Volvo Cars' environmental philosophy
Your Volvo complies with strict international environmental standards and is also manufac-tured in one of the cleanest and mostresource-efficient plants in the world.
G000000
Environmental care is one of Volvo Car Cor- poration's core values which influence alloperations. We also believe that our custom-ers share our consideration for the environ-ment. Your Volvo complies with strict international environmental standards and is also manu-factured in one of the cleanest and mostresource-efficient plants in the world. VolvoCar Corporation has global ISO certification,which includes the environmental standardISO 14001 covering all factories and severalof our other units. We also set requirements for our partners so that they work systemati-cally with environmental issues.
Fuel consumptionVolvo cars have competitive fuel consump-tion in each of their respective classes. Lowerfuel consumption generally results in loweremission of the greenhouse gas, carbon diox-ide. It is possible for the driver to influence fuel consumption. For more information readunder the heading,
Reducing environmental
impact .
Efficient emission controlYour Volvo is manufactured following theconcept "Clean inside and out" – a conceptthat encompasses a clean interior environ-ment as well as highly efficient emission con-trol. In many cases the exhaust emissions arewell below the applicable standards.
Clean air in the passenger
compartment
A passenger compartment filter prevents dustand pollen from entering the passenger com-partment via the air intake.

20* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
A sophisticated air quality system, IAQS* (Interior Air Quality System) ensures that theincoming air is cleaner than the air in the traf-fic outside. The system consists of an electronic sensor and a carbon filter. The incoming air is moni-tored continuously and if there is an increasein the level of certain unhealthy gases such ascarbon monoxide then the air intake isclosed. Such a situation may arise in heavytraffic, queues and tunnels for example. The entry of nitrous oxides, ground-level ozone and hydrocarbons is prevented by thecarbon filter.
InteriorThe interior of a Volvo is designed to be plea-sant and comfortable, even for people withcontact allergies and for asthma sufferers.Extreme attention has been given to choosingenvironmentally-compatible materials.
Volvo workshops and the environmentRegular maintenance creates the conditionsfor a long service life and low fuel consump-tion for your car. In this way you contribute toa cleaner environment. When Volvo's work-shops are entrusted with the service andmaintenance of your car it becomes part ofour system. Volvo makes clear demandsregarding the way in which our workshopsare designed in order to prevent spills anddischarges into the environment. Our work-shop staff have the knowledge and the tools required to guarantee good environmentalcare.
Reducing environmental impactYou can easily help reduce environmentalimpact - here are a few tips: •
Avoid letting the engine idle - switch off the engine when stationary for longerperiods. Pay attention to local regula-tions.
• Drive economically - think ahead.
• Perform service and maintenance inaccordance with the owner's manual'sinstructions - follow the intervals recom-mended in the Service and WarrantyBooklet.
• If the car is equipped with an engineblock heater*, use it before starting fromcold - it improves starting capacity andreduces wear in cold weather and theengine reaches normal operating tem-perature more quickly, which lowers con-sumption and reduces emissions.
• High speed increases consumption con-siderably due to increased wind resis-tance - a doubling of speed increaseswind resistance 4 times.
• Always dispose of environmentally hazar-dous waste, such as batteries and oils, inan environmentally safe manner. Consulta workshop in the event of uncertaintyabout how this type of waste should bediscarded - an authorised Volvo work-shop is recommended. Following this advice can save money, the planet's resources are saved, and the car'sdurability is extended. For more informationand further advice, see Eco guide (p. 63),Economical driving (p. 305) and Fuel con-sumption (p. 403).
RecyclingAs a part of Volvo's environmental work, it isimportant that the car is recycled in an envi-ronmentally sound manner. Almost all of thecar can be recycled. The last owner of the caris therefore requested to contact a dealer forreferral to a certified/approved recyclingfacility.

Trip computer - supplementary information
The car's trip computer can record, calculate and show information while driving. Supple-mentary information of several functions fol-lows below.
AverageAverage fuel consumption is calculated fromthe last resetting.
NOTE
There may be a slight error in the reading if a fuel-driven heater* has been used.
Average speedThe average speed is calculated for the driv- ing distance driven since the last reset tozero.
InstantaneousThe information for current fuel consumptionis updated continuously - approximately onceper second. When the car is driven at lowspeed the consumption is shown per timeunit - at a higher speed it is shown related tomileage. Different units (km/miles) can be selected for the display - see the section "Change unit" (p.112).
Range - distance to empty tankThe trip computer shows the approximatedistance that can be driven with the fuelquantity remaining in the tank. No guaranteed range remains when the head- ing
Distance to empty shows "----".
–In which case, refuel as soon as possible.
The calculation is based on the average fuel consumption over the last 30 km and theremaining driveable fuel quantity.
NOTE
There may be a slight error in the reading if the driving style has been changed.
An economic driving style generally results in a longer driving distance. For more informa-tion on how fuel consumption can be influ-enced, see Volvo Car Corporation 's Environ-mental Philosophy (p. 19).
Digital speed display 29The speed is shown in the opposite unit(kmh/mph) in relation to the main instrument.If it is calibrated in mph then the trip com-puter shows the corresponding speed inkm/h and vice versa.

Loading - long load
To simplify loading (p. 142) in the cargo area, the rear seat backrest can be folded down.The passenger seat backrest can also be folded for an extra long load2
.
Lowering the rear seat backrestTo simplify loading in the cargo area, the rear seat backrest can be folded down, see Seats,rear (p. 74).
Roof load
The load carriers recommended for roof loads are the ones developed by Volvo. This is inorder to avoid damage to the car and in orderto achieve the maximum possible safety dur-ing a journey. Carefully follow the installation instructions supplied with the carriers.
• Check periodically that the load carriers and load are properly secured. Lash theload securely with retaining straps.
• Distribute the load evenly over the loadcarriers. Put the heaviest objects at thebottom.
• The size of the area exposed to the wind,and therefore fuel consumption, increasewith the size of the load.
• Drive gently. Avoid quick acceleration,heavy braking and hard cornering.
WARNING
The car's centre of gravity and driving cha- racteristics are altered by roof loads. Forinformation about the maximum allowableload on the roof, including load carriersand any space box, Weights (p. 390).

Starting the engine – Flexifuel
Flexifuel engines can be driven on 95 octane unleaded petrol and bioethanol E85. Theengine is started in the same way as in a pet-rol-driven car.
Engine block heater*
Electrical input to the engine block heater.
Cars intended for E85 have an electric engine block heater. Starting and driving with a pre-heated engine means significantly reducedemissions and reduced fuel consumption. Forthis reason you should aim to use the engineblock heater throughout the winter months. • In outside temperatures between +5 °C and -10 °C, the electric engineblock heater should be activated for atleast 1 hour.
• In outside temperatures between-10 °C and -20 °C, the electric engine block heater should be activated for atleast 2 hours.
• In outside temperatures lower than-20 °C, the electric engine block heatershould be activated for at least 3 hours.
WARNING
The engine block heater is powered by high voltage. Fault tracing and repair of anelectric engine block heater and its electri-cal connections must only be carried outby a workshop - an authorised Volvo work-shop is recommended.
NOTE
Points to remember for carrying reserve fuel:
• In the event of stalling due to an empty fuel tank, bioethanol E85 from areserve fuel can may make the enginedifficult to start in extreme cold. This isavoided by filling the reserve fuel canwith 95 octane petrol.
For more information on Flexifuel's bioethanol E85 fuel, see Fuel - bioethanol E85 (p. 304).
In the event of starting difficultiesIf the engine does not start at the first startattempt: •
Make further attempts to start with the START/STOP ENGINE
button.
• Check that the engine block heater hasbeen activated and, where appropriate,activate it for the time specified above.
IMPORTANT
If the engine does not start despite repea- ted start attempts, you are recommendedto contact an authorised Volvo workshop.
Fuel adaptationFlexifuel engines can be driven on both 95 octane unleaded petrol and bioethanol E85.Both fuels are filled in the common fuel tankso that any variations of mixing ratiosbetween these two fuels is possible. If the fuel tank is filled with petrol after the car has been driven on bioethanol E85 (or viceversa) then the engine may run slightlyunevenly for a time. For this reason it isimportant to allow the engine to accustomitself (adapt) to the new fuel mixture. Adaptation takes place automatically when the car is driven for a short period at an evenspeed.

The foot brake can be released before setting off or reversing uphill - the HSA (Hill StartAssist) function means that the car does notroll backwards. The function means that the pedal pressure in the brake system remains for several secondswhile the driver's foot is moved from brakepedal to accelerator pedal. The temporary braking effect releases after several seconds or when the driver acceler-ates.

Start/Stop*
Some engine and gearbox combinations come fitted with a Start and Stop functionwhich engages in the event of e.g. stationarytraffic or waiting at traffic lights - the engine isthen switched off temporarily and restartsautomatically when the journey is due to con-tinue. Environmental care is one of Volvo Car Cor- poration's core values which guides all ouractivities. This target orientation has resultedin several separate energy-saving functions ofwhich Start/Stop is one, all with the collectivetask of reducing fuel consumption, which inturn helps to reduce exhaust emissions.
General information about Start/Stop
The engine is switched off - it becomes quieter and cleaner.
