Volvo cars comply with strict international environmental standards and are manufactured in some of the cleanest and most resource-efficient plants in the world. Volvo Cars has been awarded multi-site global certification under the ISO 14001 environmental standard, ensuring continuous improvement in the area. All Volvo models are supplied with an environmental product declaration - or EPD - which enables the customer to compare the environmental performance of different models and engines. Visit epd.volvocars.se for more information. Clean inside and out Your Volvo is designed to be clean inside and out, a concept which means that you benefit in two ways - from a clean cabin and a highly efficient exhaust treatment system, which ensures that your car saves fuel and releases a minimum of harmful substances. Inside, the air entering the passenger compartment is filtered to protect you and your passengers from dust, particles and pollen. A sophisticated air quality system known as IAQS can be added as an option to ensure that the air supplied to the passenger compartment is cleaner than the air outside. Consisting of an electronic sensor and an activated carbon filter, the system monitors the level of carbon monoxide in the incoming air and closes the air intakes to prevent the level in the cabin from becoming too high - for example in heavy city traffic, tailbacks and tunnels - while the carbon filter traps nitrogen oxides, ground-level ozone and hydrocarbons. In addition, to benefit allergy sufferers, the fabrics used in the interior comply with the provisions of the international Öko-Tex2 standard. Outside, a special catalytic coating known as PremAir®3 is used to convert harmful groundlevel ozone in the air passing through the radiator into pure oxygen. A Volvo meets strict international environmental demands and delivers low fuel consumption to reduce emissions of greenhouse carbon dioxide. In terms of fuel economy, Volvo cars are highly competitive in their respective segments. 2 3 1 Interior Air Quality System An international ecological standard for textiles PremAir® is a registered trademark of Engelhard Corporation 7 Volvo Cars and the environment Volvo workshops and the environment Regular maintenance carried out by an authorised Volvo workshop creates the conditions for low fuel consumption and contributes to a cleaner environment. Volvo service technicians are equipped with the knowhow and tools to ensure that your car delivers the best possible environmental performance. · Is your car equipped with an engine block heater? If so, use it for a few hours before starting from cold to reduce fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. · Drive gently! Avoid accelerating and braking too hard. · Drive in the highest possible gear - lower engine revs reduce fuel consumption. · Ease back on the accelerator on downhill gradients. · Use engine braking. Take your foot off the accelerator and change down. · Avoid idling. Switch off the engine in traffic queues. · Always dispose of environmentally hazardous waste, such as batteries and oils, in an environmentally safe manner. If uncertain, ask your authorised Volvo workshop for advice. · Service your car regularly. These hints will help you to reduce your fuel consumption without increasing your 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. 0000324 Reducing environmental impact We believe that our customers share our concern for the environment. You can contribute to improving the environment by using only ecologically approved car care products, and by ensuring that your car is serviced and maintained according to the instructions in the owner's manual. The following hints will help you to do your bit for the environment: · Always ensure that your tyre pressures are correct. Poorly inflated tyres increase fuel consumption. · Since roof racks and ski boxes increase air resistance, leading to significantly higher fuel consumption, they should be removed immediately after use. · Remove unnecessary items from the car the greater the load the higher the fuel consumption. 8 Safety Seat belts Airbags Side impact air bags Collision curtains WHIPS Brake system Stability system Child safety 10 12 15 18 19 21 23 24 9 Seat belts Use the seat belt for all types of driving Even hard braking can have dangerous consequences if you are not wearing a seat belt! Therefore, always ask your passengers to use seat belts! Otherwise rear seat passengers may be thrown into the front seat backrests in a collision. Everyone in the car may then be hurt. Use the seat belt as follows: pull the belt out slowly and secure it by inserting the locking tab into the buckle. A loud "click" indicates that the belt is locked. The belt is not normally restricted and you can move freely. The belt is restricted and cannot be pulled out further: · If it is pulled out too fast. · During braking and acceleration. · If the vehicle is leaning forward excessively. It is important that the belt lies against the body so it can provide maximum protection. Do not lean the backrest too far back. The seat belt is designed to protect in a normal seating position. 8803443a 8801947d Extending the lap belt. Keep in mind the following: · · · · Do not use clips or anything else that prevents the belt from lying correctly. Ensure the belt is not twisted or caught on anything. The lap belt should sit low - not over the abdomen. Stretch the lap belt over the lap by pulling the diagonal shoulder belt as illustrated above. Seatbelts and pregnancy It is extremely important that the seatbelt is used correctly during pregnancy. It should be in contact with the body. The upper part of the seatbelt should fit between the breasts and against the side of the abdomen. The hip section of the seatbelt must be flat and as far under the abdomen as possible. It must not slide up towards the abdomen. An expectant mother who is driving should move the seat as far back as possible in order to obtain the greatest possible distance between steering wheel and abdomen. Set the steering wheel as far forward as a comfortable driving position allows. Each belt is intended for one person only! To release the belt: Press the red button in the lock and allow the reel to retract the belt. If the belt is not completely retracted, feed in the belt manually to prevent it from hanging loose. 10 Seat belts and belt tensioners Seat belts and belt tensioners Each seat belt is equipped with a belt tensioner. A small mechanism integrated in the inertia reel is triggered at the moment of impact and tightens the belt around the body to reduce the slack caused by soft clot ...
