Drive-E ‒ purer driving pleasure
Volvo is committed to the well-being of its customers. As a natural part of this commit-ment, we care about the environment inwhich we all live. Concern for the environ-ment means an everyday involvement inreducing our environmental impact.
Volvo's environmental activities are based on a holistic view, which means we consider theoverall environmental impact of a productthroughout its complete life cycle. In this con-text, design, production, product use, andrecycling are all important considerations. Inproduction, Volvo has partly or completelyphased out several chemicals including CFCs,lead chromates, asbestos, and cadmium; andreduced the number of chemicals used in ourplants 50% since 1991. Volvo was the first in the world to introduce into production a three-way catalytic converterwith a Lambda sond, now called the heatedoxygen sensor, in 1976. The current version ofthis highly efficient system reduces emissionsof harmful substances (CO, HC, NOx) from theexhaust pipe by approximately 95 - 99% andthe search to eliminate the remaining emis-sions continues. Volvo is the only automobilemanufacturer to offer CFC-free retrofit kits forthe air conditioning system of all models as farback as the 1975 model 240. Advanced elec-tronic engine controls and cleaner fuels arebringing us closer to our goal. In addition to continuous environmental refinement of con-ventional gasoline-powered internal combus-tion engines, Volvo is actively looking atadvanced technology alternative-fuel vehicles. When you drive a Volvo, you become our part- ner in the work to lessen the vehicle's impacton the environment. To reduce your vehicle'senvironmental impact, you can:
Maintain proper air pressure in your tires.Tests have shown decreased fuel econ-omy with improperly inflated tires.
Follow the recommended maintenanceschedule in your Warranty and ServiceRecords Information booklet.
Drive at a constant speed whenever possi-ble.
See a trained and qualified Volvo servicetechnician as soon as possible for inspec-tion if the check engine (malfunction indi-cator) light illuminates, or stays on afterthe vehicle has started.
Properly dispose of any vehicle-relatedwaste such as used motor oil, used batter-ies, brake pads, etc.
When cleaning your vehicle, please usegenuine Volvo car care products. All Volvocar care products are formulated to beenvironmentally friendly.

Starting the vehicle when it is in safety mode
1. Check the vehicle for damage, particularlyfor fuel leakage. Make sure you do not detect any gasoline fumes. If the damage to the vehicle is minor and there is no fuel leakage/fumes, you mayattempt to start the engine.
WARNING
Never attempt to restart the vehicle if you smell fuel fumes when the message Safety
mode See Owner's manual is displayed
in the instrument panel. Leave the vehicle immediately.
2. Switch off the ignition. 3. Then try to start the vehicle.
> The vehicle's electrical system will per-form a system check and then attempt to reset to normal operating mode.
CAUTION
If the message Safety mode See

vehicle should not be driven or towed behind another vehicle. If the vehicle needsto be moved, it must be towed on a towtruck. Even if no damage is apparent, theremay be hidden damage that could makethe vehicle impossible to control.
Moving the vehicle when it is in safety mode
1. If the message Normal mode The car is
now in normal mode is displayed after
attempting to start the engine, the vehicle may be moved carefully from its presentposition if, for example, it is blocking traf-fic.
2. Do not move the vehicle farther than abso- lutely necessary.

Brake Assist System The brake enhancing system, (BAS 3
), helps
increase braking force and can thereby reduce braking distance.
The system monitors the driver's braking hab- its and increases braking force when neces-sary. Braking force can be increased up to thepoint at which the ABS intervenes.
NOTE
When BAS is activated, depress and hold down the brake pedal as long as needed.
