read the owner's manual, ideally before your first journey. This will give you the opportunity to familiarise yourself with new functions, to see how best to handle the car in different situations, and to make the best use of all the car's features. Please pay attention to the safety instructions contained in the manual. NOTE Volvo cars are adapted for the varying requirements of different markets, as well as for national or local legal requirements and regulations. If you are uncertain over what is standard, an option or an accessory then contact your Volvo dealer. WARNING "Warning" texts indicate where there is a risk of personal injury in the event of the instructions not being followed. The specifications, design features and illustrations in this owner's manual are not binding. We reserve the right to make modifications without prior notice. © Volvo Car Corporation IMPORTANT "Important" texts indicate a risk of damage to the car in the event of the instructions not being followed. The equipment described in the owner's manual is not present in all models. In addition to standard equipment, this manual also describes options (factory fitted equipment) and certain accessories (extra equipment). 6 Introduction Volvo Car Corporation and the environment Volvo Cars' environmental philosophy Environmental care, safety and quality are the three core values which influence all operations of the Volvo Car Corporation. We also believe that our customers share our consideration for the environment. Your Volvo complies with strict international environmental standards and is also manufactured in one of the cleanest and most resource-efficient plants in the world. Volvo Car Corporation has global ISO certification, which includes the environmental standard (ISO 14001) covering factories, central functions, as well as several of our other units. We also set requirements for our partners so that they work systematically with environmental issues. EPI (Environmental Product Information) is supplied for all Volvo models. Here you can see how the environment is affected during the entire lifecycle of the car. Read more at www.volvocars.com/EPI. lower emission of the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide. It is possible for the driver to influence fuel consumption. For more information read under the heading, Reducing environmental impact, on page 8. Fuel consumption Volvo cars have competitive fuel consumption in each of their respective classes. Lower fuel consumption generally results in 7 Introduction Volvo Car Corporation and the environment Efficient emission control Your Volvo is manufactured following the concept Clean inside and out ­ a concept that encompasses a clean interior environment as well as highly efficient emission control. In many cases the exhaust emissions are well below the applicable standards. Textile standard The interior of a Volvo is designed to be pleasant and comfortable, even for people with contact allergies and for asthma sufferers. All of our upholstery and interior textiles are tested with respect to certain unhealthy substances and allergens as well as emissions. This means that all textiles fulfil the requirements in the Öko-Tex 100 standard2, a major advance towards a healthier passenger compartment environment. Öko-Tex certification covers seatbelts, carpets and fabrics for example. The leather in the upholstery undergoes chromium-free tanning with natural plant substances and fulfils the certification requirements. 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 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 112). · Decrease fuel consumption by choosing ECO tyre pressure, see page 154. · A roof load and ski box increase air resistance, leading to significantly higher fuel consumption. Remove them immediately 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 consumption. 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 traffic outside. The system consists of an electronic sensor and a carbon filter. The incoming air is monitored 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. 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 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 workshop staff have the knowledge and the tools required to guarantee good environmental care. 2 1 Option More information on www.oekotex.com 8 Introduction Volvo Car Corporation and the environment · Ease back on the accelerator on downhill gradients. · Use engine braking to slow down. · Avoid idling. Take consideration of local regulations. Switch off the engine in stationary traffic. · Always dispose of environmentally hazardous waste, such as batteries and oils, in an environmentally responsible manner. If uncertain about disposal, consult an authorised Volvo workshop for advice. · Service your car regularly. These hints will help you 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. 9 Seatbelts .................................................................................................. 12 Airbag system .......................................................................................... 15 Airbags (SRS) ........................................................................................... 16 Activating/deactivating the airbag (SRS) ............................................. ...
