e
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 folded up into the
centre of the steering wheel. The steering wheel
is marked SRS AIRBAG.
WARNING!
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.
8801889e
Passenger airbag (SRS)
The passenger airbag1 is fitted folded up behind
a panel above the glovebox. This panel is
marked SRS AIRBAG.
WARNING!
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.
Airbag (SRS)
WARNING!
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.

Airbag (SRS)
WARNING!
Repairs must only be performed by an
authorised Volvo workshop.
Work on the SRS system can cause
malfunction and result in serious personal
injury.
8803417d
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 when
compressed. 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.
14
8803418d
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 car and adapts
accordingly so that one or more airbags is
deployed.
• The airbags have a function whereby their
capacities are adapted to the collision force
to which the vehicle is subjected.

PACOS (option)
The airbag (SRS) for the front passenger seat
can be deactivated. This is necessary if a child
seat is to be placed there.
Indicator
A text message in the rearview mirror indicates
that the passenger airbag (SRS) is deactivated.
16
Activating/deactivating
The switch is located on the passenger end of
the dashboard and is accessible when the
passenger door is open. Check that the switch
is in the required position. Volvo recommends
that that the ignition key is used to change
position. (Other items with a shape similar to a
key can be used).
WARNING!
If the car is equipped with a front passenger
airbag (SRS), but does not have PACOS, the
airbag will always be activated.

m
WARNING!
Do not allow anyone to sit in the front
passenger seat if the text message in the roof
panel indicates that the airbag (SRS) is
deactivated and the airbag warning symbol is
displayed in the combined instrument panel.
This indicates that there has been a severe
malfunction. Contact an authorised Volvo
workshop as soon as possible.

never children in a child seat or on a booster
cushion.
8803404
OFF = Airbag (SRS) is deactivated. With the
switch in this position, children in a child seat
or on a booster cushion can sit in the front
passenger seat, but never persons taller than
140 cm (4 ft 7).
17
Side airbags
WARNING!
Do not put objects in the area between the
outside of the seat and the door panel, since
this area is required by the side airbag.
WARNING!
Use only Volvo genuine car seat covers, or
seat covers approved by Volvo. Other seat
covers may impede the operation of the side
air bags.
8803041a
Side airbag locations
Side airbags - SIPS bags
A large proportion of the collision force is
transferred by the SIPS (Side Impact Protection
System) to the floor, roof, beams, pillars, and
other structural parts of the body. The side
airbags on the driver’s 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.
18
Inflated side airbag
WARNING!
Side airbags are a supplement to the SIPS
system. Always wear a seatbelt.
WARNING!
Repairs must only be performed by an
authorised Volvo workshop.
Work on the SIPS system can cause
malfunction and result in serious personal
injury.
IMG-2011
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
8803412j
Left-hand drive
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 airbag. The
airbag inflates between the occupant and the
door panel and thereby cushions the initial
impact while deflating. The side airbag is only
normally deployed on the side of the collision.
8803413j
Right-hand drive
19
Inflatable Curtain (IC)
Properties
The inflatable curtain, IC (Inflatable Curtain), is
a supplement to the SIPS system. It is concealed in the 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.
20
8801966e
WARNING!
The inflatable curtain is a supplement to the
seatbelts. Always wear a seatbelt.
8801999d
WARNING!
• 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 fitting in these areas.
• Do not load the car higher than 50 mm
under the top edge of the rear passenger
windows to avoid affecting the protection
of the inflatable curtain in the event of a
side collision.
WHIPS (Whiplash Protection System)
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 possible between
the head and the head restraint.
8504618a
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 rear-end
collision, where the angle and speed of the
collision, and the nature of the colliding vehicle
all have an influence.
WARNING!
The inflatable curtain is a supplement to the
seatbelts. Always wear a 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.
WARNING!
Never modify or repair the seat or WHIPS
system yourself. Contact an authorised Volvo
workshop.

WARNING!
• If a seat has been subjected to extreme
forces, such as due to a rear-end collision,
the WHIPS system must be checked by an
authorised Volvo workshop.
• Part of the WHIPS system’s protective
capacity may have been lost even if the
seats appear to be undamaged. Contact an
authorised Volvo workshop to have the
system checked even after a minor rear-end
collision.
IMG-2041
WARNING!
Do not squeeze rigid objects between the rear
seat cushion and the front seat backrest.
Make sure you do not to obstruct the
function of the WHIPS system.
22
WARNING!
If a rear seat backrest is folded down, the
corresponding front seat must be moved
forward so that it does not touch the folded
backrest.
When are the safety systems activated?
System Triggered
Seatbelt tensioner In the event of a head-on collision and/or overturning.
Airbags SRS In the event of a head-on collision1.
Side airbags In the event of a side impact1.
Inflatable Curtain IC In the event of a side impact or if the car overturns1.
WHIPS In a rear-end collision1.
1. The bodywork of the car could be greatly deformed in a
collision without airbag deployment. A number of factors
such as the rigidity and weight of the object hit, the speed
of the car, the angle of the collision etc. affects how the
different safety systems of the car are activated.
If the airbags have been deployed, the following is recommended:
• Have the car transported to an authorised
Volvo workshop. Do not drive with
deployed airbags.
• Have an authorised Volvo workshop replace
components in the car’s safety systems.
• Always contact a doctor.
NOTE! The SRS, SIPS, IC and belt tensioner
systems are deployed only once during a
collision.
WARNING!
The Airbag control unit is located in the
centre console. If the centre console is
drenched with water or other liquid,
disconnect the battery cables. Do not attempt
to start the car since the airbags may deploy.
Have the car transported to an authorised
Volvo workshop.
WARNING!
Never drive with deployed airbags. They can
make steering difficult. Other safety systems
may also be damaged. The smoke and dust
created when the airbags are deployed can
cause skin and eye irritation after intensive
exposure. In case of irritation, wash with
cold water. The rapid deployment sequence
and airbag fabric may cause friction injury
and burns to the skin.

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 read the 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.
WARNING!
Never place the child seat in the front seat if
the car is equipped with an activated
passenger airbag. If problems arise when
fitting child safety products, contact the
manufacturer for clearer instructions.
