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.
Twin Engine vehicles
If possible, precondition the vehicle withthe charging cable before driving.
If preconditioning is not possible in coldweather, use the seat and steering wheelheating primarily. Avoid heating the entirepassenger compartment, which reducesthe hybrid battery's charge level.
Choose the
Pure drive mode to help mini-
mize electric power consumption.
In hilly terrain, put the gear selector in mode
B to utilize the electric motor's
braking function when the acceleratorpedal is released. This helps charge thehybrid battery.

Data recording As part of Volvo's commitment to safety and quality, certain information is recorded regar-ding vehicle operation, functionality and inci-dents.
US market only:
EDR
This vehicle is equipped with an "Event Data Recorder" (EDR). The main purpose of an EDRis to record, in certain crash or near crash-likesituations, such as an air bag deployment orhitting a road obstacle, data that will assist inunderstanding how a vehicle's systemsperformed. The EDR is designed to recorddata related to vehicle dynamics and safetysystems for a short period of time, typically 30seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle isdesigned to record such data as:
How various systems in your vehicle wereoperating;
Whether or not the driver and passengersafety belts were buckled/fastened;
How far (if at all) the driver wasdepressing the accelerator and/or brakepedal; and,
How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a betterunderstanding of the circumstances in whichcrashes and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR dataare recorded by your vehicle only if a non- trivial crash situation occurs; no data arerecorded by the EDR under normal drivingconditions and no personal data (e.g., name,gender, age, and crash location) are recorded.However, other parties, such as lawenforcement, could combine the EDR datawith the type of personally identifying dataroutinely acquired during a crash investigation. To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to thevehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition tothe vehicle manufacturer, other parties, suchas law enforcement, that have the specialequipment, can read the information if theyhave access to the vehicle or the EDR.
ASDR

This data recorder canrecord information related to the usage of thecar, functional errors and active safetyactuations (e.g. auto brake). The informationsaved is used by technicians for service andmaintenance to diagnose and repair possiblefaults that has occurred in the vehicle and tofulfil certain legal requirements. The registereddata can also, in congregated form, be usedfor research- and product development –purposes to continuously improve the safetyand quality of Volvo Cars.
