Drive-E ‒ purer driving pleasure
Volvo is committed to the well-being of its customers. As a natural part of this commit-ment, we care about the environment inwhich we all live. Concern for the environ-ment means an everyday involvement inreducing our environmental impact.
Volvo's environmental activities are based on a holistic view, which means we consider theoverall environmental impact of a productthroughout its complete life cycle. In this con-text, design, production, product use, andrecycling are all important considerations. Inproduction, Volvo has partly or completelyphased out several chemicals including CFCs,lead chromates, asbestos, and cadmium; andreduced the number of chemicals used in ourplants 50% since 1991. Volvo was the first in the world to introduce into production a three-way catalytic converterwith a Lambda sond, now called the heatedoxygen sensor, in 1976. The current version ofthis highly efficient system reduces emissionsof harmful substances (CO, HC, NOx) from theexhaust pipe by approximately 95 - 99% andthe search to eliminate the remaining emis-sions continues. Volvo is the only automobilemanufacturer to offer CFC-free retrofit kits forthe air conditioning system of all models as farback as the 1975 model 240. Advanced elec-tronic engine controls and cleaner fuels arebringing us closer to our goal. In addition to continuous environmental refinement of con-ventional gasoline-powered internal combus-tion engines, Volvo is actively looking atadvanced technology alternative-fuel vehicles. When you drive a Volvo, you become our part- ner in the work to lessen the vehicle's impacton the environment. To reduce your vehicle'senvironmental impact, you can:
Maintain proper air pressure in your tires.Tests have shown decreased fuel econ-omy with improperly inflated tires.
Follow the recommended maintenanceschedule in your Warranty and ServiceRecords Information booklet.
Drive at a constant speed whenever possi-ble.
See a trained and qualified Volvo servicetechnician as soon as possible for inspec-tion if the check engine (malfunction indi-cator) light illuminates, or stays on afterthe vehicle has started.
Properly dispose of any vehicle-relatedwaste such as used motor oil, used batter-ies, brake pads, etc.
When cleaning your vehicle, please usegenuine Volvo car care products. All Volvocar care products are formulated to beenvironmentally friendly.
Twin Engine vehicles
If possible, precondition the vehicle withthe charging cable before driving.
If preconditioning is not possible in coldweather, use the seat and steering wheelheating primarily. Avoid heating the entirepassenger compartment, which reducesthe hybrid battery's charge level.
Choose the
Pure drive mode to help mini-
mize electric power consumption.
In hilly terrain, put the gear selector in mode
B to utilize the electric motor's
braking function when the acceleratorpedal is released. This helps charge thehybrid battery.

Center display
Many of the vehicle's main functions are con- trolled from the center display, a touchscreenthat reacts to taps and other gestures. Thisminimizes the number of physical buttons andcontrols needed in the vehicle. The screen canalso be operated while wearing gloves. The center display is used to control e.g. the climate and entertainment systems and to adjust the power seats
*. The information pre-
sented in the center display can be handled by the driver or, in some situations, by a passen-ger.

36Canadian market only: This vehicle is equipped with an “Event Data Recorder” (EDR). The main purpose of theEDR is to register and record data in trafficaccidents or accident-like situations, e.g. if anairbag deploys or if the vehicle hits an obstaclein the road. This data is recorded in order tohelp understand how the vehicle's systemsperform in these types of situations. The EDRis designed to record data related to vehicledynamics and safety systems for a shortperiod of time, usually 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record data in traffic accidents or accident-like situa-tions such as:
How the various systems in the vehicleperformed;
Whether the driver and passenger seatbelts were tightened/buckled;
The driver's use of the accelerator/brakepedal;
How fast the vehicle was moving.
This data can help provide a better under-standing of the circumstances in which trafficaccidents and injuries occur. The EDR records data only if a non-trivial accident situation occurs. EDR does not record any data duringnormal driving conditions. The system alsonever registers data on who is driving the vehi-cle or the geographical location of the acci- dent or near-accident. However, other parties,such as law enforcement, could combine theEDR data with the type of personally identifia-ble information that is routinely acquired dur-ing an accident investigation. Special equip-ment and access to either the vehicle or theEDR is required to read this recorded data. In addition to the EDR, the vehicle is equipped with a number of computers that continuouslycontrol and monitor the vehicle's performance.These computers may record data during nor-mal driving conditions, particularly if theydetect a fault relating to the vehicle's opera-tion and functionality or upon activation of thevehicle's active driver support functions (e.g.City Safety or the auto-brake function). Some of this recorded data is required by technicians performing service and mainte-nance in order to diagnose and rectify anyfaults that may have occurred in the vehicle.The recorded information is also needed toenable Volvo to fulfill legal and other regula-tory requirements. Information registered inthe vehicle is stored in its computers until thevehicle is serviced or repaired. In addition to the above, the recorded informa- tion may be used in aggregated form forresearch and product development purposesin order to continuously improve the safetyand quality of Volvo vehicles.
Volvo will not provide this information to anythird parties without the vehicle owner's con-sent. However, national legislation and regula-tions may require Volvo to disclose this type ofinformation to law enforcement or otherauthorities that can claim a legal right to theinformation. Special technical equipment,which Volvo and workshops that have enteredagreements with Volvo have access to, isrequired to read and interpret the recordeddata. Volvo is responsible for ensuring thatinformation provided to Volvo in conjunctionwith service and maintenance is stored andhandled securely and in compliance withapplicable legal requirements. For more infor-mation, please contact a Volvo retailer.

Volvo Structural Parts StatementVolvo is one of the leading companies for car safety.
Volvo engineers and manufactures vehicles designed to help protect vehicle occupants inthe event of a collision. Volvos are designed to absorb the impact of a collision. This energy absorption systemincluding, but not limited to, structural compo-nents such as bumper reinforcement bars,bumper energy absorbers, frames, rails, fenderaprons, A-pillars, B-pillars and body panelsmust work together to maintain cabin integrityand protect the vehicle occupants. The supplemental restraint system including but not limited to air bags, side curtain airbags, and deployment sensors work togetherwith the above components to provide propertiming for air bag deployment. Due to the above, Volvo Car USA does not support the use of aftermarket, alternative oranything other than original Volvo parts forcollision repair. Volvo Car USA also recommends using Volvo- approved replacement glass. The use of after-market glass, particularly a windshield, canhave an adverse effect on collision avoidanceand advanced lighting systems. In addition Volvo does not support the use or re-use of structural components from an exist-ing vehicle that has been previously damaged. Although these parts may appear equivalent, itis difficult to tell if the parts have been previ-ously replaced with non-OE parts or if the parthas been damaged as a result of a prior colli-sion. The quality of these used parts may alsohave been affected due to environmentalexposure.

Safety during pregnancy
It is important that seat belts are worn cor- rectly during pregnancy and that pregnantdrivers adjust their seating position accord-ingly.
Seat belt
The seat belt should fit closely against the shoulder, with the diagonal section betweenthe breasts and to the side of the stomach. The lap section of the seat belt should lie flat over the thighs and as far as possible underthe stomach. Never let it ride upward. Removeunnecessary slack and make sure the seat beltfits as close as possible to the body. Makesure there are no twists in the seat belt.
Seating positionAs pregnancy progresses, pregnant driversshould adjust the seat and steering wheel to a position that allows them to retain full controlof the vehicle (which means they should beable to easily reach the steering wheel andfoot pedals). Try to maintain as much distanceas possible between the stomach and thesteering wheel.

Safety is Volvo's cornerstone.
Volvo's concern for safetyOur concern for safety dates back to 1927 when the first Volvo rolled off the productionline. Three-point seat belts (a Volvo invention),safety cages, and energy-absorbing impactzones were designed into Volvo vehicles longbefore it was fashionable or required by gov-ernment regulation. We will not compromise our commitment to safety. We continue to seek out new safetyfeatures and to refine those already in ourvehicles. You can help. We would appreciatehearing your suggestions about improvingautomobile safety. We also want to know ifyou ever have a safety concern with your vehi-cle.
