Volvo Cars' environmental philosophy
Your Volvo complies with strict international environmental standards and is also manufac-tured in one of the cleanest and mostresource-efficient plants in the world.
G000000
Environmental care is one of Volvo Car Cor- poration's core values which influence alloperations. We also believe that our custom-ers share our consideration for the environ-ment. Your Volvo complies with strict international environmental standards and is also manu-factured in one of the cleanest and mostresource-efficient plants in the world. VolvoCar Corporation has global ISO certification,which includes the environmental standardISO 14001 covering all factories and severalof our other units. We also set requirements for our partners so that they work systemati-cally with environmental issues.
Fuel consumptionVolvo cars have competitive fuel consump-tion in each of their respective classes. Lowerfuel consumption generally results in loweremission of the greenhouse gas, carbon diox-ide. It is possible for the driver to influence fuel consumption. For more information readunder the heading,
Reducing environmental
impact .
Efficient emission controlYour Volvo is manufactured following theconcept "Clean inside and out" – a conceptthat encompasses a clean interior environ-ment as well as highly efficient emission con-trol. In many cases the exhaust emissions arewell below the applicable standards.
Clean air in the passenger
compartment
A passenger compartment filter prevents dustand pollen from entering the passenger com-partment via the air intake.

20* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
A sophisticated air quality system, IAQS* (Interior Air Quality System) ensures that theincoming air is cleaner than the air in the traf-fic outside. The system consists of an electronic sensor and a carbon filter. The incoming air is moni-tored continuously and if there is an increasein the level of certain unhealthy gases such ascarbon monoxide then the air intake isclosed. Such a situation may arise in heavytraffic, queues and tunnels for example. The entry of nitrous oxides, ground-level ozone and hydrocarbons is prevented by thecarbon filter.
InteriorThe interior of a Volvo is designed to be plea-sant and comfortable, even for people withcontact allergies and for asthma sufferers.Extreme attention has been given to choosingenvironmentally-compatible materials.
Volvo workshops and the environmentRegular maintenance creates the conditionsfor a long service life and low fuel consump-tion for your car. In this way you contribute toa cleaner environment. When Volvo's work-shops are entrusted with the service andmaintenance of your car it becomes part ofour system. Volvo makes clear demandsregarding the way in which our workshopsare designed in order to prevent spills anddischarges into the environment. Our work-shop staff have the knowledge and the tools required to guarantee good environmentalcare.
Reducing environmental impactYou can easily help reduce environmentalimpact - here are a few tips: •
Avoid letting the engine idle - switch off the engine when stationary for longerperiods. Pay attention to local regula-tions.
• Drive economically - think ahead.
• Perform service and maintenance inaccordance with the owner's manual'sinstructions - follow the intervals recom-mended in the Service and WarrantyBooklet.
• If the car is equipped with an engineblock heater*, use it before starting fromcold - it improves starting capacity andreduces wear in cold weather and theengine reaches normal operating tem-perature more quickly, which lowers con-sumption and reduces emissions.
• High speed increases consumption con-siderably due to increased wind resis-tance - a doubling of speed increaseswind resistance 4 times.
• Always dispose of environmentally hazar-dous waste, such as batteries and oils, inan environmentally safe manner. Consulta workshop in the event of uncertaintyabout how this type of waste should bediscarded - an authorised Volvo work-shop is recommended. Following this advice can save money, the planet's resources are saved, and the car'sdurability is extended. For more informationand further advice, see Eco guide (p. 63),Economical driving (p. 305) and Fuel con-sumption (p. 403).
RecyclingAs a part of Volvo's environmental work, it isimportant that the car is recycled in an envi-ronmentally sound manner. Almost all of thecar can be recycled. The last owner of the caris therefore requested to contact a dealer forreferral to a certified/approved recyclingfacility.

116* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Actual temperature
The temperature you select in the passenger compartment corresponds to the physicalexperience with reference to factors such asair speed, humidity and solar radiation etc. inand around the car. The system includes a sun sensor (p. 116) which detects on which side the sun is shin-ing into the passenger compartment. Thismeans that the temperature can differbetween the right and left-hand air ventsdespite the controls being set for the sametemperature on both sides.

Sensors - climate control
The climate control system has a number of sensors to help control the temperature (p.116) in the car.
• The sun sensor is located on the top side of the dashboard.
• The temperature sensor for the passen-ger compartment is located below the cli-mate control panel.
• The outside temperature sensor islocated in the door mirror.
• The humidity sensor* is located by theinterior rearview mirror.
NOTE
Do not cover or block the sensors with clothing or other objects.

Air cleaning - passenger compartment filter
All air entering the car's passenger compart- ment is cleaned with a filter. The filter must be replaced at regular inter- vals. Follow the Volvo Service Programme forthe recommended replacement intervals. Ifthe car is used in a severely contaminatedenvironment, it may be necessary to replacethe filter more often.
NOTE
There are different types of passenger compartment filter. Make sure that the cor-rect filter is fitted.

Air cleaning - Clean Zone Interior Package (CZIP)*
CZIP comprises a series of modifications that keep the passenger compartment evenclearer from allergy and asthma-inducing sub-stances. The following is included: •An enhanced fan function that means that the fan starts when the car is opened withthe remote control key. The fan fills thepassenger compartment with fresh air.The function starts when required and isdisengaged automatically after a time orwhen one of the passenger compartmentdoors is opened.
• The air quality system IAQS (p. 118) is afully automatic system that cleans the airin the passenger compartment from con-taminants such as particles, hydrocar-bons, nitrous oxides and ground-levelozone.
NOTE
To keep the CZIP standard in cars with CZIP the IAQS filter must be changed after15 000 km or once per year depending onwhichever occurs first. However, up to75 000 km over 5 years. In cars withoutCZIP and where the customer does notwant to keep the CZIP standard the IAQSfilter must be changed at a regular service.
For more information on CZIP, see the bro- chure included with the purchase of the car.

Fording
Fording means that the car is driven through a water-covered roadway. Fording must be car-ried out with great caution. The car can be driven through water at a maximum depth of 25 cm at a maximumspeed of 10 km/h. Extra caution should beexercised when passing through flowingwater. During driving in water, maintain a low speed and do not stop the car. When the water hasbeen passed, depress the brake pedal lightlyand check that full brake function is achieved.Water and mud for example can make thebrake linings wet resulting in delayed brakefunction. •Clean the electric contacts of the electric engine block heater and trailer couplingafter driving in water and mud.
• Do not let the car stand with water overthe sills for any long period of time - thiscould cause electrical malfunctions.IMPORTANT
Engine damage can occur if water enters the air filter. In depths greater than 25 cm, water could enter the transmission. This reduces thelubricating ability of the oils and shortensthe service life of these systems. In the event of the engine stalling in water, do not try restart - tow the car from thewater to a workshop - an authorised Volvoworkshop is recommended. Risk of enginebreakdown.

Overheating
Under special conditions, for example hard driving in hilly terrain and hot climate, there isa risk that the engine and drive system mayoverheat - in particular with a heavy load. For information about overheating when driv- ing with a trailer, see Driving with a trailer (p.306). • Remove any auxiliary lamps from in front of the grille when driving in hot climates.
• If the temperature in the engine's coolingsystem is too high then a warning symbolis illuminated in the combined instrumentpanel's information display and a text message
High engine temp Stop safelyis shown there - stop the car in a safe way and allow the engine to run at idlingspeed for several minutes in order to cooldown.
• If the text message

engine is shown then the engine must be
switched off after stopping the car.
• In the event of overheating in the gearbox a built-in protection function is activatedwhich, amongst other things, illuminatesa warning symbol in the combined instru-ment panel, and its display shows the text message

2. Press the START button without
depressing the brake and/or clutch pedal.
3. Wait approx. 1 minute.
4. To start the engine: Depress the brake and/or clutch pedal and then press the START button again.
NOTE
Before filling with fuel in the event of fuel shortage:
• Stop the car on as flat/level ground as possible - if the car is tilting there is arisk of air pockets in the fuel supply.
Draining condensation from the fuel filter
The fuel filter separates condensation from the fuel. Condensation can disrupt engineoperation. The fuel filter must be drained at the intervals specified in the Service and Warranty Bookletor if you suspect that the car has been filledwith contaminated fuel. For more information,see Volvo service programme (p. 340).
IMPORTANT
Certain special additives remove the water separation in the fuel filter.

Catalytic converters
The purpose of the catalytic converters is to purify exhaust gases. They are located closeto the engine so that operating temperature isreached quickly. The catalytic converters consist of a monolith (ceramic or metal) with channels. The channelwalls are lined with a thin layer of platinum/rhodium/palladium. These metals act as cata-lysts, i.e. they participate in and accelerate achemical reaction without being used upthemselves.
Lambda-sond TM
oxygen sensorThe Lambda-sond is part of a control systemintended to reduce emissions and improvefuel economy (see Fuel consumption andCO2 emissions (p. 403)). An oxygen sensor monitors the oxygen con- tent of the exhaust gases leaving the engine.This value is fed into an electronic systemthat continuously controls the injectors. Theratio of fuel to air directed to the engine iscontinuously adjusted. These adjustmentscreate optimal conditions for efficient com-bustion, and together with the three-way cat-alytic converter reduce harmful emissions(hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and nitrousoxides).
