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.

Perceived temperature
The climate control system regulates the climatein the passenger compartment based on per-ceived temperature, not actual temperature.
The selected passenger compartment tempera-ture is based on the physical perception of thecurrent ambient temperature, airflow speed,humidity, sunlight in the passenger compartment,etc.
The system has a sunlight sensor that detectswhich side of the vehicle the sunlight is shiningon and adjusts the temperature accordingly. Thismeans that the temperature of the air coming outof the vents may be different for the left and rightsides, even if the temperature setting is the samefor both sides.
