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.

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
High engine temp
Stop engine or Coolant level low, Stop
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
Transmission hot Reduce
speed or Transmission hot Stop safely- follow the recommendation given and lower the speed and stop the car in a safeway and allow the engine to run at idling

Bonnet - opening and closing
The bonnet can be opened when the handle in the passenger compartment has beenturned clockwise and the lock by the grille hasbeen moved to the left.
The handle for bonnet opening is always on the left-hand side.
Turn the handle about 20-25 degrees clockwise. You will hear when the catchreleases.
Move the catch to the left and open the bonnet. (The catch hook is locatedbetween the headlamp and grille, seeillustration.)
WARNING
Check that the bonnet locks properly when closed.

Engine compartment - checking
Some oils and fluids should be checked at regular intervals.
Regular checkingCheck the following oils and fluids at regularintervals, e.g. when refuelling:
• Coolant
• Engine oil
• Power steering fluid (not cars with 4-cyl. 2.0 litre engine 4
)
• Washer fluid
WARNING
Remember that the radiator fan (located at the front of the engine compartment,behind the radiator) may start automati-cally some after the engine has beenswitched off. Always have the engine cleaned by a workshop. There is a risk of fire if theengine is hot.

texts. Certain variants have both systems. Contact a Volvo dealer for more information. Change the engine oil and oil filter in accord- ance with the intervals specified in the Serv-ice and Warranty Booklet. Using oil of a higher than specified grade is permitted. If the car is driven in adverse con-ditions, Volvo recommends using an oil of ahigher grade; see Engine oil - adverse drivingconditions (p. 395). For filling capacities, see Engine oil - grade and volume (p. 396).

Engine oil - checking and filling
The oil level is checked on certain engine vari- ants with the electronic oil level sensor, onother engine variants with the oil dipstick.
Engine with oil dipstick 5
G021734
Dipstick and filler pipe. Checking the oil level in a new car is espe- cially important before the first scheduled oilchange. Volvo recommends checking the oil level every 2 500 km. The most accurate measure-ments are made on a cold engine before star-ting. The measurement will be inaccurate iftaken immediately after the engine isswitched off. The dipstick will indicate thatthe level is too low because the oil has nothad time to flow down into the oil sump.
G021737
The oil level must be between the
MIN and MAX
marks.
Measurement and filling if required1. Ensure that the car is level. After switch-
ing off the engine it is important to wait 5 minutes to allow the oil time to run backto the sump.
2. Pull up and wipe the dipstick.
3. Re-insert the dipstick.
4. Pull it out and check the level.
5. If the level is close to MIN then 0.5 litres
should be added. If the level is signifi- cantly below, then an additional amountis required.
6. If required, check the level again, do it after driving a short distance. Then repeatsteps 1-4.
