goal. In addition to continuous environmentalrefinement 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 vehicle'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.
Twin Engine vehicles
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.

Data recording
As part of Volvo's commitment to safety andquality, certain information is recorded regardingvehicle operation, functionality and incidents.
US market only:
EDR
This vehicle is equipped with an event datarecorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR isto record, in certain crash or near crash-likesituations, such as an air bag deployment orhitting a road obstacle, data that will assist inunderstanding how a vehicle's systemsperformed. The EDR is designed to record datarelated to vehicle dynamics and safety systemsfor a short period of time, typically 30 seconds orless. The EDR in this vehicle is designed torecord such data as:
How various systems in your vehicle wereoperating;
Whether or not the driver and passengersafety belts were buckled/fastened;
How far (if at all) the driver was depressingthe accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a betterunderstanding of the circumstances in whichcrashes and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data arerecorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crashsituation occurs; no data are recorded by theEDR under normal driving conditions and no
personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crashlocation) are recorded. However, other parties,such as law enforcement, could combine theEDR data with the type of personally identifyingdata routinely acquired during a crashinvestigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, specialequipment is required, and access to the vehicleor the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehiclemanufacturer, other parties, such as lawenforcement, that have the special equipment,can read the information if they have access tothe vehicle or the EDR.
ASDR
This vehicle is equipped with an Active SafetyData Recorder (ASDR). This data recorder canrecord information related to the usage of thecar, functional errors and active safety actuations(e.g. auto brake). The information saved is usedby technicians for service and maintenance todiagnose and repair possible faults that hasoccurred in the vehicle and to fulfil certain legalrequirements. The registered data can also, incongregated form, be used for research- andproduct development –purposes to continuouslyimprove the safety and quality of Volvo Cars. Formore information contact your local Volvo retailer.
SAFETY

Safety
The vehicle is equipped with a number of safetysystems that work together to help protect thevehicle's driver and passengers in the event ofan accident.
The vehicle is equipped with a number of sensorsthat may react in the event of an accident andactivate different safety systems, such as the air-bag system and seat belt tensioners. Dependingon the specific conditions of the accident, e.g.collisions at certain angles, overturning or swerv-ing, the systems react differently to help providethe best protection.
There are also mechanical safety systems suchas the Whiplash Protection System. The vehicleis also built so that a large part of the force of acollision is distributed to the vehicle's members,pillars, floor, roof and other parts of the body.
After an accident, the vehicle's safety mode maybe activated if any important function in the vehi-cle has been damaged.
Warning symbol in the instrument panel
The warning symbol in the instrumentpanel illuminates when the vehicle'selectrical system is in ignition mode II.The symbol will go out after approx. 6seconds if no faults are detected in the vehicle'ssafety systems.
WARNING
If the warning symbol remains illuminated orswitches on while driving and the messageSRS airbag Service urgent Drive toworkshop is displayed in the instrumentpanel, this indicates that something in thesafety system is not functioning properly.Volvo recommends contacting an authorizedVolvo workshop for repairs as soon as possi-ble.
WARNING
Never attempt to alter or repair any of thevehicle's safety systems yourself. Incorrectlyperformed repairs to any system could impairfunction and lead to serious injury. Volvo rec-ommends contacting an authorized Volvoworkshop.
If this dedicated warning symbol is notfunctioning, the general warning sym-bol will illuminate instead and the samemessage will be displayed in the instru-ment panel.

Safety mode is a feature that is triggered after acollision if there is potential damage to an impor-tant function in the vehicle, such as the fuellines, sensors for one of the safety systems, thebrake system, etc.
If the vehicle has been involved in a collision, thetext Safety mode See Owner's manual mayappear in the instrument panel along with thewarning symbol if the panel is undamaged andthe vehicle's electrical system is intact. The mes-sage indicates that one or more of the vehicle'sfunctions may be reduced.
WARNING
Never attempt to restart the vehicle if yousmell fuel fumes when the message Safetymode See Owner's manual is displayed inthe instrument panel. Leave the vehicle imme-diately.
If safety mode has been set, it may be possible toreset the system in order to start and move thevehicle a short distance, for example, if it is block-ing traffic.
WARNING
Never attempt to perform repairs or resetelectrical components on your own after thevehicle has been in safety mode. This couldresult in injury or prevent the vehicle fromfunctioning properly. Volvo recommends hav-ing the vehicle inspected and reset to normaloperating status by an authorized Volvo work-shop after Safety mode See Owner'smanual has been displayed.
WARNING
When the vehicle is in safety mode, it shouldnot be towed behind another vehicle. It shouldbe towed from the site on a tow truck. Volvorecommends towing the vehicle directly to anauthorized Volvo workshop.
