7 Introduction
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. Caring for the environment means an everyday involvement in re\
ducing our environmental impact. Volvo's environmental
activities are based on a holistic view, which means we consider the ove\
rall environmental impact of a product throughout its complete
life cycle. In this context, design, production, product use, and recycl\
ing are all important considerations. In production, Volvo has partly
or completely phased out several chemicals including CFCs, lead chromate\
s, 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-wa\
y catalytic converter with a Lambda sond, now called the heated
oxygen sensor, in 1976. The current version of this highly efficient sys\
tem 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 sy\
stem of all models as far back as the 1975 model 240. Advanced
electronic engine controls and cleaner fuels are bringing us closer to o\
ur goal. After Volvo vehicles and parts have fulfilled their use,
recycling is the next critical step in completing the life cycle. The me\
tal content is about 75% of the total weight of a vehicle, which makes
the vehicle among the most recycled industrial products. In order to hav\
e efficient and well controlled recycling, all Volvo variants have
printed dismantling manuals, indicating the weight and material of indiv\
idual components. For Volvo, all homogeneous plastic parts
weighing more than 3.4 oz. (100 grams) are marked with international s\
ymbols that indicate how the component is to be sorted for
recycling. In addition to continuous environmental refinement of convent\
ional 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:
l Maintain proper air pressure in your tires. Tests have shown decreased f\
uel economy with improperly inflated tires.
l Follow the recommended maintenance schedule in your Warranty and Service\
Records Information booklet.
l Drive at a constant speed whenever possible.
l 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.
l Properly dispose of any vehicle-related waste such as used motor oil, us\
ed batteries, brake pads, etc.
l When cleaning your vehicle, please use genuine Volvo car care products. \
All Volvo car care products are formulated to be
environmentally friendly.

NOTE
Warning messages from the car's monitoring systems will override the tri\
p computer
function.
If a warning message is shown in the information display while you are u\
sing the trip computer:
1. You must acknowledge the message by pressing the READ button (A).
2. Press button A again to return to the trip computer function.
Controls
The trip computer functions can be accessed by twisting INFO (B) one s\
tep at a time in either direction. Twisting a
final time returns you to the original function.
The trip computer can be reset (average fuel consumption and average sp\
eed will be erased from system memory) by
pressing RESET (C) for at least five seconds.
MILES TO EMPTY TANK
This function shows the approximate distance that can be driven on the f\
uel remaining in the tank. This calculation is
based on average fuel consumption during the last 20 miles (30 km) of \
driving and the amount of fuel remaining in
the tank when the reading was taken. When the driving distance on curren\
t fuel reserve is less than 12 miles (20 km),
"----" will be displayed in the information display.
AVERAGE
This value indicates fuel consumption since the last time the trip compu\
ter was reset (by pressing RESET, button C).
When the engine is switched off, information on fuel consumption is stor\
ed and remains in system memory until the
RESET (button C) is pressed again.
INSTANTANEOUS
This value indicates the current fuel consumption, based on readings tak\
en once per second. When the car is not
moving, "----" will be displayed.
AVERAGE SPEED
This value indicates average speed since the last time the trip computer\
was reset (by pressing RESET, button C).
When the engine is switched off, information on average speed is stored \
and remains in system memory until the
RESET (button C) is pressed again.

Electrical system
Three-way catalytic converter - general information
l Keep your engine properly tuned. Certain engine malfunctions, particular\
ly involving the electrical, fuel or
distributor ignition systems, may cause unusually high three-way catalyt\
ic converter temperatures. Do not continue to
operate your vehicle if you detect engine misfire, noticeable loss of po\
wer or other unusual operating conditions,
such as engine overheating or backfiring. A properly tuned engine will h\
elp avoid malfunctions that could damage
the three-way catalytic converter.
l Do not park your vehicle over combustible materials, such as grass or le\
aves, which can come into contact with the
hot exhaust system and cause such materials to ignite under certain wind\
and weather conditions.
l Excessive starter cranking (in excess of one minute), or an intermitte\
ntly firing or flooded engine can cause three-
way catalytic converter or exhaust system overheating.
l Remember that tampering or unauthorized modifications to the engine, the\
Electronic Control Module, or the
vehicle may be illegal and can cause three-way catalytic converter or ex\
haust system overheating.
This includes:
- Altering fuel injection settings or components.
- Altering emission system components or location or removing components\
.
- Repeated use of leaded fuel.
