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.

Data recording As part of Volvo's commitment to safety and quality, certain information is recorded regar-ding vehicle operation, functionality and inci-dents.
US market only:
EDR
This vehicle is equipped with an "Event Data Recorder" (EDR). The main purpose of an EDRis to 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 recorddata related to vehicle dynamics and safetysystems for a short period of time, typically 30seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle isdesigned to record 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 wasdepressing the accelerator and/or brakepedal; and,
How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a betterunderstanding of the circumstances in whichcrashes and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR dataare recorded by your vehicle only if a non- trivial crash situation occurs; no data arerecorded by the EDR under normal drivingconditions and no personal data (e.g., name,gender, age, and crash location) are recorded.However, other parties, such as lawenforcement, could combine the EDR datawith the type of personally identifying dataroutinely acquired during a crash investigation. To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to thevehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition tothe vehicle manufacturer, other parties, suchas law enforcement, that have the specialequipment, can read the information if theyhave access to the vehicle or the EDR.
ASDR
This vehicle is equipped with an Active Safety Data Recorder (ASDR). This data recorder canrecord information related to the usage of thecar, functional errors and active safetyactuations (e.g. auto brake). The informationsaved is used by technicians for service andmaintenance to diagnose and repair possiblefaults that has occurred in the vehicle and tofulfil certain legal requirements. The registereddata can also, in congregated form, be usedfor research- and product development –purposes to continuously improve the safetyand quality of Volvo Cars. For moreinformation contact your local Volvo retailer.

34Canadian 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.
