Recording data
Certain information about the vehicle's opera- tion and functionality, and any incidents, arerecorded in the car. Your vehicle contains a number of computers whose function is to continuously check andmonitor the vehicle's operation and function-ality. Some of the computers can recordinformation during normal driving if theydetect an error. In addition, information isrecorded in the event of a collision or inci-dent. Parts of the recorded information arerequired so that technicians can diagnoseand rectify faults in the vehicle during servic-ing and maintenance and so that Volvo canfulfil legal requirements and other regulations.In addition to this, the information is used forresearch purposes by Volvo in order to con-tinually develop quality and safety, as theinformation can contribute to a better under-standing of the factors that cause accidentsand injuries. The information includes detailsof the status and functionality of various sys-tems and modules in the vehicle with regardto engine, throttle, steering and brake sys-tems, amongst other things. This informationmay include details regarding the way thedriver drives the vehicle, such as vehiclespeed, brake and accelerator pedal use,steering wheel movement and whether or notthe driver and passengers have used theirseatbelts. For the reasons given this informa-tion may be stored in the vehicle's computers for a certain length of time, but also as aresult of a collision or incident. This informa-tion may be stored by Volvo as long as it canhelp to further develop and further enhancesafety and quality and as long as there arelegal requirements and other regulations thatVolvo needs to consider. Volvo will not contribute to the above-descri- bed information being disclosed to third par-ties without the vehicle owner's consent.However, due to national legislation and reg-ulations Volvo may be required to disclosesuch information to authorities such as policeauthorities, or others who may assert a legalright to have access to it. To be able to read and interpret the informa- tion recorded by the computers in the vehiclerequires special technical equipment thatVolvo, and workshops that have entered intoagreements with Volvo, have access to. Volvois responsible that the information, which istransferred to Volvo during servicing andmaintenance, is stored and handled in asecure manner and that the handling com-plies with applicable legal requirements. Forfurther information - contact a Volvo dealer.

Accessories and extra equipment
The incorrect connection and installation of accessories and extra equipment can nega-tively affect the car's electronic system. Certain accessories only function when asso- ciated software is installed in the car's com-puter system. Volvo therefore recommendsthat you always contact an authorised Volvoworkshop before installing accessories orextra equipment which are connected to oraffect the electrical system.
Heat-reflecting windscreen*
Areas where IR film is not applied.
Dimensions
A40 mm
B80 mm
The windscreen is equipped with a heat- reflecting film (IR) that reduces the solar heatradiation into the passenger compartment. The positioning of electronic equipment, such as a transponder, behind a glass surface withheat-reflecting film may affect its function andperformance. For the optimal function of electronic equip- ment, it should be positioned on the part ofthe windscreen with no heat-reflecting film(see the highlighted area in the above illustra-tion).Change of ownership for cars with Volvo On Call*
If the car is equipped with Volvo On Call, VOC it is important to change the owner of theservice. VOC is a supplemental service that consists of safety, security and comfort services. Inthe event of change of ownership it is impor-tant to change the owner of the service.
Closing the VOC serviceContact a Volvo dealer in the event of changeof ownership in order to close the VOC serv-ice. In the event of change of ownership it is important to reset personal settings in the car to the original factory settings 2

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.

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.
