Volvo Cars and the environment
Volvo Car Corporation’s environmental phil osophy
Environmental care, safety and quality are the
three core values which influence all operations of the Volvo Car Corporation. We also
believe that our customers share our consid
eration for the environment.
Your Volvo complies with strict international
environmental standards and is also
manufactured in one of the cleanest and most
resource-efficient plants in the world. Volvo
Car Corporation has global certification to
the ISO 14001 environmental standard.

Fuel consumption
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.
It is possible for the driver to influence fuel
consumption. For more information read
under the heading Reducing environ-
mental impact on page 4.
Efficient emission control
Your Volvo is manufactured following the
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.
In addition there is a special radiator coating,
PremAir®

the ozone passes the radiator. The higher the
ozone content in the air the more ozone is
converted.

Clean air in the passenger
compartment
A passenger compartment filter prevents
dust and pollen from entering the passenger
compartment via the air intake.
A sophisticated air quality system, IAQS1
(Interior Air Quality System) ensures that the
incoming air is cleaner than the air in the
traffic outside.
The system consists of an electronic sensor
and a carbon filter. The incoming air is
monitored continuously and if there is an
increase in the level of certain unhealthy
gases such as carbon monoxide then the air
intake is closed. Such a situation may arise in
heavy traffic, queues and tunnels for example.
The entry of nitrous oxides, ground-level
ozone and hydrocarbons is prevented by the
carbon filter.
Textile standard
The interior of a Volvo is designed to be
pleasant and comfortable, even for people
with contact allergies and for asthma
sufferers. All of our upholstery and interior
textiles are tested with respect to certain
unhealthy substances and allergens as well
as emissions. This means that all textiles fulfil

the requirements in the Öko-Tex 100
standard

Öko-Tex certification covers seatbelts,
carpets, thread and fabrics for example. The
leather in the upholstery undergoes
chromium-free tanning with natural plant
substances and fulfils the certification
requirements.

Volvo workshops and the environment
Regular maintenance creates the conditions
for a long service life for the car with low fuel
consumption, and this way you contribute to
a cleaner environment. When Volvo’s
workshops are entrusted with the repair and
maintenance of the car, it becomes part of
our system. We make clear demands
regarding the way in which our workshops
are designed in order to prevent spills and
discharges into the environment. Our
workshop staff have the knowledge and the
tools required to guarantee good environ
mental care.

Reducing environmental impact
You can help reduce environmental impact,
for example, by driving economically, 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:
• Decrease fuel consumption by choosing
ECO tyre pressure, see page 155.
• Since a roof load 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 and avoid braking too hard.
Page 6
Volvo Cars and the environment
• Drive in the highest gear
possible. Low engine
speeds result in lower
fuel consumption.
• Ease back on the accelerator on downhill
gradients.
• Use engine braking to slow down.
• Avoid idling. Take consideration of local
regulations. Switch off the engine in
longer stationary traffic.
• Always dispose of
environmentally
hazardous waste, such
as batteries and oils, in
an environmentally safe
manner. If uncertain,
consult an 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 seatbelts are not used. Ensure
that all passengers use their seatbelts.
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.
Taking off a seatbelt:
– 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 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.
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!
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.
10
WARNING!
Each belt is intended for one person only.
Page 12
Seatbelts
Seatbelt reminder
The seatbelt warning symbol in the combined
instrument panel and above the rearview
mirror illuminates until the driver and front
seat passenger buckle their seatbelts. The
seatbelt reminder switches off after
seconds if speed is below 10 km/h. If the
6
driver or front seat passenger have not
buckled their seatbelts, the reminder
switches on if speed exceeds 10
switches off if speed drops below 5 km/h.
If the seatbelt is released, the function reactivates when speed exceeds 10 km/h.
NOTE! The seatbelt reminder is intended for
an adult sitting in the front seat. If a belt-fitted
km/h and
child seat is fitted in the front seat, the
seatbelt reminder does not switch on.
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
abdomen. The lap section should lay flat over
the thighs and as low as possible under the
abdomen. 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
abdomen and the steering wheel.
Safety
Seatbelts and pregnancy.
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.

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 fitted 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.
Airbag (SRS) on the passenger side
The car has an SRS airbag (Supplemental
Restraint System) to supplement the
protection afforded by the seatbelt. The
passenger airbag1 is fitted behind a panel
above the glovebox. This panel is marked
SRS AIRBAG.
1. Not all cars have a passenger airbag
(SRS). This can be unselected when
the car is ordered.
Safety
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.
WARNING!
Never place a child in a child seat or on a
booster cushion in the front seat if the
airbag (SRS) is activated1.
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.

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 system consists of airbags and sensors.
A sufficiently violent collision trips the
sensors and the airbag(s) is/are inflated 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
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.
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.

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 side
airbags are located in the front seat
backrests.
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.
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.
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.

Driver’s side
SIPS bags
The SIPS bag system consists of side
airbags and sensors. A sufficiently violent
collision trips the sensors and the side
airbags are inflated. The airbag inflates
between the occupant and the door panel
and thereby cushions the initial impact while
deflating. The side airbag is normally only
deployed on the side of the collision.

Inflatable Curtain (IC)
Properties
The inflatable curtain, IC (Inflatable Curtain),
is a supplement to the SIPS system. It is fitted
in the headlining along both sides of the roof
and protects both front and rear seat
passengers. The inflatable curtain is
activated by sensors in the event of a suffi
ciently violent collision and 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.

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 placement in these
areas.
WARNING!
Do not load the car higher than 50 mm
under the top edge of the side windows.
Otherwise, the intended protection of the
inflatable curtain, which is concealed in
the headlining, may be compromised.
WARNING!
The inflatable curtain is a supplement to
the seatbelts.
Always use a seatbelt.
Page 22
WHIPS
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.
WARNING!
The WHIPS system is a supplement to 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.
WARNING!
Never modify or repair the seat or WHIPS
system yourself. Contact an authorised
Volvo workshop.
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.

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.
• Let an authorised Volvo workshop replace
components in the car’s safety system.
• Always contact a doctor.
NOTE! The SRS, SIPS, IC and belt tensioner

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

Child safety
Fitting a child seat
Volvo has child safety products that are
designed for and tested by Volvo.
WARNING!
Booster cushions/child seats with steel
braces or some other design that could
rest on the seatbelt buckle’s opening
button must not be used, as they could
cause the seatbelt buckle to open
accidentally.
Do not allow the upper section of the child
seat to rest against the windscreen.
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 activated1
front passenger airbag. If problems arise
when fitting child safety products, contact
the manufacturer for clearer instructions.
1. For information on activated/deactivated
airbag (SRS) see page 17.
ISOFIX fixture system for child seats (option)
The outer rear seats have ISOFIX attachment
points for child seats. Contact a Volvo dealer
for further information on child safety
equipment.

kg.
WARNING!
If your car is fitted with an extra seat then
the tailgate must be equipped with a lock
cylinder. Unlocking from the outside can
now take place in the normal way (key in
driver’s door and/or with the remote
control) as well as by using the key in the
tailgate lock cylinder.
The child safety locks in the tailgate must
be activated, in order to prevent a child
accidentally opening the tailgate from the
inside.
WARNING!
When the extra seat is being used, both of
the rear seat backrests must be in the
raised position, the safety net removed,
and the child safety lock open. This is to
enable the child to leave the car in the
event of an accident.
If your car is fitted with a steel mesh then,
without exception, this must be removed
before the extra seat is used.
If you must take the cargo area cover along
on a trip while using the extra seat in the
cargo area, proceed as follows:
– Fold both backrests of the backseat into a
more upright position (see page 91).
– Carefully position the detached cargo
area cover between the rear seat
backrests and the extra seat. Fold up the
extra seat’s head restraint.

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
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.
Ventilation fan function
When the engine is off (and if the ignition key

Cars with ECC
Actual temperature
The temperature you select corresponds to
the physical experience with reference to air
speed, humidity, exposure to sun, etc. which
affect the interior and exterior of the car.
Sensors
The sun sensor is on the upper portion of the
dashboard. Remember not to cover it. Do not
cover the passenger compartment temperature sensor on the climate control panel.
Side windows and sunroof
To ensure that the air conditioning works
satisfactorily, close all side windows and the
sunroof (if fitted). Also, make sure the air
ducts in the parcel shelf are not blocked.
Acceleration
The air conditioning system switches off
temporarily at full acceleration. You may feel
a temporary rise in temperature.
Condensation
In warm weather, condensation from the air
conditioning system may drip under the car.
This is normal.
Fuel economy
With ECC, the air conditioning system is
controlled automatically and is used just
enough to cool the passenger compartment
and dehumidify the incoming air. This
provides better fuel economy compared to
conventional systems where the air condi
tioning cools the air to just above freezing
point.

This is most easily done by:
• pressing the READ button or
• activating main beam or
• turning on the ignition.
The parking heater can be started immedi-
ately or set with two different start times
using TIMER 1 and TIMER 2. Start time
refers to the time the car should be heated
and ready.
The car’s electronic system calculates when
heating should be started based on the
outside temperature. If the outside temper
ature exceeds 25 °C, the heater does not
switch on. At temperatures from −10 °C and

Cargo area
General
Payload depends on the car’s total kerb
weight, including any accessories that are
mounted. Kerb weight includes the driver, the
weight of the fuel tank when filled to 90
and various fluids, such as washer fluid and
coolant. Mounted accessories, i.e. towbar,
load carrier, space box, etc., are included in
the kerb weight.
The payload capacity of the car is reduced by
the number of passengers and their weight.
WARNING!
The driving characteristics of the car
change based on its kerb weight and how
heavily it is loaded.
Loading the cargo area
The seatbelts and airbags provide the driver
and passengers substantial protection,
especially in head-on collisions. However,
you must also remember to protect yourself
against injuries from behind. When loading
cargo, bear in mind that improperly secured
or incorrectly loaded objects in the cargo
area could be thrown forward with great
speed and force in the event of a collision or
sudden braking, causing serious injuries.
NOTE! Bear in mind that if an object
weighing 20 kg is subjected to a head-on
collision at a speed of 50 km/h, its impact
weight will be 1000 kg.
94
%
Think about the following when loading:
• Place the load by the backrest.
• Position heavy loads as low as possible.
• Position wide loads on each side of the
division in the backrest.
• Secure the load with retaining straps
using the car’s lashing eyes.
• Never load above the backrest without a
load net.
• When the rear seat backrest is folded
down, do not load objects higher than
50 mm from the top edge of the rear
passenger door windows. Otherwise, the
protection offered by the inflatable curtain
hidden inside the headlining will be
compromised.
WARNING!
Do not load extremely heavy objects up by
the front seats. The lowered backrest will
be pressed down unnecessarily hard.
Never load cargo above the backrests! If
you do so, the load could be thrown
forward in the event of sudden braking or
a collision and severely injure you or your
passengers. Remember to always secure
(bind) the load properly.
