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.
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 the EDR never registers who is driving the vehicle or the location of a crash or a near crash-like situation. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data rou-
tinely 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.
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 some of this information during normal driving conditions, most importantly if they detect a fault relating to the vehicle’s oper­ation and functionality or upon activation of the vehicle’s active safety systems (e.g. City Safety and the auto-brake function). Some of the regis­tered 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. Infor­mation thus registered in the vehicle is registered in the vehicle’s computers until the vehicle is serviced or repaired. In addition to the above, the registered information may – on an aggregated basis – be used for research and product devel­opment purposes in order to continuously improve the safety and quality of Volvo vehicles.

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 gen­uine Volvo car care products. All Volvo car care products are formulated to be environ­mentally friendly.

Twin Engine Plug-in Hybrid vehicles

If possible, precondition the vehicle with the charging cable before driving.
If preconditioning is not possible in cold weather, use the seat and steering wheel heating primarily. Avoid heating the entire passenger compartment, which reduces the hybrid battery's charge level.
Choose the
Pure drive mode to help mini-
mize electric power consumption.
In hilly terrain, put the gear selector in mode B to utilize the electric motor's braking func­tion when the accelerator pedal is released. This helps charge the hybrid battery.

IntelliSafedriver support

IntelliSafe is Volvo's philosophy regarding vehi­cle safety. It encompasses a number of systems, both standard and optional, that are designed to help make driving and traveling in a Volvo safer.

Support

Systems that help make driving safer are an inte­gral part of IntelliSafe. These include optional features such as Adaptive Cruise Control* that helps maintain a set distance to a vehicle ahead, Park Assist Pilot*, which assists in parking the vehicle, Cross Traffic Alert*, Blind Spot Information*, etc.

Accident prevention

Systems such as City Safety are designed to automatically apply the brakes in situations in which the driver does not have time to react. Lane Keeping Aid* alerts the driver if the vehicle inadvertently crosses a lane's/road's side marker line.

Protection

The vehicle is equipped with e.g., seat belt pre­tensioners that pull the seat belts taut in critical situations when there is a collision risk and numerous airbags designed to help provide cush­ioning if certain types of collisions should occur.
