Introduction

Volvo and the environment

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

and fulfils the certification 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. Volvo makes 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 - here are a few tips:

•

Avoid letting the engine idle - switch off the

engine when stationary for longer periods.

Pay attention to local regulations.

•

Drive economically - think ahead.

•

Perform service and maintenance in

accordance with the owner's manual's

instructions - follow the Service and War-

ranty Booklet's recommended intervals.

•

If the car is equipped with an engine block

heater*, use it before starting from cold - it

improves starting capacity and reduces

wear in cold weather and the engine rea-

ches normal operating temperature more

quickly, which lowers consumption and

reduces emissions.

•

High speed increases consumption con-

siderably due to increased wind resistance

- a doubling of speed increases wind resis-

tance 4 times.

•

Always dispose of environmentally hazar-

dous waste, such as batteries and oils, in

an environmentally safe manner. Consult a

workshop in the event of uncertainty about

how this type of waste should be discarded

- an authorised Volvo workshop is recom-

mended.

Following this advice can save money, the

planet's resources are saved and the car's

durability is extended. For more information

and further advice, see the pages 216 and

306.

Recycling

As a part of Volvo's environmental work, it is

important that the car is recycled in an envi-

ronmentally sound manner. Almost all of the

car can be recycled. The last owner of the car

is therefore requested to contact a dealer for

referral to a certified/approved recycling

facility.

environment

this publication comes from FSC certified for-

ests or other controlled sources.
