Volvo and the environment

Volvo is committed to the well-being of its cus-

tomers. As a natural part of this commitment, we

care about the environment in which we all live.

Concern for the environment means an everyday

involvement in reducing our environmental

impact.

Volvo's environmental activities are based on a

holistic view, which means we consider the over-

all environmental impact of a product throughout

its complete life cycle. In this context, design, pro-

duction, product use, and recycling are all impor-

tant considerations. In production, Volvo has

partly or completely phased out several chemicals

including CFCs, lead chromates, asbestos, and

cadmium; and reduced the number of chemicals

used in our plants 50% since 1991.

Volvo was the first in the world to introduce into

production a three-way catalytic converter with a

Lambda sond, now called the heated oxygen sen-

sor, in 1976. The current version of this highly

efficient system reduces emissions of harmful

substances (CO, HC, NOx) from the exhaust pipe

by approximately 95 – 99% and the search to

eliminate the remaining emissions continues.

Volvo is the only automobile manufacturer to

offer CFC-free retrofit kits for the air conditioning

system of all models as far back as the 1975

model 240. Advanced electronic engine controls

and cleaner fuels are bringing us closer to our

goal. In addition to continuous environmental

refinement of conventional gasoline-powered

internal combustion engines, Volvo is actively

looking at advanced technology alternative-fuel

vehicles.

When you drive a Volvo, you become our partner

in the work to lessen the car's impact on the

environment. To reduce your vehicle's environ-

mental impact, you can:

•

Maintain proper air pressure in your tires.

Tests have shown decreased fuel economy

with improperly inflated tires.

•

Follow the recommended maintenance

schedule in your Warranty and Service

Records Information booklet.

•

Drive at a constant speed whenever possible.

•

See a trained and qualified Volvo service

technician as soon as possible for inspection

if the check engine (malfunction indicator)

light illuminates, or stays on after the vehicle

has started.

•

Properly dispose of any vehicle-related waste

such as used motor oil, used batteries, brake

pads, etc.

•

When cleaning your vehicle, please use gen-

uine Volvo car care products. All Volvo car

care products are formulated to be environ-

mentally friendly.

IntelliSafe—driver support
IntelliSafe is Volvo's philosophy regarding vehi-
cle safety. It encompasses a number of systems,
both standard and optional, that are designed to
help make driving and traveling in a Volvo safer.
Support
Systems that help make driving safer are an inte-
gral part of IntelliSafe. These include optional
features such as Adaptive Cruise Control* that
helps maintain a set distance to a vehicle ahead,
Park Assist Pilot*, which assists in parking the
vehicle, Cross Traffic Alert*, Blind Spot
Information*, etc.
Accident prevention
Systems such as City Safety are designed to
automatically apply the brakes in situations in
which the driver does not have time to react.
Lane Keeping Aid* alerts the drive if the vehicle
inadvertently crosses a lane's/road's side marker
line.
Protection
The vehicle is equipped with e.g., seat belt pre-
tensioners that pull the seat belts taut in critical
situations when there is a collision risk and
numerous airbags designed to help provide cush-
ioning if certain types of collisions should occur.
