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 in
which we all live. Concern for the environ-
ment means an everyday involvement in
reducing our environmental impact.

Volvo's environmental activities are based on a
holistic view, which means we consider the
overall environmental impact of a product
throughout its complete life cycle. In this con-
text, design, production, product use, and
recycling are all important 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 sensor, 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 emis-
sions 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 elec-
tronic engine controls and cleaner fuels are
bringing us closer to our goal. In addition to

continuous environmental refinement of con-
ventional gasoline-powered internal combus-
tion engines, Volvo is actively looking at
advanced technology alternative-fuel vehicles.

When you drive a Volvo, you become our part-
ner in the work to lessen the vehicle's impact
on the environment. To reduce your vehicle's
environmental impact, you can:

•

Maintain proper air pressure in your tires.
Tests have shown decreased fuel econ-
omy with improperly inflated tires.

•

Follow the recommended maintenance
schedule in your Warranty and Service
Records Information booklet.

•

Drive at a constant speed whenever possi-
ble.

•

See a trained and qualified Volvo service
technician as soon as possible for inspec-
tion if the check engine (malfunction indi-
cator) light illuminates, or stays on after
the vehicle has started.

•

Properly dispose of any vehicle-related
waste such as used motor oil, used batter-
ies, brake pads, etc.

•

When cleaning your vehicle, please use
genuine Volvo car care products. All Volvo
car care products are formulated to be
environmentally friendly.

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 EDR
is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like
situations, such as an air bag deployment or
hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in
understanding how a vehicle's systems
performed. The EDR is designed to record
data related to vehicle dynamics and safety
systems for a short period of time, typically 30
seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is
designed to record such data as:

•

How various systems in your vehicle were
operating;

•

Whether or not the driver and passenger
safety belts were buckled/fastened;

•

How far (if at all) the driver was
depressing the accelerator and/or brake
pedal; and,

•

How fast the vehicle was traveling.

These data can help provide a better
understanding of the circumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data
are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-

trivial crash situation occurs; no data are
recorded by the EDR under normal driving
conditions and no personal data (e.g., name,
gender, age, and crash location) are recorded.
However, other parties, such as law
enforcement, could combine the EDR data
with the type of personally identifying data
routinely acquired during a crash investigation.

To read data recorded by an EDR, special
equipment is required, and access to the
vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to
the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such
as law enforcement, that have the special
equipment, can read the information if they
have access to the vehicle or the EDR.

ASDR

This vehicle is equipped with an Active Safety
Data Recorder (ASDR). This data recorder can
record information related to the usage of the
car, functional errors and active safety
actuations (e.g. auto brake). The information
saved is used by technicians for service and
maintenance to diagnose and repair possible
faults that has occurred in the vehicle and to
fulfil certain legal requirements. The registered
data can also, in congregated form, be used
for research- and product development –
purposes to continuously improve the safety
and quality of Volvo Cars. For more
information contact your local Volvo retailer.

Canadian market only:

This vehicle is equipped with an “Event Data
Recorder” (EDR). The main purpose of the
EDR is to register and record data in traffic
accidents or accident-like situations, e.g. if an
airbag deploys or if the vehicle hits an obstacle
in the road. This data is recorded in order to
help understand how the vehicle's systems
perform in these types of situations. The EDR
is designed to record data related to vehicle
dynamics and safety systems for a short
period of time, usually 30 seconds or less.

The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record
data in traffic accidents or accident-like situa-
tions such as:

•

How the various systems in the vehicle
performed;

•

Whether the driver and passenger seat
belts were tightened/buckled;

•

The driver's use of the accelerator/brake
pedal;

•

How fast the vehicle was moving.

This data can help provide a better under-
standing of the circumstances in which traffic
accidents and injuries occur. The EDR records
data only if a non-trivial accident situation
occurs. EDR does not record any data during
normal driving conditions. The system also
never registers data on who is driving the vehi-
cle or the geographical location of the acci-

dent or near-accident. However, other parties,
such as law enforcement, could combine the
EDR data with the type of personally identifia-
ble information that is routinely acquired dur-
ing an accident investigation. Special equip-
ment and access to either the vehicle or the
EDR is required to read this recorded data.

In addition to the EDR, the vehicle is equipped
with a number of computers that continuously
control and monitor the vehicle's performance.
These computers may record data during nor-
mal driving conditions, particularly if they
detect a fault relating to the vehicle's opera-
tion and functionality or upon activation of the
vehicle's active driver support functions (e.g.
City Safety or the auto-brake function).

Some of this recorded data is required by
technicians performing service and mainte-
nance in order to diagnose and rectify any
faults that may have occurred in the vehicle.
The recorded information is also needed to
enable Volvo to fulfill legal and other regula-
tory requirements. Information registered in
the vehicle is stored in its computers until the
vehicle is serviced or repaired.

In addition to the above, the recorded informa-
tion may be used in aggregated form for
research and product development purposes
in order to continuously improve the safety
and quality of Volvo vehicles.

Volvo will not provide this information to any
third parties without the vehicle owner's con-
sent. However, national legislation and regula-
tions may require Volvo to disclose this type of
information to law enforcement or other
authorities that can claim a legal right to the
information. Special technical equipment,
which Volvo and workshops that have entered
agreements with Volvo have access to, is
required to read and interpret the recorded
data. Volvo is responsible for ensuring that
information provided to Volvo in conjunction
with service and maintenance is stored and
handled securely and in compliance with
applicable legal requirements. For more infor-
mation, please contact a Volvo retailer.

Vehicle Connectivity Module (VCM
High)

Vehicles equipped with VCM High can collect
data on the vehicle's safety functions as well
as other functions in the vehicle. This data is
collected for product development, quality fol-
low-up, safety work and to improve and moni-
tor the vehicle's quality and its safety func-
tions. Data is also collected in order to man-
age Volvo Cars' warranty commitments and to
comply with legal requirements related to
engine emission data.

Volvo Structural Parts Statement

Volvo is one of the leading companies for car
safety.

Volvo engineers and manufactures vehicles
designed to help protect vehicle occupants in
the event of a collision.

Volvos are designed to absorb the impact of a
collision. This energy absorption system
including, but not limited to, structural compo-
nents such as bumper reinforcement bars,
bumper energy absorbers, frames, rails, fender
aprons, A-pillars, B-pillars and body panels
must work together to maintain cabin integrity
and protect the vehicle occupants.

The supplemental restraint system including
but not limited to air bags, side curtain air
bags, and deployment sensors work together
with the above components to provide proper
timing for air bag deployment.

Due to the above, Volvo Car USA does not
support the use of aftermarket, alternative or
anything other than original Volvo parts for
collision repair.

Volvo Car USA also recommends using Volvo-
approved replacement glass. The use of after-
market glass, particularly a windshield, can
have an adverse effect on collision avoidance
and advanced lighting systems.

In addition Volvo does not support the use or
re-use of structural components from an exist-
ing vehicle that has been previously damaged.
Although these parts may appear equivalent, it
is difficult to tell if the parts have been previ-
ously replaced with non-OE parts or if the part
has been damaged as a result of a prior colli-
sion. The quality of these used parts may also
have been affected due to environmental
exposure.

Driver distraction

A driver has a responsibility to do everything
possible to ensure his or her own safety and
the safety of passengers in the vehicle and
others sharing the roadway. Part of this
responsibility is avoiding distractions, includ-
ing performing activities that are not directly
related to controlling the vehicle in the driving
environment.

Your new Volvo is, or can be, equipped with
feature-rich entertainment and communica-
tion systems. These include hands-free cellular
telephones, navigation systems, and multipur-
pose audio systems. You may also own other
portable electronic devices for your own con-
venience. When used properly and safely, they
enrich the driving experience. Improperly used,
