Volvo and the environment

olvo is committed to the well being of its customers. As a natural part of this commitment, we care abou

e environment in which we all live. Caring for the environment means an everyday involvement in redu

r environmental impact.

olvo's environmental activities are based on a holistic view, which means we consider the overall

vironmental impact of a product throughout its complete life cycle. In this context, design, production,

oduct use, and recycling are all important considerations.

production, Volvo has partly or completely phased out several chemicals including freons, lead chroma

phtanates, asbestos, mercury and cadmium; and reduced the amount of chemicals used in our plants 50

nce 1991.

olvo was the first in the world to introduce into production a three-way catalytic converter with a Lamb

nd, now called oxygen sensor, in 1976. The current version of this highly efficient system reduces

missions of harmful substances (CO, HC, NOx) from the exhaust pipe by approximately 95% and the se

eliminate the remaining emissions continues. Volvo is the only automobile manufacturer to offer CFC-

trofit kits for the air conditioning system of all models as far back as the 1975 model 240. Advanced

ectronic engine controls, refined purification systems and cleaner fuels are bringing us closer to our goafter Volvo cars and parts have fulfilled their use, recycling is the next critical step in completing the life

cle. The metal content is about 75% of the total weight of a car, which makes the car among the most

cycled industrial products. In order to have efficient and well controlled recycling, many Volvo variants

ve printed dismantling manuals, indicating the weight and material of individual components.

or Volvo, all homogeneous plastic parts weighing more than 1.7 oz. (50 grams) are marked with

ternational symbols that indicate how the component is to be sorted for recycling.

addition to continuous environmental refinement of conventional gasoline-powered internal combustio

gines, Volvo is actively looking at advanced technology alternative-fuel vehicles.

hen you drive a Volvo, you become our partner in the work to lessen the car's impact on the environme

o reduce your vehicle's environmental impact, you can:

Maintain proper air pressure in your tires. Tests have shown decreased fuel economy with improperly

flated tires.

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

oklet.

Drive at a constant speed.

See an authorized Volvo retailer as soon as possible for inspection if the check engine (malfunction

dicator) lamp 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 car, use Volvo's own car care products, all of which have systematically been adap

the environment.

eat belts

ot wearing a seat belt is like believing "It'll never happen to me!" Volvo, the inventor of the three-p

at belt, urges you and all occupants of your car to wear seat belts and ensure that children are prope

strained, using an infant, car or booster seat determined by age, weight and height. Volvo also belie

o child should sit in the front seat of a car.

OTE:Legislation in your state or province may mandate seat belt usage.dditionally, most states and provinces have already made it mandatory for occupants of a car to use

at belts.

o, urging you to "buckle up" is not just our recommendation - legislation in your state or province m

andate seat belt usage. The few seconds it takes to buckle up may one day allow you to say, "It's a

ood thing I was wearing my seat belt."

OTE:A chime will sound several times if the driver has not fastened his/her seat belt.

he seat belts are equipped with tensioners that reduce slack in the seat belts. These tensioners are

ggered in situations where the airbags deploy.

he front seat belts also include a tension reducing device which, in the event of a collision, limits th

ak forces exerted by the seat belt on the occupant.

pg. 3 Safety

uring pregnancy

egnant women should always wear seat belts. Remember that the belt should always be positionedch a way as to avoid any possible pressure on the abdomen. The lap portion of the belt should be

cated low, as shown in the above illustration.

WARNING!

Seat belts:

Never use a seat belt for more than one occupant. Never wear the shoulder portion of the belt und

he arm, behind the back or otherwise out of position. Such use could cause injury in the event of an

accident. As seat belts lose much of their strength when exposed to violent stretching, they should b

eplaced after any collision, even if they appear to be undamaged.

Never repair the belt on your own; have this work done by an authorized Volvo retailer only.

Any device used to induce slack into the shoulder belt portion of the three-point belt system will

have a detrimental effect on the amount of protection available to you in the event of a collision.

The seat back should not be tilted too far back. The shoulder belt must be taut in order to function

properly.

Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the front passenger's seat. We

also recommend that children who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with the seat bel

properly fastened.

OTE: Deployment of SRS components occurs only one time during an accident. In a collision whe

ployment occurs, the airbags and seat belt tensioners activate. Some noise occurs and a small amou

powder is released. The release of the powder may appear as smoke-like matter. This is a normal

aracteristic and does not indicate fire.

OTE: Volvo's dual-threshold, dual-stage airbags use special sensors that are integrated with the fro

at buckles. The point at which the airbag deploys is determined by whether or not the seat belt is beed, as well as the severity of the collision. Collisions can occur where only one of the airbags deplo

the impact is less severe, but severe enough to present a clear injury risk, the dual-stage airbags are

ggered at just 70% of their total capacity. If the impact is more severe, the dual-stage airbags are

ggered at full capacity.

ront airbag (SRS) system

s an enhancement to the three-point seat belt system, your Volvo is equipped with a Supplemental

estraint System (SRS). The Volvo SRS consists of an airbag (2) on both the driver's and passenger'des and seat belt tensioners in both front door pillars. The system is designed to supplement the

otection provided by the three-point seat belt system. All three rear seat belts are also equipped wit

nsioners.

he SRS system is indicated by the "SRS" embossed on the steering wheel pad and above the glove

mpartment, and by decals on both sun visors and on the front and far right side of the dash.

he airbags are folded and located in the steering wheel hub and above the glove compartment.

eployment: The SRS airbags are designed to deploy during certain frontal or front-angular collisio

mpacts, or decelerations, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and object impacted. The

rbags may also deploy in certain non-frontal collisions where rapid deceleration occurs.

he airbag system includes gas generators (1) surrounded by the airbags (2) and front seat belt

nsioners for both of the front seats. To deploy the system, the sensor (3) activates the gas generator

using the airbags to be inflated with nitrogen gas.

s the movement of the seats' occupants compresses the airbags, some of the gas is expelled at a

ntrolled rate to provide better cushioning. Both seat belt tensioners also deploy, minimizing any se

lt slack. The entire process, including inflation and deflation of the airbags, takes approximately tw

nths of a second.

WARNING!

The SRS is designed to help prevent serious injury. Deployment occurs very quickly and with

considerable force. During normal deployment and depending on variables such as seating position

one may experience abrasions, bruises, swellings, or other injuries as a result of airbag(s) deployme

Nevertry to repair any part of the SRS or SIPS bag systems yourself. Any interference in the system

WARNING!

The IC system is a supplement to the Side Impact Protection System. It is not designed to deploy

during collisions from the front or rear of the car or in rollover situations.

Never try to open or repair any components of the IC system. This should be done only by an

authorized Volvo service technician.

The inflatable curtains are designed to deploy only during certain side-impact collisions, depending

on the crash severity, angle, speed and impact. The inflatable curtains are not designed to deploy in

all side impact situations.

n order for the IC to provide its best protection, both front seat occupants and both outboard rear se

occupants should sit in an upright position with the seat belt properly fastened; adults using the seat

belt and children using the proper child restraint system. Only adults should sit in the front seats.

all possible injuries that may occur in an accident.

f your car has been involved in a collision, the front seat backrests must be inspected by an

authorized Volvo retailer even if the seats appear to be undamaged. Certain components in the

WHIPS system may need to be replaced. Do not attempt to service any component in the WHIPS

ystem yourself.

WARNING!

f the rear seat backrests are folded down, cargo must be secured to prevent it from sliding forward

against the front seat backrests in the event of a collision from the rear. This could interfere with theaction of the WHIPS system.

The WHIPS system is designed to function in certain collisions from the rear, depending on the cra

estraint systems for children are designed to be secured in the vehicle by lap belts or the lap portion

ap-shoulder belt. Such child restraint systems can help protect children in cars in the event of an

cident only if they are used properly. However, children could be endangered in a crash if the child

straints are not properly secured in the vehicle. Failure to follow the installation instructions for yo

ild restraint can result in your child striking the vehicle's interior in a sudden stop.

olding a child in your arms is NOT a suitable substitute for a child restraint system. In an accident,

ild held in a person's arms can be crushed between the vehicle's interior and an unrestrained person

creasing the injury of a child.

ll states and provinces have legislation governing how and where children should be carried in a ca

nd out the regulations existing in your state or province. Recent accident statistics have shown that

ildren are safer in rear seating positions than front seating positions when properly restrained. A ch

straint system can help protect a child in a vehicle. Here's what to look for when selecting a child

straint system:

It should have a label certifying that it meets applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards

Make sure the child restraint system is approved for the child's height, weight and development - t

bel required by the standard or regulation, or instructions for infant restraints, typically provide this

formation.

In using any child restraint system, we urge you to carefully look over the instructions that are

ovided with the restraint. Be sure you understand them and can use the device properly and safely i

hild restraint anchoragesolvo cars are equipped with child restraint top tether anchorages in the rear seat. Refer to the child s

anufacturer's instructions for information on securing the child seat.

WARNING!

Child Restraint Anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted

Child Restraints. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts or harnesses. The

anchorages are not able to withstand excessive forces on them in the event of collision if full harneseat belts or adult seat belts are installed to them. An adult who uses a belt anchored in a Child

Restraint Anchorage runs a great risk of suffering severe injuries should a collision occur. Do not

nstall rear speakers which would require the removal of the top tether anchors or interfere with the

proper use of the top tether strap.

novator in safety for over fifty years, and we'll continue to do our part. But we need your help. Plea

member to put your children in the back seat, and buckle them up.

Always wear your seat belt.

Airbags are a SUPPLEMENTAL safety device which, when used with a three-point seat belt can h

duce serious injuries during certain types of accidents. Volvo recommends that you do not disconn

olvo Concern for Safety

afety is the Volvo cornerstone. Our concern dates back to 1927 when the first Volvo rolled off the

oduction line. Three-point seat belts (a Volvo invention), safety cages, and energy-absorbing impa

nes were designed into Volvo cars long before it was fashionable or required by government

gulation. We will not compromise our commitment to safety. We continue to seek out new safety

atures and to refine those already in our cars. You can help. We would appreciate hearing your

ggestions about improving automobile safety. We also want to know if you ever have a safety conc

ith your car. Call us in the U.S. at: 800-458-1552 or in Canada at: 800-663-8255.

ccupant safety

ow safely you drive doesn't depend on how old you are but rather on:

How well you see.

Your ability to concentrate.

How quickly you make decisions under stress to avoid an accident.

he tips listed below are suggestions to help you cope with the ever changing traffic environment.

Never drink and drive.If you are taking any medication, consult your physician about its potential effects on your driving

ilities.

Take a driver-retraining course.

Have your eyes checked regularly.

Keep your windshield and headlights clean.

Replace wiper blades when they start to leave streaks.

Take into account the traffic, road, and weather conditions, particularly with regard to stopping
