Introduction

Environment

Clean air in the passenger

compartment

A passenger compartment filter prevents dust

and pollen from entering the passenger com-

partment via the air intake.

A sophisticated air quality system, IAQS*

(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. Extreme attention has been given to

choosing environmentally-compatible materi-

als. This means that they also fulfil the

requirements in the Öko-Tex 100 standard1, a

major advance towards a healthier passenger

compartment environment.

Öko-Tex certification covers seatbelts, car-

pets and fabrics for example. The leather in

the upholstery undergoes chromium-free tan-

ning with natural plant substances and fulfils

the certification requirements.

Volvo workshops and the environment

Regular maintenance creates the conditions

for a long service life with low fuel consump-

tion for your car. In this way you contribute to

a cleaner environment. When Volvo’s work-

shops are entrusted with the service and

maintenance of your car it becomes part of

our system. We make clear demands regard-

ing the way in which our workshops are

designed in order to prevent spills and dis-

charges 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,

by purchasing eco-labelled car care products

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 protect the environment and

drive economically, see page 160):

• Decrease fuel consumption by choosing

ECO tyre pressure, see page 215.

• A roof load and ski box increase air resist-

ance, 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 use it for a few hours 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 hazard-

ous waste, such as batteries and oils, in an

environmentally safe manner. If uncertain

about disposal, consult an authorised

Volvo workshop for advice.

• Service your car regularly.

• High speed increases consumption con-

siderably due to increased wind resist-

ance. A doubling of speed increases wind

resistance four times.

These hints will help reduce fuel consumption

without increasing travel time or lessening the

enjoyment of driving. Apart from being kind to

your car, you’ll be saving money - and the

Earth’s resources.
