Owners Manual

A good way of getting to know your new car is to read the Owners Manual, ideally before your first journey. This will give you the op-portunity to familiarise yourself with new functions, to see how best to handle the car in different situations, and to make the best use of all the cars features.

Textile standardThe interior of a Volvo is designed to be pleasant and comfortable, even for people with contact allergies and for asthma suffer-ers. All of our upholstery and interior textiles are tested with respect to certain unhealthy substances and allergens as well as emis-sions. This means that all textiles fulfil the re-quirements in the ko-Tex 1003 standard, a major advance towards a healthier passen-ger compartment environment.

ko-Tex certification covers seatbelts, car-pets, thread and fabrics for example. The leather in the upholstery undergoes chromi-um-free tanning with natural plant substanc-es and fulfils the certification requirements.

Reducing environmental impactYou can help reduce environmental impact, for example, by driving economically, by pur-chasing eco-labelled car care products and by servicing and maintaining the car accord-ing to the instructions in the Owners Manual.

The following hints will help you to do your bit for the environment:

Decrease fuel consumption bECO tyre pressure, see page

A roof load and ski box increase wind resist-ance, leading to signifi-cantly higher fuel consumption. Remove them immediately after use.

Remove unnecessary items frthe greater the load the higheconsumption.

Is your car equipped with an eheater? If so, use it for a few hstarting from cold to reduce fusumption and exhaust emissi

Drive gently and avoid braking

Drive in the highest gear possible. Low engine speeds result in lower fuel consumption.

Use engine braking to slow down.

Avoid idling. Take consideration of local regulations. Switch off the engine in longer y choosing 158.

stationary traffic. Always dispose of envi-

ronmentally hazardous waste, such as batteries and oils, in an environ-mentally safe manner. If uncertain about disposal, consult an authorised Volvo workshop for advice.

Service your car regularly. High speed increases consumption con-

siderably due to increased wind resist-ance. A doubling of speed increases wind resistance four times.

These hints will help you to reduce your fuel consumption without increasing your travel time or lessening the enjoyment of driving. Apart from being kind to your car, youll be saving money - and the Earths resources.

NOTE

The sensors react differently depending on the course of the collision and whether the seatbelts on the driver and passenger side are used. It is therefore possible that only one (or none) of the airbags may inflate in a collision. The SRS system senses the force of the collision on the car and adapts ac-cordingly so that one or more airbags is de-ployed.

The airbags have a function whereby their capacities are adapted to the collision force to which the car is subjected.
