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
, see Change
of ownership.
Starting the VOC serviceIt is very important that the VOC service changes owner so that the previous owner'sability to use services in the car is stopped.Contact a Volvo dealer in the event of achange of ownership.

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.

Safety mode - attempting to start the car
If the car is set in safety mode (p. 37) then an attempt to start the car can be made if every-thing seems normal and the absence of fuelleakage has been checked. First, check that no fuel is leaking from the car. There must be no smell of fuel either. If everything seems normal and you have checked for indications of fuel leakage, youmay attempt to start the car. Remove the remote control key and open the driver's door. If a message is now shown tothe effect that the ignition is on, press thestart button. Then close the door and reinsertthe remote control key. The car's electronicswill now try to reset themselves to normalmode. Then try to start the car. If the message
Safety mode See manual is
still shown on the display then the car must not be driven or towed but a vehicle recoveryservice (p. 316) used instead. Even if the carappears to be driveable, hidden damage maymake the car impossible to control once mov-ing.
WARNING
Never, under any circumstances, attempt to restart the car if it smells of fuel when the
Safety mode See manual message
is displayed. Leave the car at once.
WARNING
If the car is in safety mode it must not be towed. It must be transported from itslocation. Volvo recommends that it istransported to an authorised Volvo work-shop.
