Volvo and the environment
Volvo is committed to the well-being of its customers. As a natural part of this commitment, we
care about the environment in which we all live.
Concern for the environment means an everyday
involvement in reducing our environmental
impact.
Volvo's environmental activities are based on a
holistic view, which means we consider the overall environmental impact of a product throughout
its complete life cycle. In this context, design, production, product use, and recycling are all important considerations. In production, Volvo has
partly or completely phased out several chemicals
including CFCs, lead chromates, asbestos, and
cadmium; and reduced the number of chemicals
used in our plants 50% since 1991.
Volvo was the first in the world to introduce into
production a three-way catalytic converter with a
Lambda sond, now called the heated oxygen sensor, in 1976. The current version of this highly
efficient system reduces emissions of harmful
substances (CO, HC, NOx) from the exhaust pipe
by approximately 95 – 99% and the search to
eliminate the remaining emissions continues.
Volvo is the only automobile manufacturer to
offer CFC-free retrofit kits for the air conditioning
system of all models as far back as the 1975
model 240. Advanced electronic engine controls
and cleaner fuels are bringing us closer to our
goal. In addition to continuous environmental
refinement of conventional gasoline-powered
internal combustion engines, Volvo is actively
looking at advanced technology alternative-fuel
vehicles.
When you drive a Volvo, you become our partner
in the work to lessen the car's impact on the
environment. To reduce your vehicle's environmental impact, you can:
Maintain proper air pressure in your tires.
•
Tests have shown decreased fuel economy
with improperly inflated tires.
Follow the recommended maintenance
•
schedule in your Warranty and Service
Records Information booklet.
Drive at a constant speed whenever possible.
•
See a trained and qualified Volvo service
•
technician as soon as possible for inspection
if the check engine (malfunction indicator)
light illuminates, or stays on after the vehicle
has started.
Properly dispose of any vehicle-related waste
•
such as used motor oil, used batteries, brake
pads, etc.
When cleaning your vehicle, please use gen-
•
uine Volvo car care products. All Volvo car
care products are formulated to be environmentally friendly.

INTRODUCTION
Driver distraction
Please keep the following warnings in mind
when operating/servicing your vehicle.
A driver has a responsibility to do everything possible to ensure his or her own safety and the
safety of passengers in the vehicle and others
sharing the roadway. Avoiding distractions is part
of that responsibility.
Driver distraction results from driver activities that
are not directly related to controlling the vehicle
in the driving environment. Your new Volvo is, or
can be, equipped with many feature-rich entertainment and communication systems. These
include hands-free cellular telephones, navigation
systems, and multipurpose audio systems. You
may also own other portable electronic devices
for your own convenience. When used properly
and safely, they enrich the driving experience.
Improperly used, any of these could cause a distraction.
For all of these systems, we want to provide the
following warning that reflects the strong Volvo
concern for your safety. Never use these devices
or any feature of your vehicle in a way that distracts you from the task of driving safely. Distraction can lead to a serious accident. In addition to
this general warning, we offer the following guidance regarding specific newer features that may
be found in your vehicle:
WARNING
Never use a hand-held cellular telephone
•
while driving. Some jurisdictions prohibit
cellular telephone use by a driver while
the vehicle is moving.
If your vehicle is equipped with a naviga-
•
tion system, set and make changes to
your travel itinerary only with the vehicle
parked.
Never program your audio system while
•
the vehicle is moving. Program radio presets with the vehicle parked, and use your
programmed presets to make radio use
quicker and simpler.
Never use portable computers or per-
•
sonal digital assistants while the vehicle
is moving.
Accessory installation
We strongly recommend that Volvo owners
•
install only genuine, Volvo-approved accessories, and that accessory installations be
performed only by a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician.
Genuine Volvo accessories are tested to
•
ensure compatibility with the performance,
safety, and emission systems in your vehicle.
Additionally, a trained and qualified Volvo
service technician knows where accessories
may and may not be safely installed in your
Volvo. In all cases, please consult a trained
and qualified Volvo service technician before
installing any accessory in or on your vehicle.

It is also essential to maintain and service the
vehicle according to Volvo's recommendations
as stated in the owner's information and the
service and warranty booklet.

Volvo Structural Parts Statement (p. 25)

Volvo Structural Parts Statement
Volvo has always been and continues to be a
leader in automotive safety.
Volvo engineers and manufactures vehicles
designed to help protect vehicle occupants in the
event of a collision.
Volvos are designed to absorb the impact of a
collision. This energy absorption system including,
but not limited to, structural components such as
bumper reinforcement bars, bumper energy
absorbers, frames, rails, fender aprons, A-pillars,
B-pillars and body panels must work together to
maintain cabin integrity and protect the vehicle
occupants.
The supplemental restraint system including but
not limited to air bags, side curtain air bags, and
deployment sensors work together with the
above components to provide proper timing for
air bag deployment.
Due to the above, Volvo Cars of North America
does not support the use of aftermarket, alternative or anything other than original Volvo parts for
collision repair.
In addition Volvo does not support the use or reuse of structural components from an existing
vehicle that has been previously damaged.
Although these parts may appear equivalent, it is
difficult to tell if the parts have been previously
replaced with non-OE parts or if the part has
been damaged as a result of a prior collision. The
quality of these used parts may also have been
affected due to environmental exposure.

INTRODUCTION
Crash event data
This vehicle is equipped with an event data
recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is
to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag deployment or hitting
a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a vehicle's systems performed.
The EDR is designed to record data related to
vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short
period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The
EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such
data as:
How various systems in your vehicle were
•
operating;
Whether or not the driver and passenger
•
safety belts were buckled/fastened;
How far (if at all) the driver was depressing
•
the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
How fast the vehicle was traveling.
•
These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which crashes and
injuries occur.
NOTE
EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if
a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data
are recorded by the EDR under normal driving
conditions and no personal data (e.g., name,
gender and age) are recorded. However,
other parties, such as law enforcement, could
combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehicle or the
EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law enforcement,
that have the special equipment, can read the
information if they have access to the vehicle or
the EDR.
Furthermore, your vehicle is equipped with a
number of computers whose task is to continuously control and monitor the vehicle’s operation.
They can also register information during normal
driving conditions if they detect a fault relating to
the vehicle’s operation and functionality. Some of
the stored information is required by technicians
when carrying out service and maintenance to
enable them to diagnose and rectify any faults
that have occurred in the vehicle and to enable
Volvo to fulfill legal and other regulatory requirements. This information may be stored in the
vehicle’s computers for a certain period of time.
Volvo will not contribute to spreading the abovementioned information to third parties without the
consent of the vehicle’s owner. However, due to
national legal requirements and regulations,
Volvo may be compelled to provide information of
this type to authorities such as law enforcement
agencies or others who may assert a legal right
to obtain such information.
Volvo and service and repair facilities with agreements with Volvo have access to the special
technical equipment required in order to read and
interpret the information stored by the vehicle’s
computers. Volvo is responsible for ensuring that
the information transmitted to Volvo during service and maintenance is stored and handled in a
secure manner and that this handling is done in
accordance with applicable legal requirements.
