Contributing to a better environment
An energy-efficient and fuel-efficient car not only contributes to a reduced impact on the environ-ment, but also means reduced costs for theowner of the car. As the driver, it is easy toreduce fuel consumption and thereby savemoney and contribute to a better environment -here is some advice:
• Plan for an effective average speed. Speedsabove approx. 80 km/h (approx. 50 mph)and below 50 km/h (approx. 30 mph) lead toincreased energy consumption.
• Follow the Service and Warranty Booklet'srecommended intervals for service and main-tenance of the car.
• Avoid letting the engine idle - switch off theengine when stationary for longer periods.Pay attention to local regulations.
• Plan the journey - a lot of unnecessary stopsand uneven speed contribute to increasedfuel consumption.
• Use preconditioning
* before starting in cold
conditions - it improves starting capacity andreduces wear in cold weather. The enginereaches normal operating temperature morequickly, which decreases consumption andreduces emissions.
Also remember to always dispose of environmen-tally hazardous waste, such as batteries and oil, inan environmentally safe manner. Consult a work-shop in the event of uncertainty about how this type of waste should be discarded - an author-ised Volvo workshop is recommended.
Efficient emission controlYour Volvo is manufactured following the concept"Clean inside and out" – a concept that encom-passes a clean interior environment as well ashighly efficient emission control. In many casesthe exhaust emissions are well below the applica-ble standards.
Clean air in the passenger
compartment
A passenger compartment filter prevents dustand pollen from entering the passenger compart-ment via the air intake. The Interior Air Quality System (IAQS) * ensures
that the incoming air is cleaner than the air in the traffic outside. The system cleans the air in the passenger com- partment from contaminants such as particles,hydrocarbons, nitrous oxides and ground-levelozone. If the outside air is contaminated then theair intake is closed and the air is recirculated.Such a situation may arise in heavy traffic,queues and tunnels for example. IAQS is a part of the Clean Zone Interior Pack- age (CZIP) *, which also includes a function that
allows the fan to start when the car is unlocked with the remote control key.
InteriorThe material used in the interior of a Volvo iscarefully selected and has been tested in order tobe pleasant and comfortable. Some of the detailsare hand-made, such as the seams of the steer-ing wheel that are sewn by hand. The interior ismonitored in order not to emit strong odours orsubstances that cause discomfort in the event ofe.g. high heat and bright light.
Volvo workshops and the environmentRegular maintenance creates the conditions for along service life and low fuel consumption foryour car. In this way you also contribute to acleaner environment. When Volvo's workshopsare entrusted with the service and maintenanceof your car it becomes part of Volvo's system.Volvo makes clear demands regarding the way inwhich workshop premises shall be designed inorder to prevent spills and discharges into theenvironment. The workshop staff have the knowl-edge and the tools required to guarantee goodenvironmental care.
RecyclingSince Volvo works from a life cycle perspective, itis also important that the car is recycled in anenvironmentally sound manner. Almost all of thecar can be recycled. The last owner of the car istherefore requested to contact a dealer for refer-ral to a certified/approved recycling facility.

SymbolSpecification
Low oil pressure If this symbol illuminates during driving then the engine's oil pres-sure is too low. Stop the engineimmediately and check the engineoil level, top up if necessary. If thesymbol illuminates and the oil levelis normal, contact a workshop.Volvo recommends that an author-ised Volvo workshop is contacted.
Alternator not charging This symbol illuminates during driv- ing if a fault has occurred in theelectrical system. Visit a workshop.Volvo recommends that an author-ised Volvo workshop is contacted.
Reminder for doors, bonnet, tailgate and fuel filler flap
If the bonnet, tailgate, fuel filler flap or door is not closed properly then the information or warningsymbol and graphics illuminate in the driver dis-play.

Outside temperature gauge
The outside temperature gauge is shown in the driver display.
A sensor detects the temperature outside of the car.
Outside temperature gauge location in the 12-inch and 8-inch driver display.
If the car has been stationary, the gauge may dis- play a temperature reading that is too high. When the outside temperature is within the range +2°C to -5°C, a snowflake symbol is shown in thedriver display as a warning for potentially slipperyconditions. The snowflake symbol is also illumi-nated briefly in the head-up display, if the car isequipped with one.

Overloading the starter battery
The electrical functions in the car load the starter battery to varying degrees. Avoid using the igni-tion position II when the car is switched off.
Instead, use ignition position I - which uses less
power.
Also, be aware of different accessories that load the electrical system. Do not use functions whichuse a lot of power when the car is switched off.Examples of such functions are:
• ventilation fan
• headlamps
• windscreen wiper
• audio system (high volume).
If the starter battery voltage is low, the message
12 V Battery Low charge, will soon enter
power save mode is shown in the driver display.
The energy-saving function then shuts down cer- tain functions or reduces certain functions suchas the ventilation fan and/or audio system.
–In which case, charge the starter battery by starting the car and then running it for atleast 15 minutes - starter battery charging ismore effective during driving than runningthe engine at idling speed while stationary.

Preparations for a long trip
Before a driving holiday or some other type of long journey, it is important to check the car'sfunctions and equipment particularly carefully.
Check that:
• the engine is working normally and that fuel consumption is normal
• there are no leaks (fuel, oil or other fluid)
• all bulbs are working
• the tyres have sufficient tread depth andpressure
• a warning triangle and high-visibility vest arelocated in the car - legally required in certaincountries
• the wiper blades are in good condition.

Winter driving
For winter driving it is important to perform cer- tain checks of the car in order to ensure that itcan be driven safely.
Check the following in particular before the cold season:
• The engine coolant must contain 50% glycol.This mixture protects the engine againstfrost erosion down to approximately –35 °C.To avoid health risks, different types of glycolmust not be mixed.
• The fuel tank must be kept filled to preventcondensation.
• Engine oil viscosity is important. Oils withlower viscosity (thinner oils) facilitate startingin cold weather and also reduce fuel con-sumption while the engine is cold. Readmore about suitable oils in the section"Adverse driving conditions for engine oil".
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 reduced by thecold.
• Use washer fluid with antifreeze to avoid iceforming in the washer fluid reservoir.
Slippery driving conditionsTo achieve optimum roadholding Volvo recom-mends using winter tyres on all wheels if there isa risk of snow or ice.
NOTE
The use of winter tyres is a legal requirement in certain countries. Studded tyres are notpermitted in all countries.
Practise driving on slippery surfaces under con- trolled conditions to learn how the car reacts.

STARTING AND DRIVING
420
Diesel Diesel is a type of engine fuel that is intended for cars with a diesel engine.
Only use diesel fuel from well-known producers. Never use fuel of dubious quality. Diesel fuelmust fulfil the EN 590 or SS 155435 standard.Diesel engines are sensitive to contaminants inthe fuel, such as excessively high volumes of sul-phur and metals. At low temperatures (lower than 0 °C) a paraffin precipitate may form in the diesel fuel, which maylead to ignition problems. The fuel qualities thatare sold must be adapted for season and climatezone, but for extreme weather conditions, old fuelor moving between climate zones, paraffin precip-itate may occur. The risk of condensation in the fuel tank is reduced if the tank is kept well filled. When refuelling, check that the area around the fuel filler pipe is clean. Avoid spilling fuel onto thepaintwork. Wash off any spillage with detergentand water.
IMPORTANT
Diesel fuel must: •fulfil the EN 590 and/or SS 155435 standards
• have a sulphur content not exceeding10 mg/kg
• have a maximum of 7 vol % FAME 15
(B7).
IMPORTANT
Diesel type fuels that must not be used:
• Special additives
• Marine diesel fuel
• Heating oil
• FAME 16
and vegetable oil.
These fuels do not fulfil the requirements in accordance with Volvo recommendations andgenerate increased wear and engine damagethat is not covered by the Volvo warranty.

Empty tank and diesel engine
Once the engine has stopped due to fuel starva- tion, the fuel system needs a few moments tocarry out a check.
Before starting the engine after the fuel tank has
been filled with diesel - proceed as follows:
1. The remote control key must be inside the car.
2. Set the car in ignition position II - turn the
ignition dial to START without depressing
the brake pedal and hold the knob in the START position for approx. 4 seconds. Then
release the knob, which automatically returns to its starting position.
3. Wait approx. one minute.
4. To start the engine: Depress the brake pedal and turn the ignition dial to START again.
NOTE
Before filling with fuel in the event of fuel shortage:
• Stop the car on as flat/level ground aspossible - if the car is tilting there is a riskof air pockets in the fuel supply.
