Introduction

Environment

Volvo and the environment

Volvo is committed to the well being of its cus-

tomers. As a natural part of this commitment,

we care about the environment in which we all

live. Caring for the environment means an

everyday involvement in reducing our environ-

mental impact. Volvo's environmental activities

are based on a holistic view, which means we

consider the overall environmental impact of a

product throughout its complete life cycle. In

this context, design, production, product use,

and recycling are all important considerations.

In production, Volvo has partly or completely

phased out several chemicals including CFCs,

lead chromates, asbestos, and cadmium; and

reduced the number of chemicals used in our

plants 50% since 1991.

Volvo was the first in the world to introduce into

production a three-way catalytic converter with

a Lambda sond, now called the heated oxygen

sensor, in 1976. The current version of this

highly efficient system reduces emissions of

harmful substances (CO, HC, NOx) from the

exhaust pipe by approximately 95 – 99% and

the search to eliminate the remaining emis-

sions continues. Volvo is the only automobile

manufacturer to offer CFC-free retrofit kits for

the air conditioning system of all models as far

back as the 1975 model 240. Advanced elec-

tronic engine controls and cleaner fuels are

bringing us closer to our goal. In addition to

continuous environmental refinement of con-

ventional gasoline-powered internal combus-

tion engines, Volvo is actively looking at

advanced technology alternative-fuel vehicles.

When you drive a Volvo, you become our part-

ner in the work to lessen the car's impact on

the environment. To reduce your vehicle's

environmental impact, you can:

•

Maintain proper air pressure in your tires.

Tests have shown decreased fuel econ-

omy with improperly inflated tires.

•

Follow the recommended maintenance

schedule in your Warranty and Service

Records Information booklet.

•

Drive at a constant speed whenever pos-

sible.

•

See a trained and qualified Volvo service

technician as soon as possible for inspec-

tion if the check engine (malfunction indi-

cator) light illuminates, or stays on after the

vehicle has started.

•

Properly dispose of any vehicle-related

waste such as used motor oil, used batter-

ies, brake pads, etc.

•

When cleaning your vehicle, please use

genuine Volvo car care products. All Volvo

car care products are formulated to be

environmentally friendly.

Recycling

As part of Volvo’s commitment to the environ-

ment, it is essential for the vehicle to be recy-

cled in an environmentally sound way. Almost

the entire vehicle can be recycled and for that

reason, the vehicle’s final owner is requested

to contact a Volvo retailer for information about

approved and certified recycling facilities.
