Volvo and the environment
Volvo is committed to the well-being of its cus-tomers. As a natural part of this commitment, wecare about the environment in which we all live.Concern for the environment means an everydayinvolvement in reducing our environmentalimpact.
Volvo's environmental activities are based on aholistic view, which means we consider the over-all environmental impact of a product throughoutits complete life cycle. In this context, design, pro-duction, product use, and recycling are all impor-tant considerations. In production, Volvo haspartly or completely phased out several chemicalsincluding CFCs, lead chromates, asbestos, andcadmium; and reduced the number of chemicalsused in our plants 50% since 1991.
Volvo was the first in the world to introduce intoproduction a three-way catalytic converter with aLambda sond, now called the heated oxygen sen-sor, in 1976. The current version of this highlyefficient system reduces emissions of harmfulsubstances (CO, HC, NOx) from the exhaust pipeby approximately 95 – 99% and the search toeliminate the remaining emissions continues.Volvo is the only automobile manufacturer tooffer CFC-free retrofit kits for the air conditioningsystem of all models as far back as the 1975model 240. Advanced electronic engine controlsand cleaner fuels are bringing us closer to ourgoal. In addition to continuous environmental
refinement of conventional gasoline-poweredinternal combustion engines, Volvo is activelylooking at advanced technology alternative-fuelvehicles.
When you drive a Volvo, you become our partnerin the work to lessen the car's impact on theenvironment. To reduce your vehicle's environ-mental impact, you can:
•Maintain proper air pressure in your tires.Tests have shown decreased fuel economywith improperly inflated tires.
•Follow the recommended maintenanceschedule in your Warranty and ServiceRecords Information booklet.
•Drive at a constant speed whenever possible.
•See a trained and qualified Volvo servicetechnician as soon as possible for inspectionif the check engine (malfunction indicator)light illuminates, or stays on after the vehiclehas started.
•Properly dispose of any vehicle-related wastesuch as used motor oil, used batteries, brakepads, etc.
•When cleaning your vehicle, please use gen-uine Volvo car care products. All Volvo carcare products are formulated to be environ-mentally friendly.

•If possible, precondition the vehicle with thecharging cable before driving.
•If preconditioning is not possible in coldweather, use the seat and steering wheelheating primarily. Avoid heating the entirepassenger compartment, which reduces thehybrid battery's charge level.
•Choose the Pure drive mode to help mini-mize electric power consumption.
•In hilly terrain, put the gear selector in modeB to utilize the electric motor's braking func-tion when the accelerator pedal is released.This helps charge the hybrid battery.

The accuracy of this figure may vary if your driv-ing style changes. An economical driving style willgenerally increase this distance.

Distance to discharged battery
This gauge shows the approximate distance thatcan be driven on the charge remaining in thehybrid battery. When the gauge displays "----"there is no guaranteed driving charge remainingin the battery.
This calculation is based on the average electricalcurrent consumption in a normally loaded vehicleduring normal driving, and whether the A/C is onor off.
An economical driving style will generallyincrease this distance.

Distance using the electric motor
To get the optimal driving distance using theelectric motor, it is essential to conserve current.Functions that use a great deal of current (e.g.,audio system, electrical heating in the steeringwheel/door mirrors/rear window/seats, very coldair from the climate system, etc.) reduce the pos-sible driving distance.

NOTE
In addition to high electrical consumption inthe passenger compartment, fast accelera-tion, sudden braking, heavy loads, low ambienttemperatures and driving up hills can reducethe possible driving distance.
Tourist (alternative speedometer)
This is an alternative digital speedometer can beused when driving in areas in which the speedlimit is listed in a different unit of measure. If thespeedometer is in mph, this gauge will show thevehicle's speed in km/h and vice versa.

Calibrating the compass
North America is divided into 15 magnetic zonesand the compass will need to be calibrated if thevehicle is driven from one zone to another.
To calibrate the compass:
1.Stop the vehicle in a large open area, safelyout of traffic and away from steel structuresand high-tension electrical wires.
2. Start the vehicle.

NOTE
•For best calibration results, switch off allelectrical equipment in the vehicle (climatesystem, windshield wipers, audio system,etc.) and make sure that all doors areclosed.
•Calibration may not succeed or be incor-rect if the vehicle's electrical equipment isnot switched off.
3. Using a pen, paperclip or similar object, pressand hold the button on the underside of mir-ror for approx. 3 seconds until the number ofthe current magnetic zone is displayed.

4. Press the button on the underside of mirrorrepeatedly until the desired magnetic zone(1–15) is displayed (see the map of mag-netic zones).
5.Wait until C is again displayed in the mirroror hold the button on the underside of mirrorfor approx. 6 seconds until C is displayed inthe mirror.
6.Drive slowly in a circle at a speed of no morethan 6 mph (10 km/h) until a direction is dis-played. This indicates that calibration is com-plete. Drive around in a circle an additionaltwo times to fine-tune the calibration.
7.Vehicles with an electrically heated wind-shield:* if C is displayed when the heatingfunction is activated, perform step 6 with theheating function on.
