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 clothes or the like. This helps the belt to catch the occupant more effectively. WARNING! If the belt has been subjected to a heavy load, such as in a collision, the entire belt including reel, mounting, bolts and buckle must be replaced. Even if the belt seems undamaged, some of its protective properties may have been lost. The belt should also be replaced if it is worn or damaged. The new belt should be type approved and intended for the same seat as the belt being replaced. Never modify or repair the belt yourself. Entrust this work to an authorised Volvo workshop. Label on seat belts with belt tensioner 11 Airbags (SRS) Right-hand drive 8802099m Left-hand drive 8801907e 8801889e 8802092M Location of the front passenger airbag Airbag (SRS) on the driver's side To further increase interior safety, your car is equipped with an airbag (SRS*) to complement the three-point seat belt. The inflatable airbag is folded into the centre of the steering wheel. The steering wheel is marked SRS AIRBAG. Because it is mounted in the steering wheel, the airbag on the driver's side is smaller than that of the passenger side. Airbag (SRS) on the passenger side (option) The front passenger airbag is folded into a compartment above the glovebox. The panel is marked SRS AIRBAG. WARNING! Airbags (SRS) are designed to provide additional protection and do not replace seat belts. For maximum safety: Always use a seat belt. WARNING! Do not attach clips or any other equipment to the dashboard or steering wheel! This can result in injury and/or compromise the intended protection of the airbag when it is inflated. * Supplemental Restraint System. 12 Airbag (SRS) WARNING! Airbag (SRS) - passenger side · Never place a child in a child seat or on a booster cushion in the front seat if the airbag (SRS) is activated*. · Never allow a child to stand or sit in front of the front passenger seat. · No one shorter than 140 cm should sit in the front seat if the airbag (SRS) is activated*. Failure to follow the advice given above can endanger the life of the child. 3800776m WARNING! Airbag (SRS) - passenger side · Passengers should sit as upright as possible with their feet on the floor and backs against the backrests. Seat belts should be secured. · No objects or accessories may be positioned or stuck on or near the SRS panel (above the glovebox) or in the area affected by the airbag. · Do not place loose objects on the floor, seat, or on the dashboard. · Never modify the airbag system. Only an authorised Volvo workshop may carry out repairs. Warning lamp in the combined instrument panel The airbag system is continually monitored by its sensor/control module and its warning lamp is located in the combined instrument panel. This lamp illuminates when the ignition key is turned to position I, II or III and goes out once the sensor/control module has checked that the airbag system is fault-free. This usually takes approx. 7 seconds. WARNING! If the airbag warning lamp remains lit or lights while driving, the airbag system is not fully functional. The symbol can indicate a fault in the seat belt, SRS, SIPS or IC system. Contact an authorised Volvo workshop as soon as possible. * For information on activated/deactivated airbag (SRS), see page 16. 13 Airbags (SRS) WARNING! Never attempt to repair any part of the airbag system yourself. Any interference in the system could cause malfunction and serious injury. Any work should only be performed by an authorised Volvo workshop. 8803418d 8803417d SRS system, left-hand drive SRS system, right-hand drive NOTE! The sensor reacts differently depending on the collision and whether the front passenger and/or driver's seat belts were in use. It is therefore important that you always lock your seat belt into the correct buckle. Because of the aforementioned factors, certain accidents may only trigger one (or no) airbag. Airbag (SRS system) The system consists of a gas generator surrounded by the inflatable airbag. If there is a collision of sufficient severity, a sensor reacts by activating the gas generator igniter thereby inflating the airbag. As the airbag is compressed, it empties to provide better cushioning. This generates a great deal of smoke in the car, which is entirely normal. The entire process, including inflation and deflation of the airbag, takes a few tenths of a second. Airbags (SRS) Because of the function of the airbags, their capacities are adapted to the collision force to which the vehicle is subjected. 14 SRS (airbag) and SIPS airbag (side airbag) Never place a child in the front seat if the car is equipped with an activated* airbag (SRS) on the passenger side (child refers to anyone 140 cm or shorter). The child should instead be seated in a child seat or booster cushion on the rear seat. WARNING! Never place a child in a child seat or on a booster cushion in the front seat if the car has an activated* front passenger airbag (SRS). Failure to follow this advice could endanger the life of the child. 8801909e 8801908e Airbags and child seats are not compatible! Inflated SIPS airbag Child seat and airbag (SRS) The child could be seriously injured if sitting in a child seat or on a booster cushion that is placed in the front seat of a car with an activated* front passenger airbag. The rear seat is the safest place for a child in a child seat/booster cushion if the car is equipped with an activated* front passenger airbag. SIPS airbag The SIPS airbag system is an electronic system consisting of two main components: the side airbag and the sensors. The side airbags are mounted in the backrest frames of the front seats while the sensors are located inside the centre and rear pillars. If there is a collision of sufficient force, the sensors react, activating the gas generator which inflates the side airbag. The airbag inflates between the occupant and the door panel, emptying as it is compressed to provide cushioning at the moment of impact. The side airbag only inflates on side of the car affected by the impact. Child seat and SIPS airbag The side airbag does not diminish the protection provided by the car to children seated in a child seat. A child seat or booster cushion can be placed on the front passenger seat provided that the car does not have an activated* passenger airbag. * For information on activated/deactivated airbag (SRS), see page 16. 15 Activating/deactivating the front passenger airbag (SRS) (option) WARNING! Activated airbag (passenger seat): Never place a child in a child seat or on a booster cushion in the front passenger seat. This also applies to persons shorter than 140 cm. Deactivated airbag (passenger seat): Persons taller than 140 cm must not sit in the passenger seat. Failure to follow the advice given above can endanger life. 8803403m 8803406m Indicator showing that the passenger airbag (SRS) is deactivated. PACOS (Passenger Airbag Cut Off Switch) WARNING! If the car is equipped with a front passenger airbag (SRS), but does not have PACOS, the airbag will always be activated. PACOS (option) The airbag (SRS) for the front passenger seat can be deactivated. This is necessary if a child seat is to be placed there. Activating/deactivating The switch is located on the passenger end of the dashboard and is accessible when the passenger door is open. Check that the switch is in the required position. Volvo recommends that that the ignition key is used to change position. (Other items with a shape similar to a key can be used.) Indicator A text message in the rearview mirror indicates that the passenger airbag (SRS) is deactivated. 16 Activating/deactivating the passenger airbag (SRS) (option), cont. WARNING! Do not allow anyone to sit in the front passenger seat if the text message in the rearview mirror indicates that the airbag (SRS) is deactivated and the airbag warning symbol is displayed in the combined instrument panel. This indicates that there has been a severe malfunction. Contact an authorised Volvo workshop as soon as possible. 8803405m 8803404m Which position should the switch be set to? ON = Airbag (SRS) activated. With the switch in this position, anyone over 140 cm can sit in the front passenger seat never a child in a child seat or booster cushion. OFF = Airbag (SRS) is deactivated With the switch in this position, a child in a child seat or booster cushion can sit in the front passenger seat - never anyone over 140 cm. 17 IC system (Inflatable Curtain) 8802259m 8802260n IC system (Inflatable Curtains) The IC system protects the head from blows against the car interior. The curtain also protects against objects that the car is in collision with. The IC system protects both those travelling in the front and outer rear seats. The curtain is hidden inside the headlining. The IC system - inflatable curtains - covers the upper part of the car interior next to the front and rear seats. The IC system is activated by the SIPS system collision sensors, when the car is hit from the side. When the IC system is activated the curtain is filled with gas from the gas generator, which is located in the rear end of the curtain. WARNING! · Do not screw or mount anything to the headlining, door pillars or side panels. The intended protection may be compromised. · When the rear seat backrest is folded down, do not load objects higher than 50 mm from the top edge of the rear passenger door window. Otherwise, the protection offered by the inflatable curtain hidden inside the headlining will be compromised. Always use the safety belts! If there are rear seat passengers, make sure the outer head restraints are upright and that the centre head restraint is correctly adjusted for anyone sitting there. 18 WHIPS (Whiplash Protection System) WARNING! Never obstruct WHIPS system functions! If a rear backrest has been lowered, adjust the corresponding front seat in order to avoid contact with the lowered backrest. Avoid placing boxes or similar cargo so that they are clamped between the rear seat cushion and the front seat backrest. 8502213e 8502379e WHIPS This system consists of energy absorbing backrests and specially developed head restraints in both front seats. WHIPS seat WHIPS is activated in event of a collision from behind, based on the collision angle, speed and nature of the colliding vehicle. Upon activation the backrests of the front seats, if occupied, move backwards and the seating position of the occupants in the front seats is altered. This diminishes the risk of whiplash injury. Correct seating position For the best possible protection, you and your front seat passenger should sit in the centre of your seats with as little distance as possible between the head restraints and your heads. WHIPS and child seat The WHIPS system does not diminish the protection provided by the car to children seated in a child seat/booster cushion. Provided there is no activated* passenger airbag (SRS), a child seat/booster cushion can be placed on the front passenger seat. The WHIPS system stills functions if a rear-facing child seat is placed on the rear seat, supported against the front seat backrest. WARNING! If the seat has been exposed to a heavy load strain, for example a collision, the WHIPS system should be inspected at an authorised workshop. Even if the seat does not appear damaged the WHIPS system may have deployed without causing visible damage to the seat. Parts of the WHIPS protective capacity may have been lost. Allow an authorised Volvo workshop to check the system even after minor collision from behind. Never modify or repair the seat or the WHIPS system yourself! * For information on activated/deactivated airbag (SRS), see page 16. 19 SRS (airbag), SIPS bag (side airbag) and Inflatable Curtain (IC) When do the airbags and curtain inflate? The SRS system senses the collision in the level of braking and the speed reduction caused by the collision. The sensor determines whether the collision is of the character and nature requiring airbag deployment. Note that it is not only the deformation of the bodywork which affects the car's sensors but also the speed reduction at the moment of impact. This means that SRS sensor senses those occasions when there is a risk that occupants in the front seats may be injured by blows against the dashboard or steering wheel. The above applies to the SIPS system (side airbags), and inflatable curtains except that side impact airbags and inflatable curtains are only deployed in side-on collisions, when the car is hit by an object with sufficient force. NOTE! Deployment of the SRS, SIPS and IC systems occurs only once in a collision in the relevant direction. If the airbags have been deployed, we recommend the following: · Tow the car to a Volvo workshop. Do not drive the car with the airbags deployed even if the car can be driven after an accident. · Let an authorised Volvo workshop replace components to the SRS, SIPS, and IC systems. WARNING! The SRS sensors are located in the centre console. If the passenger compartment floor has been drenched with water, remove the battery leads in the cargo compartment. Do not try to start the car; the airbags may deploy. Tow the car to an authorised Volvo workshop. WARNING! Never drive with deployed airbags! They can hinder the steering of your car. Other safety systems may also be damaged. Intensive exposure to the smoke and dust released when the airbags are deployed can cause eye and skin irritation. If irritated, wash with cold water and/or contact a doctor. The speed of deployment can, in conjunction with the airbag fabric, cause friction burns to the skin. 20 Brake system/ABS/EBD If a brake circuit fails If a fault should occur in one of the circuits it is still possible to stop the car. Press the pedal hard once - not repeatedly. The brake pedal can be depressed further and feels a little softer than usual. If also requires more pressure on the pedal to achieve a normal braking effect. The brake servo only works when the engine is running If the car is rolling or being towed with the engine switched off you must apply approximately five times more pressure on the brake pedal than when the engine is running. The brake pedal feels rigid and hard. Moisture on the brake discs and brake lining alter braking characteristics! The brake components become wet when the car is driven in heavy rain, through pools of water, or when the car is washed. This alters brake pad friction characteristics so that there is a delay before braking effect is noticed. Depress the brake pedal lightly from time to time when driving long distances in rain or slush or before parking the car in such conditions. The brake pads are thus able to warm up and dry out. You should also do this when driving after washing the car or when starting in very damp or cold weather conditions. If the brakes are heavily loaded When driving in the Alps or other roads with similar characteristics, the brakes are heavily loaded even if you are not pressing the pedal particularly hard. Because the speed is often low the brakes are not cooled as effectively as when driving on flat roads. So as not to overload the brakes shift down and use the same gear both uphill and downhill instead of using the brake (manual transmission). In this way engine braking is used more effectively and the brake is only required for short periods. Keep in mind that the brakes are even more heavily loaded when driving with a trailer. After the engine has started and reached a speed of about 20 km/h (12 mph), a short self-test can be both heard and felt. When the ABS system functions, you can hear and feel pulses in the brake pedal. This is completely normal. NOTE! You must depress the brake pedal fully to take maximum advantage of the ABS system. Do not release the pedal when the ABS pulses are felt and heard. Practice braking with the ABS system in a suitable place. The ABS symbol shines with a steady light: · For approximately two seconds when you start the car to test the system. · If the ABS system has shut down due to a fault. ABS - Anti-lock brakes The ABS system (Anti-lock Braking System) is designed so that the wheels do not lock when braking. This retains the best possible steering response when braking. This improves your ability to swerve to avoid obstacles. The ABS system does not increase your total braking capacity. However, as the driver you have increased ability to steer and thus better control over the car, which in turn increases safety. 21 Brake system/ABS/EBD Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) The EBD system (Electronic Brakeforce Distribution) is an integrated part of the ABS system. The EBD system controls the brake force to the rear wheels so that the best possible braking force is always available. Pulses in the brake pedal can be felt and heard as the system controls the brake force. Emergency Brake Assistance (EBA) The Emergency Brake Assistance (EBA) function is integrated in the DSTC system and is designed to provide immediate maximum brake force whenever rapid braking is necessary. The system detects the need for heavier braking by registering how quickly the brake pedal is depressed. The EBA function is active at all speeds. For safety reasons, it cannot be switched off. When the EBA function is activated, the brake pedal sinks while maximum braking force is applied. Continue braking without releasing the brake pedal. The EBA function disengages when the pressure on the brake pedal is released. WARNING! If both the BRAKE and ABS warning symbols are lit up there is a risk that the rear end will have a tendency to slide during heavy braking. If the level in the brake fluid reservoir is normal, drive carefully to the nearest authorised Volvo workshop to have the brake system checked. If the level of brake fluid in the reservoir is below the MIN mark, the car should not be driven until the brake fluid has been topped up. The reason for the loss of brake fluid must be investigated. 22 Stability system When the stability system is in action, it may seem like the car does not respond normally to acceleration. This is because the system detects the amount of friction on the road surface and allows the different stability system functions to operate. The car is equipped with either STC (Stability and Traction Control) or DSTC (Dynamic Stability and Traction Control). Function/system TC SC AYC STC X X DSTC* X X X Traction Control (TC) The Traction Control function transfers power from the spinning drive wheel to the drive wheel which has grip by braking the spinning drive wheel. To increase forward traction in this situation, it may be necessary to depress the accelerator more than usual. A pulsing sound is heard when Traction Control is working. This is completely normal. The TC function is most active at low speeds. It cannot be deactivated. Spin Control (SC) The Stability Control function prevents the drive wheels from slipping during acceleration. This improves road safety on slippery surfaces. Under certain conditions, such as when driving with snow chains or in deep snow or sand, it may be beneficial to deactivate the SC function to increase traction. This is done with the STC/ DSTC button. Active Yaw Control (AYC) The Active Yaw Control function automatically brakes one or more wheels to stabilise the car in the event of a skid. If the brake pedal were to be depressed in this situation, it would feel more rigid than usual and a pulsing sound would be heard. The AYC function is always active and cannot be deactivated. * Option on certain markets 23 Children in the car Children should sit comfortably and safely Remember that children, regardless of age or size, should always be securely strapped into the car. Never allow a child to sit on the knee of a passenger! Location and equipment must be selected with regard to the weight of the child. Volvo's own child safety equipment is designed for your car. If you select Volvo equipment, you can be sure that the mounting points and attachments are correctly positioned and sufficiently strong. The smallest children should sit in rear-facing seats. These give children up to the age of 3 years maximum protection. NOTE! Many countries have statutory requirements covering where a child may be located in the car. Find out which rules apply in the countries you visit. Important tips! When using other child safety products available on the market it is important that the installation instructions are carefully read and closely followed. These are some points that you should consider: · Child cushions and/or child seats with steel frames or other parts which could press against the seat belt release button must not be used as they could accidentally cause the belt buckle to open. · Volvo has child safety products, which are designed and tested for use in Volvo cars. · The child seat should always be located according to the manufacturer's description. · Do not attach the child seat straps to the seat springs, rails or any of the rails and struts under the seat which may have sharp edges. · Arrange the child seat backrest so that it rests against the dashboard. · Do not allow the top portion of the child seat to rest against the windscreen. · Never place a child seat on the front seat if the car is equipped with an activated* airbag (SRS) on the passenger side. NOTE! If you have difficulties installing the child safety product, contact the manufacturer for clearer installation instructions. WARNING! Never place a child in a child seat or booster cushion on the front seat if the car is equipped with an activated* airbag (SRS) on the passenger side. Failure to follow this advice could endanger the life of the child. * For information on activated/deactivated airbag (SRS), see page 16. 24 Integrated booster cushion for outer seats (option) 1 2 1 2 3 8502798a 8802126a 8502778a Outer seat - raising 1. Pull the handle so that the booster cushion rises up. 2. Grasp the cushion in both hands and move it rearwards. 3. Press the cushion until it locks into place. Check that the seat belt is in contact with the child's body and is not slack or twisted. Make sure that the belt runs correctly over the shoulder and that the lap belt is positioned low down to afford maximum protection. The belt must not touch the child's neck or run below the shoulder. Outer seat - lowering 1. Pull the handle. 2. Move the seat down and press on it until it locks into place. NOTE! Remember to lower the seat cushion first if you want to tip the seat backrest forwards. Volvo's own integrated booster cushions for the outer rear seats are specially designed to provide optimum safety for the child. In combination with the regular seat belts, the booster cushions are approved for children weighing between 15 and 36 kg. 25 Isofix bracket system for child seats (option), accessories WARNING! If the integrated booster cushion has been exposed to heavy load, in a collision for example, the entire booster cushion, including the seat belt and screws, must be replaced. Even if the integrated booster cushion appears undamaged some of the protective properties may have been lost. The booster cushion should also be replaced if it is very worn or damaged. The booster seat cushoin should also be replaced if it is very worn or damaged. Note that cushion replacement must be carried out professionally, because it is important for passenger saftey that the cushion is correctly installed.It is therefore best to entrust replacement and any repairs to your Volvo workshop. If the cushion is so dirty that it requires separate cleaning, the above instructions for replacing and installing the cushion should be followed. Do not alter or add anything to the child seat cushions. 8802408m 8802355m Isofix attachment points Rail Isofix bracket system for child seats The car can be equipped with an Isofix bracket system for child seats in the outer rear seats. Contact your Volvo dealer for further information on child safety equipment. NOTE: Isofix attachment points are located on both outer rear seats. The rail can be moved from one side to the other as needed. Child safety accessories Volvo is well in the lead when it comes to child safety.
