Introduction

Volvo and the environment

ing air is cleaner than the air in the traffic

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 plea-

sant and comfortable, even for people with

contact allergies and for asthma sufferers.

Extreme attention has been given to choosing

environmentally-compatible materials. This

means that they also fulfil the requirements in

the Oeko-Tex 100 standard

, a major advance

towards a healthier passenger compartment

environment.

Oeko-Tex certification covers seatbelts, car-

pets and fabrics for example. The leather in the

upholstery undergoes chromium-free tanning

with plant substances and fulfils the certifica-

tion requirements.

Volvo workshops and the environment

Regular maintenance creates the conditions

for a long service life and low fuel consumption

for your car. In this way you contribute to a

cleaner environment. When Volvo's workshops

are entrusted with the service and mainte-

nance of your car it becomes part of our sys-

tem. We make clear demands regarding the

way in which our workshops are designed in

order to prevent spills and discharges into the

environment. Our workshop 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

and by servicing and maintaining the car

according to the instructions in the owner's

manual.

The following advice 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 132).

•

Decrease fuel consumption by choosing

ECO tyre pressure, see page 176.

•

A roof load and ski box increase air resis-

tance, leading to higher fuel consumption.

Remove them directly after use.

•

Remove unnecessary items from the car.

The greater the load the higher the fuel

consumption.

•

If the car is equipped with an engine block

heater, always use it before starting from

cold. This reduces fuel consumption and

exhaust emissions.

•

Drive gently and avoid braking too hard.

•

Drive in the highest gear possible. Low

engine speeds result in lower fuel con-

sumption.

•

Use engine braking to slow down.

•

Avoid letting the engine idle. Pay attention

to local regulations. Switch off the engine

when stationary for longer periods.

•

Always dispose of environmentally hazar-

dous waste, such as batteries and oils, in

an environmentally safe manner. If uncer-

tain about disposal, consult an authorised

Volvo workshop for advice.

•

Service your car regularly.

•

High speed increases consumption con-

siderably due to increased wind resis-

tance. A doubling of speed increases wind

resistance 4 times.

These hints will help reduce fuel consumption

without increasing travel time or lessening the

enjoyment of driving. Apart from being kind to
