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.

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.

Points to remember when filling with a fuel can
When filling diesel with a fuel can, use the funnel located under the floor hatch in the cargo area.Make sure you insert the funnel's pipe firmly intothe filler pipe. The filler pipe has an openablecover and the funnel's pipe must be slid past thecover before filling can begin.

Diesel particulate filter Diesel-driven cars are equipped with a particu- late filter, which results in more efficient emis-sion control.
The particles in the exhaust gases are collected in the filter during normal driving. So-called"regeneration" is started in order to burn awaythe particles and empty the filter. This requiresthe engine to have reached normal operatingtemperature. Regeneration of the particulate filter is automatic and normally takes 10-20 minutes. It may take alittle longer at a low average speed. Fuel con-sumption may increase slightly during regenera-tion.
Regeneration in cold weatherIf the car is frequently driven short distances incold weather then the engine does not reachnormal operating temperature. This means thatregeneration of the diesel particulate filter doesnot take place and the filter is not emptied. When the filter has become approx. 80% full of particles, a yellow warning triangle illuminates, and the message
Particulate filter full See
Owner's manual is shown in the driver display.
Start regeneration of the filter by driving the car until the engine reaches normal operating tem-perature, preferably on a main road or motorway. The car should then be driven for approximately20 minutes more.
NOTE
The following may arise during regeneration:
• a smaller reduction of engine power may be noticed temporarily
• fuel consumption may increase temporar-ily
• a smell of burning may arise.
When regeneration is complete the warning text is cleared automatically. Use the parking heater
* in cold weather - the
engine then reaches normal operating tempera- ture more quickly.
IMPORTANT
If the filter is completely filled with particles, it may be difficult to start the engine and the fil-ter is non-functional. Then there is a risk thatthe filter will need to be replaced.

Engine oil
An approved engine oil must be used in order that the recommended service intervals can beapplied.
Volvo recommends:
IMPORTANT
In order to fulfil the requirements for the engine's service intervals all engines are filledwith a specially adapted synthetic engine oilat the factory. The choice of oil has beenmade very carefully with regard to service life,starting characteristics, fuel consumption andenvironmental impact. An approved engine oil must be used in order that the recommended service intervals canbe applied. Only use a prescribed grade of oilfor both filling and oil change, otherwise thereis a risk of the service life, starting characte-ristics, fuel consumption and environmentalimpact of the car being affected. If engine oil of the prescribed grade and vis- cosity is not used, engine related componentsmay become damaged. Volvo Car Corporationdisclaims any liability for any such damage. Volvo recommends that oil changes are car- ried out at an authorised Volvo workshop.
Volvo uses different systems for warning of low/ high oil level or low oil pressure. Certain enginevariants have an oil pressure sensor, and then thedriver display's warning symbol for low oil pres- sure
is used. Other variants have an oil
level sensor, when the driver is informed via the driver display's warning symbol
and display texts. Certain variants have both systems. Contact a Volvo dealer for more information. Change the engine oil and oil filter in accordance with the intervals specified in the Service andWarranty Booklet. Using oil of a higher than specified grade is per- mitted. If the car is driven in adverse conditions,Volvo recommends using an oil of a higher gradethan the one specified.
