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.

For example:
The vehicle has been started, but is stationary and nopower is being requested.
The electric motor cannot supply the requested powerand the internal combustion engine will start.
The vehicle is generating current to recharge the battery,e.g. during light braking or engine braking on a down-slope.

Hybrid gauge
The hybrid battery gauge shows how much cur-rent is left in the hybrid battery.
The current in the hybrid battery is used to powerthe electric motor, but can also be used to heator cool the vehicle. The trip computer calculatesan approximate driving distance with the remain-ing current in the hybrid battery.
WINDOWS, GLASS AND MIRRORS
* Option/accessory.166
Windows, glass and mirrors
The vehicle is equipped with controls for win-dows, glass and mirrors. Some of the windowsin the car are laminated.
Laminated glass
The windshield has laminated glass. Laminatedglass is also available as on option for someother glass surfaces. Laminated glass is rein-forced, which provides better protection againstbreak-ins and improved soundproofing in thepassenger compartment.
The panoramic roof* also has laminated glass.

Pinch protection for windows andsun curtains
All power windows and sun curtains* have apinch protection function that is triggered if any-thing blocks them while they are opening orclosing.
If pinch protection is activated, movement willstop and then retract automatically to approx.50 mm (2 inches) from the point at which it wasblocked (or to full ventilation position).
It is still possible to override pinch protectionwhen closing is interrupted (e.g. due to ice) bypressing and holding down the control in thesame direction.
If there is any problem with the pinch protection,a rest procedure can be tested.
WARNING
If the starter battery is disconnected, the func-tion for automatic opening and closing mustbe reset to function correctly. A reset isrequired in order for the pinch protection towork.
1Does not apply to windshield and panoramic roof*, which are always laminated and therefore do not have this symbol.
