pg. 4 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 m\
eans an everyday involvement
in reducing our environmental impact.
Volvo's environmental activities are based on a holistic view, which mea\
ns 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 chemica\
ls including chloro-
fluorocarbons (CFCs), freons, lead chromates, naphtanates, asbestos, m\
ercury and cadmium; and reduced
the amount 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 heated
oxygen sensor in 1976. The current version of this highly efficient syst\
em reduces emissions of harmful
substances (CO, HC, NOx) from the exhaust pipe by approximately 95% an\
d 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 Vo\
lvo 240. Advanced electronic
engine controls, refined purification systems and cleaner fuels are brin\
ging us closer to our goal.
After Volvo vehicles and parts have fulfilled their use, recycling is th\
e next critical step in completing the
life cycle. The metal content is about 75% of the total weight of a vehi\
cle, which makes the vehicle
among the most recycled industrial products. In order to have efficient \
and well controlled recycling,
many Volvo variants have printed dismantling manuals, indicating the wei\
ght and material of individual
components. For Volvo, all homogeneous plastic parts weighing more than \
1.7 oz. (50 grams) are marked
with international symbols that indicate how the component is to be sort\
ed for recycling.
In addition to continuous environmental refinement of conventional gasol\
ine-powered internal
combustion engines, Volvo is actively looking at advanced technology alt\
ernative-fuel vehicles.
When you drive a Volvo, you become our partner in the work to lessen the\
vehicle'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.
l See an authorized Volvo retailer as soon as possible for inspection if t\
he check engine (malfunction
indicator) lamp 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, use Volvo's own vehicle care products, all o\
f which have systematically
been adapted to the environment.

Important warnings
Accessory Installation
l We strongly recommend that Volvo owners install only genuine, Volvo-appr\
oved accessories, and that
accessory installations be performed only by the factory-trained technic\
ians at your authorized Volvo
retailer.
l Genuine Volvo accessories are tested to ensure compatibility with the pe\
rformance, safety, and
emission systems in your vehicle. Additionally, your authorized Volvo re\
tailer knows where accessories
may and may not be safely installed in your Volvo. In all cases, please \
consult your authorized Volvo
retailer before installing any accessory in or on your vehicle.
l Accessories that have not been approved by Volvo may or may not be speci\
fically tested for
compatibility with your vehicle. Additionally, an inexperienced installe\
r may not be familiar with some of
your vehicle's systems.
l Any of your vehicle's performance and safety systems could be adversely \
affected if you install
accessories that Volvo has not tested, or if you allow accessories to be\
installed by someone unfamiliar
with your vehicle.
l Damage caused by unapproved or improperly installed accessories may not \
be covered by your new
vehicle warranty. See your Warranty and Service Records Information book\
let for more warranty
information. Volvo assumes no responsibility for death, injury, or expen\
ses that may result from the
installation of non-genuine accessories.
Driver Distraction
l 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 man\
y 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 d\
evices for your own
convenience. When used properly and safely, they enrich the driving expe\
rience. Improperly used, any of
these could cause a distraction.
l For all of these systems, we want to provide the following warning that \
reflects the strong Volvo
concern for your safety:
l Never use these devices or any feature of your vehicle in a way that dis\
tracts you from the task of

occupant weight sensor, and inflatable curtains. All of these systems ar\
e monitored by the SRS control
module. An SRS warning light in the instrument panel (see the illustrat\
ion above) illuminates when the
ignition key is turned to position I, II, or III, and will normally go o\
ut after approximately 7 seconds if
no faults are detected in the system.
Where applicable, a text message will also be displayed when the SRS war\
ning light illuminates. If this
warning symbol is not functioning properly, the general warning symbol
illuminates and a text
message will be displayed.
WARNING!
l If the SRS warning light stays on after the engine has started or if it \
illuminates while you are
driving, have the vehicle inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo ser\
vice technician as soon as
possible.
l Never try to repair any component or part of the SRS yourself. Any inter\
ference in the system
could cause malfunction and serious injury. All work on these systems sh\
ould be performed by an
authorized Volvo service technician.
WARNING!
If your vehicle has been subjected to flood conditions (e.g. soaked car\
peting/ standing water on the
floor of the vehicle) or if your vehicle has become flood-damaged in an\
y way, do not attempt to start
the vehicle or put the key in the ignition before disconnecting the batt\
ery (see below). This may cause
airbag deployment which could result in personal injury. Have the vehicl\
e towed to a trained and
qualified Volvo service technician for repairs.
Automatic transmission:
Before attempting to tow the vehicle, use the following procedure to ove\
rride the shiftlock system to
move the gear selector to the neutral position:
l Switch off the ignition for at least 10 minutes and disconnect the batte\
ry.
l Wait at least one minute.
l Insert the key in the ignition and turn it to position II.
l Press firmly on the brake pedal.
l Move the gear selector from (P)ark to the (N)eutral position.
