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.

Messages - handling
Use the left-hand stalk switch to acknowledge and browse among messages (p. 101) thatare shown in the information display of thecombined instrument panel. When a warning, information or indicator symbol illuminates, a corresponding messageappears in the display at the same time. Anerror message is stored in a memory list untilthe fault has been rectified. Press
OK on the left-hand stalk switch to
acknowledge a message. Scroll through mes- sages with the thumbwheel (p. 100).
NOTE
If a warning message appears while you are using the trip computer, the messagemust be read (press OK) before the previ-
ous activity can be resumed.

Before a long journey
Before a long journey, it makes good sense to go through the following points: •Check that the engine is working normally and that fuel consumption (p. 403) is nor-mal.
• Make sure that there are no leaks (fuel, oilor other fluid).
• Check all bulbs and tyre tread depths.
• Carrying a warning triangle (p. 329) is alegal requirement in certain countries.

Winter driving
For winter driving it is important to perform certain checks in order to ensure that the carcan be driven safely. Check the following in particular before the cold season:
• The engine coolant (p. 349) must contain at least 50% glycol. This mixture protectsthe engine against frost erosion down toapproximately –35 °C. To achieve opti-mum antifreeze protection, different typesof glycol must not be mixed.
• The fuel tank must be kept filled to pre-vent condensation.
• Engine oil viscosity is important. Oils withlower viscosity (thinner oils) facilitate star-ting in cold weather and also reduce fuelconsumption while the engine is cold. Formore information on suitable oils, seeEngine oil - adverse driving conditions (p.395).
IMPORTANT
Low viscosity oil must not be used for hard driving or in hot weather.
•The condition of the starter battery and charge level must be inspected. Coldweather places great demands on the starter battery and its capacity is reducedby the cold.
• Use washer fluid (p. 361) to avoid iceforming in the washer fluid reservoir.
To achieve optimum roadholding Volvo rec- ommends using winter tyres on all wheels ifthere is a risk of snow or ice.
NOTE
The use of winter tyres is a legal require- ment in certain countries. Studded tyresare not permitted in all countries.
Slippery driving conditionsPractise driving on slippery surfaces under controlled conditions to learn how the carreacts.
