Introduction

Volvo Cars and the environment

Efficient emission control

Your Volvo is manufactured following the

concept Clean inside and out – a concept

that encompasses a clean interior environ-

ment as well as highly efficient emission con-

trol. In many cases the exhaust emissions are

well below the applicable standards.

Clean air in the passenger

compartment

A passenger compartment filter prevents

dust and pollen from entering the passenger

compartment via the air intake.

A sophisticated air quality system, IAQS1

(Interior Air Quality System) ensures that the

incoming air is cleaner than the air in the traf-

fic outside.

The system consists of an electronic sensor

and a carbon filter. The incoming air is moni-

tored continuously and if there is an increase

in the level of certain unhealthy gases such

as carbon monoxide then the air intake is

closed. Such a situation may arise in heavy

traffic, queues and tunnels for example.

The entry of nitrous oxides, ground-level

ozone and hydrocarbons is prevented by the

carbon filter.

Textile standard

The interior of a Volvo is designed to be

pleasant and comfortable, even for people

with contact allergies and for asthma suffer-

ers. All of our upholstery and interior textiles

are tested with respect to certain unhealthy

substances and allergens as well as emis-

sions. This means that all textiles fulfil the

requirements in the Öko-Tex 100 standard2,

a major advance towards a healthier passen-

ger compartment environment.

Öko-Tex certification covers seatbelts, car-

pets and fabrics for example. The leather in

the upholstery undergoes chromium-free

tanning with natural plant substances and

fulfils the certification requirements.

Volvo workshops and the environment

Regular maintenance creates the conditions

for a long service life and low fuel consump-

tion for your car, and in this way you contrib-

ute to a cleaner environment. When Volvo’s

workshops are entrusted with the service

and maintenance of your car it becomes part

of our system. We make clear demands

regarding the way in which our workshops

are designed in order to prevent spills and

discharges into the environment. Our work-

shop staff have the knowledge and the tools

required to guarantee good environmental

care.

Reducing environmental impact

You can easily help reduce environmental

impact, for example, by driving economically,

by purchasing eco-labelled car care prod-

ucts and by servicing and maintaining the car

in accordance with the instructions in the

owner’s manual.

The following hints will help you to do your bit

for the environment (for further advice on

how you can reduce environmental impact

and drive economically, see page 118).

• Decrease fuel consumption by choosing

ECO tyre pressure, see page 162.

• A roof load and ski box

increase wind resistance,

leading to significantly

higher fuel consumption.

Remove them immedi-

ately after use.

• Remove unnecessary

items from the car - the greater the load

the higher the fuel consumption.

• Is your car equipped with an engine block

heater? If so, use it for a few hours before

starting from cold to reduce fuel con-

sumption and exhaust emissions.

• Drive gently and avoid braking too hard.
