Volvo and the environment
PremAir® (certain models only)
The surface of the radiator in the engine compartment
1 is treated with a special coating called PremAir2. This coating
works as a catalytic converter, converting most of the ground level ozone passing through the radiator into oxygen,
thereby reducing harmful ground-level ozone.
NOTE
If a PremAir -coated radiator needs to be replaced, it should be replaced with another radiator with this coating. If
this is not done, the Malfunction Indicator Light (see page 52
) will illuminate.
1Only U.S. vehicles with engine B5244 S7 (engine code 39 in the VIN)
