Changing the language in the car's screen
Changing the language in the car's display may
mean that some information does not correspond
to national or local laws and regulations. Don't
change to a language that's difficult to understand, it may then be difficult to find your way
back in the structure on the screen.
IMPORTANT
The driver is always responsible that the vehicle is driven safely in traffic and that applicable laws and regulations are followed. It is
also important that the car is maintained and
handled in accordance with Volvo's recommendations in the owner's information.
If there should be a difference between the
information in the screen and the printed
information then it is always the printed information that applies.

Reading the owner's manual
A good way of getting to know your new car is
to read the owner's manual, ideally before your
first journey.
Reading the owner's manual is a good way to
become familiar with new functions, get advice
on how best to handle the car in different situations and learn how to make the best use of all
the car's features. Please pay attention to the
safety instructions contained in the owner's manual.
Development work is constantly in progress to
improve our product. Modifications may mean
that information, descriptions and illustrations in
the owner's manual differ from the equipment in
the car. We reserve the right to make modifications without prior notice.

Recording data
As part of Volvo's safety and quality assurance,
certain information about the vehicle's operation,
functionality and incidents are recorded in the
car.
This vehicle is equipped with an "Event Data
Recorder" (EDR). Its primary purpose is to register and record data related to traffic accidents or
collision-like situations, such as times when the
airbag deploys or the vehicle strikes an obstacle
in the road. The data is recorded in order to
increase understanding of how vehicle systems
work in these types of situations. The EDR is
designed to record data related to vehicle
dynamics and safety systems for a short time,
usually 30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record
data related to the following in the event of traffic
accidents or collision-like situations:
•
How the various systems in the car worked
•
Whether the driver and passenger seatbelts
were fastened/tensioned
•
The driver's use of the accelerator or brake
pedal
•
The travel speed of the vehicle
This information can help us better understand
the circumstances in which traffic accidents, injuries and damage occur. The EDR only records
data when a non-trivial collision situation occurs.
The EDR does not record any data during normal
driving conditions. Similarly, the system never
registers who is driving the vehicle or the geographic location of the accident or near-miss situation. However, other parties, such as the police,
could use the recorded data in combination with
the type of personally identifiable information
routinely collected after a traffic accident. Special
equipment and access to either the vehicle or the
EDR is required to be able to interpret the registered data.
In addition to the EDR, the car is equipped with a
number of computers designed to continually
check and monitor the function of the car. They
can record data during normal driving conditions,
but in particular register faults affecting the vehicle's operation and functionality, or upon activation of the vehicle's active driver support function
(e.g. City Safety and the auto brake function).
Some of the recorded data is required to enable
service and maintenance technicians to diagnose
and remedy any faults that occurred in the vehicle. The registered information is also needed to
enable Volvo to satisfy legal requirements laid out
in laws and by government authorities. Information registered in the vehicle is stored in its computer until the vehicle is serviced or repaired.
In addition to the above, the registered information can be used in aggregate form for research
and product development with the aim of continuously improving the safety and quality of Volvo
cars.
Volvo will not contribute to the above-described
information being disclosed to third parties without the vehicle owner's consent. To comply with
national legislation and regulations, Volvo may be
forced to disclose information of this nature to
the police or other authorities who may assert a
legal right to access such. Special technical
equipment which Volvo and workshops that have
entered into agreements with Volvo have access
to is required to be able to read and interpret the
recorded data. Volvo is responsible that the information, which is transferred to Volvo during servicing and maintenance, is stored and handled in a
secure manner and that the handling complies
with applicable legal requirements. For further
information - contact a Volvo dealer.

Accessories and extra equipment
The incorrect connection and installation of
accessories and extra equipment can negatively
affect the car's electronic system.
Certain accessories only function when associated software is installed in the car's computer
system. Volvo therefore recommends that you
always contact an authorised Volvo workshop
before installing accessories or extra equipment
which are connected to or affect the electrical
system.
Heat-reflecting windscreen*
The windscreen is equipped with a heat-reflecting film (IR) that reduces the solar heat radiation
into the passenger compartment.
The positioning of electronic equipment, such as
a transponder, behind a glass surface with heatreflecting film may affect its function and performance.
For the optimal function of electronic equipment,
it should be positioned on the part of the windscreen with no heat-reflecting film (see the highlighted area in the illustration).
Areas where IR film is not applied.

Environmental philosophy
Volvo Car Corporation is constantly working on
the development of safer and more efficient
products and solutions in order to reduce the
negative impact on the environment.
Environmental care is one of Volvo Cars’ core values and influences all operations. The environmental work is based on the whole life cycle of
the car and takes into account the environmental
impact it has, from design to scrapping and recycling. Volvo Cars' basic principle is that every new
product developed must have less impact on the
environment than the product it replaces.
Volvo's environmental management work has
resulted in the development of the more efficient
and less polluting Drive-E drivelines. The personal
environment is also important to Volvo - the air
inside a Volvo is, for example, cleaner than the air
outside thanks to the climate control system.
Your Volvo complies with stringent international
environmental standards. All Volvo's manufacturing units must be ISO 14001 certified, and this
supports a systematic approach to the operation's environmental issues, which leads to continuous improvement with reduced environmental
impact. Holding the ISO certificate also means
that environmental laws and regulations in force
are complied with. Volvo also requires that its
partners must also meet these requirements.
Fuel consumption
Since a large part of a car's total environmental
impact stems from its use, the emphasis of Volvo
Cars' environmental work is on reducing fuel consumption, carbon dioxide emissions and other air
pollutants. Volvo cars have competitive fuel consumption in each of their respective classes.
Lower fuel consumption generally results in lower
emission of the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide.

Contributing to a better environment
An energy-efficient and fuel-efficient car not only
contributes to a reduced impact on the environment, but also means reduced costs for the
owner of the car. As the driver, it is easy to
reduce fuel consumption and thereby save
money and contribute to a better environment here is some advice:
•
Plan for an effective average speed. Speeds
above approx. 80 km/h (50 mph) and below
50 km/h (30 mph) lead to increased energy
consumption.
•
Follow the Service and Warranty Booklet's
recommended intervals for service and maintenance of the car.
•
Avoid letting the engine idle - switch off the
engine when stationary for longer periods.
Pay attention to local regulations.
•
Plan the journey - a lot of unnecessary stops
and uneven speed contribute to increased
fuel consumption.
•
If the car is equipped with an engine block
heater*, use it before starting from cold - it
improves starting capacity and reduces wear
in cold weather and the engine reaches normal operating temperature more quickly,
which lowers consumption and reduces
emissions.
Also remember to always dispose of environmentally hazardous waste, such as batteries and oil, in
an environmentally safe manner. Consult a work-
shop in the event of uncertainty about how this
type of waste should be discarded - an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.
Following this advice can save money, the planet's resources are saved, and the car's durability
is extended. For more information and further
advice, see Eco guide (p. 70), Economical driving (p. 300) and Fuel consumption (p. 397).
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. In many cases
the exhaust emissions are well below the applicable standards.
Clean air in the passenger compartment
A passenger compartment filter prevents dust
and pollen from entering the passenger compartment via the air intake.
The Interior Air Quality System (IAQS)* ensures
that the incoming air is cleaner than the air in the
traffic outside.
The system cleans the air in the passenger compartment from contaminants such as particles,
hydrocarbons, nitrous oxides and ground-level
ozone. If the outside air is contaminated then the
air intake is closed and the air is recirculated.
Such a situation may arise in heavy traffic,
queues and tunnels for example.
IAQS is a part of the Clean Zone Interior Package (CZIP)*, which also includes a function that
allows the fan to start when the car is unlocked
with the remote control key.
Interior
The material used in the interior of a Volvo is
carefully selected and has been tested in order to
be pleasant and comfortable. Some of the details
are hand-made, such as the seams of the steering wheel that are sewn by hand. The interior is
monitored in order not to emit strong odours or
substances that cause discomfort in the event of
e.g. high heat and bright light.
Volvo workshops and the environment
Regular maintenance creates the conditions for a
long service life and low fuel consumption for
your car. In this way you also contribute to a
cleaner environment. When Volvo's workshops
are entrusted with the service and maintenance
of your car it becomes part of Volvo's system.
Volvo makes clear demands regarding the way in
which workshop premises shall be designed in
order to prevent spills and discharges into the
environment. The workshop staff have the knowledge and the tools required to guarantee good
environmental care.
Recycling
Since Volvo works from a life cycle perspective, it
is also important that the car is recycled in an
environmentally sound manner. Almost all of the
car can be recycled. The last owner of the car is

General information on seatbelts
Heavy braking can have serious consequences
if the seatbelts are not used. Ensure that all passengers are using their seatbelts during the journey.
Tension the hip strap over the lap by pulling the diagonal
shoulder belt up towards the shoulder. The hip strap
must be positioned low down (not over the abdomen).
It is important that the seatbelt 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.
Unbelted occupants will be reminded to fasten
their (p. 29) seatbelt by means of an audio and
visual reminder (p. 31).
Remember
•
Do not use clips or anything else that can
prevent the seatbelt from fitting properly.
•
The seatbelt must not be twisted or caught
on anything.
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.
WARNING
Each seatbelt is designed for only one person.
WARNING
Never modify or repair the seatbelts yourself.
Volvo recommends that you contact an
authorised Volvo workshop.
If the seatbelt has been subjected to a major
load, such as in conjunction with a collision,
the entire seatbelt must be replaced. Some of
the seatbelt's protective properties may have
been lost even if the seatbelt does not appear
damaged. The seatbelt must also be replaced
if it shows signs of wear or damage. The new
seatbelt must be type-approved and designed
for installation at the same location as the
replaced seatbelt.
