Recording dataYour vehicle contains a number of computerswhose function is to continuously check andmonitor the vehicle's operation and function-ality. Some of the computers can record infor-

mation during normal driving if they detect anerror. In addition, information is recorded in theevent of a crash or incident. Parts of the recor-ded information are required so that techni-cians can diagnose and rectify faults in thevehicle during servicing and maintenance andso that Volvo can fulfil legal requirements andother regulations. In addition to this, the infor-mation is used for research purposes by Volvoin order to continually develop quality andsafety, as the information can contribute to a

better understanding of the factors that causeaccidents and injuries. The informationincludes details of the status and functionalityof various systems and modules in the vehiclewith regard to engine, throttle, steering andbrake systems, amongst other things. Thisinformation may include details regarding the

way the driver drives the vehicle, such as vehi-cle speed, brake and accelerator pedal use,steering wheel movement and whether or not

the driver and passengers have used theirseatbelts. For the reasons given this informa-tion may be stored in the vehicle's computersfor a certain length of time, but also as a resultof a collision or incident. This information maybe stored by Volvo as long as it can help tofurther develop and further enhance safety andquality and as long as there are legal require-ments and other regulations that Volvo needsto consider.

Volvo will not contribute to the above-descri-bed information being disclosed to third partieswithout the vehicle owner's consent. However,due to national legislation and regulationsVolvo may be required to disclose such infor-mation to authorities such as police authorities,or others who may assert a legal right to haveaccess to it.

To be able to read and interpret the informationrecorded by the computers in the vehiclerequires special technical equipment that

Volvo, and workshops that have entered intoagreements with Volvo, have access to. Volvois responsible that the information, which istransferred to Volvo during servicing and main-tenance, is stored and handled in a securemanner and that the handling complies with

applicable legal requirements. For further infor-mation - contact a Volvo dealer.

Accessories and extra equipmentThe incorrect connection and installation ofaccessories can negatively affect the car'selectrical system. Certain accessories onlyfunction when their associated software isinstalled in the car's computer system. Wetherefore recommend that you always contactan authorised Volvo workshop before installingaccessories which are connected to or affectthe electrical system.

Change of ownership for cars withVolvo On Call *Volvo On Call is a supplemental service thatconsists of safety, security and comfort serv-ices. If the car has Volvo On Call and there is achange of owner, it is very important that theseservices are discontinued so that the formerowner cannot access the services in the car.Contact the call centre by pressing the ONCALLbutton in the car or contact an author-ised Volvo workshop. See also "Changing thesecurity code" in the owner's manual for VolvoOn Call.

Introduction

Volvo and the environment


Volvo Cars' environmental philosophy

G000

000

Environmental care is one of Volvo Car Corpo-ration's core values which influence all opera-tions. We also believe that our customers shareour consideration for the environment.

Your Volvo complies with strict internationalenvironmental standards and is also manufac-tured in one of the cleanest and most resource-efficient plants in the world. Volvo Car Corpo-ration has global ISO certification, whichincludes the environmental standard ISO14001 covering all factories and several of ourother units. We also set requirements for ourpartners so that they work systematically withenvironmental issues.

Fuel consumption

Volvo cars have competitive fuel consumptionin each of their respective classes. Lower fuelconsumption generally results in lower emis-sion of the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide.

It is possible for the driver to influence fuel con-sumption. For more information read under theheading, Reducing environmental impact.

Efficient emission control

Your Volvo is manufactured following the con-cept "Clean inside and out" a concept thatencompasses a clean interior environment aswell as highly efficient emission control. In

many cases the exhaust emissions are wellbelow the applicable standards.

Clean air in the passenger compartment

A passenger compartment filter prevents dustand pollen from entering the passenger com-partment via the air intake.

A sophisticated air quality system, IAQS* (Inte-

rior Air Quality System) ensures that the incom-ing air is cleaner than the air in the traffic out-side.

The system consists of an electronic sensorand a carbon filter. The incoming air is moni-tored continuously and if there is an increase in


15/316

Introduction

Volvo and the environment


the level of certain unhealthy gases such ascarbon monoxide then the air intake is closed.Such a situation may arise in heavy traffic,

queues and tunnels for example.The entry of nitrous oxides, ground-level ozoneand hydrocarbons is prevented by the carbonfilter.

Interior

The interior of a Volvo is designed to be plea-sant and comfortable, even for people withcontact allergies and for asthma sufferers.Extreme attention has been given to choosingenvironmentally-compatible materials.

Volvo workshops and the environment

Regular maintenance creates the conditionsfor a long service life and low fuel consumptionfor your car. In this way you contribute to acleaner environment. When Volvo's workshopsare entrusted with the service and mainte-nance of your car it becomes part of our sys-tem. We make clear demands regarding theway in which our workshops are designed inorder to prevent spills and discharges into the

environment. Our workshop staff have theknowledge and the tools required to guaranteegood environmental care.

Reducing environmental impactYou can easily help reduce environmentalimpact - here are a few tips:

Avoid letting the engine idle - switch off theengine when stationary for longer periods.Pay attention to local regulations.

Drive economically - think ahead. Perform service and maintenance in

accordance with the owner's manual'sinstructions - follow the Service and War-ranty Booklet's recommended intervals.

If the car is equipped with an engine blockheater*, use it before starting from cold - itimproves starting capacity and reduceswear in cold weather and the engine rea-ches normal operating temperature morequickly, which lowers consumption andreduces emissions.

High speed increases consumption con-siderably due to increased wind resistance- a doubling of speed increases wind resis-tance 4 times.

Always dispose of environmentally hazar-dous waste, such as batteries and oils, inan environmentally safe manner. Consult aworkshop in the event of uncertainty abouthow this type of waste should be discarded

- an authorised Volvo workshop is recom-mended.

Following this advice can save money, theplanet's resources are saved, and the car'sdurability is extended. For more informationand further advice, see the pages 142 and293.

Recycling

As a part of Volvo's environmental work, it isimportant that the car is recycled in an envi-

ronmentally sound manner. Almost all of thecar can be recycled. The last owner of the caris therefore requested to contact a dealer forreferral to a certified/approved recyclingfacility.

The owner's manual and theenvironmentThe FSC symbol shows that the paper pulp inthis publication comes from FSC certified for-

ests or other controlled sources.

General information

G020104

Tensioning the hip strap. The belt must be posi-tioned low down.

Heavy braking can have serious consequencesif the seatbelts are not used. Ensure that allpassengers use their seatbelts. It is importantthat the seatbelt lies against the body so it canprovide maximum protection. Do not lean thebackrest too far back. The seatbelt is designedto protect in a normal seating position.

Putting on a seatbelt Pull the seatbelt out slowly and secure it by

pressing the buckle into the lock. A loud"click" indicates that the seatbelt haslocked.

Releasing the seatbelt Press the red lock button and then let the

seatbelt retract. If the seatbelt does not

retract fully, feed the seatbelt in by hand sothat it does not hang loose.

The seatbelt locks and cannot be with-drawn:

if it is pulled out too quickly

during braking and acceleration

if the car leans heavily.

Keep in mind the following

do not use clips or anything else that canprevent the seatbelt from fitting properly

ensure that the seatbelt is not twisted orcaught on anything

the hip strap must be positioned low down(not over the abdomen)

tension the hip strap over the lap by pullingthe diagonal shoulder belt as illustrated.

WARNING

The seatbelts and airbags interact. If a seat-belt is not used or is used incorrectly, thismay diminish the protection provided by theairbag in the event of a collision.

WARNING

Each seatbelt is designed for only one per-son.

WARNING

Never modify or repair the seatbelt yourself.Volvo recommends that you contact anauthorised Volvo workshop. If the seatbelthas been subjected to a major load, such asin conjunction with a collision, the entireseatbelt must be replaced. Some of theseatbelt's protective properties may havebeen lost even if the seatbelt does not

appear damaged. The seatbelt must also bereplaced if it shows signs of wear or dam-age. The new seatbelt must be type-approved and designed for installation atthe same location as the replaced seatbelt.

Seatbelts and pregnancy

G020105

The seatbelt should always be worn duringpregnancy. But it is crucial that it be worn in thecorrect way. The diagonal section of the seat-belt should wrap over the shoulder then berouted between the breasts and to the side ofthe abdomen.

The lap section of the seatbelt should lay flatover the thighs and as low as possible under

the abdomen. It must never be allowed to rideupward. Remove the slack from the seatbeltand ensure that it fits as close to the body aspossible. In addition, check that there are notwists in the seatbelt.

As a pregnancy progresses, pregnant driversshould adjust their seats and steering wheel

such that they can easily maintain control of thevehicle as they drive (which means that theymust be able to easily operate the foot pedals

and steering wheel). They should strive to posi-tion the seat with as large a distance as possi-ble between their abdomen and the steeringwheel.

Seatbelt reminder

G018084

Unbelted occupants will be reminded to fastentheir seatbelts by means of an audio and visualreminder. The audio reminder is speeddependent, and in some cases time depend-ent. The visual reminder is located in the roofconsole and the combined instrument panel.

Child seats are not covered by the seatbeltreminder system.

Rear seatThe seatbelt reminder in the rear seat has twosubfunctions:

Provides information on which seatbeltsare being used in the rear seat. A messageappears in the information display whenthe seatbelts are in use, or if one of the reardoors has been opened. The message iscleared automatically after driving forapproximately 30 seconds or after press-ing the indicator stalk's READbutton.

Provides a warning if one of the rear seat-belts is unfastened during a journey. Thiswarning takes the form of a message onthe information display along with theaudio/visual signal. The warning ceaseswhen the seatbelt is re-fastened or whenacknowledged manually by pressing theREADbutton.

The message on the information display show-ing which seatbelts are in use is always avail-able. Press the READbutton to see stored

messages.

Certain markets

An audio signal and indicator lamp remind thedriver if not wearing a seatbelt to use one. Atlow speed, the audio reminder will sound forthe first 6 seconds.

Seatbelt tensionerThe front seatbelts and the two for the outerrear seats are equipped with seatbelt tension-

ers. A mechanism in the seatbelt tensionertightens the seatbelt in the event of a suffi-ciently violent collision. The seatbelt then pro-vides more effective restraint for occupants.

WARNING

Never insert the tongue of the passenger'sseatbelt into the buckle on the driver's side.

Always insert the tongue of the seatbelt intothe buckle on the correct side. Do not makeany damages on seatbelts nor insert any

foreign objects into a buckle. The seatbeltsand buckles would then possibly not func-tion as intended in the event of a collision.There is a risk of serous injury.

Warning symbol on the combinedinstrument panel

The warning symbol in the combined instru-ment panel illuminates when the remote con-trol key is turned to key position I, IIor III. Thesymbol goes out after approx. 6 seconds pro-vided the airbag system is fault-free.

As well as the warning symbol, amessage may appear on the dis-play in appropriate cases. If the

warning symbol malfunctions, thewarning triangle illuminates andthe message SRS AIRBAGSERVICE REQUIREDor SRSAIRBAG SERVICE URGENTappears in the display. Volvo rec-

ommends that you contact an authorisedVolvo workshop immediately.

WARNING

If the warning symbol for the airbag systemremains illuminated or illuminates while driv-ing, it means that the airbag system doesnot have full functionality. The symbol indi-cates a fault in the seatbelt tensioner sys-tem, SIPS, SRS or the IC system. Volvo rec-ommends that you contact an authorised

Volvo workshop immediately.

Airbag system

G020111

SRS system, left-hand drive

The system consists of airbags and sensors. Asufficiently violent collision trips the sensorsand the airbag(s) are inflated with hot gas. Tocushion the impact, the airbag deflates whencompressed. When this occurs, smokeescapes into the car. This is completely nor-mal. The entire process, including inflation anddeflation of the airbag, takes place withintenths of a second.

WARNING

Volvo recommends that you contact anauthorised Volvo workshop for repair.Defective work in the airbag system couldcause malfunction and result in serious per-sonal injury.

G020110

SRS system, right-hand drive

NOTE

The sensors react differently depending onthe course of the collision and whether ornot the seatbelts on the driver's side andpassenger side are used.

It is therefore possible that only one (ornone) of the airbags may inflate in a colli-sion. The airbag system senses the force ofthe collision on the car and adapts accord-ingly so that one or more airbags isdeployed.

The capacities of the airbags are also adap-ted to the collision force to which they aresubjected.

020118

Side airbag locations.

In a side impact collision a large proportion ofthe collision force is transferred by the SIPS(Side Impact Protection System) to beams, pil-lars, the floor, the roof and other structuralparts of the body. The side airbags at the driv-er's and front passenger seats protect thechest area and are an important part of theSIPS. The side airbags are located in the front

seat backrests.

WARNING

Volvo recommends that repairs are onlycarried out by an authorised Volvoworkshop. Defective work in the SIPS-bag system could cause malfunctionand result in serious personal injury.

Do not place any objects in the areabetween the outside of the seat and thedoor panel, since this area is requiredby the side airbag.

Volvo recommends the use only of carseat covers approved by Volvo. Otherseat covers may impede the operation

of the side airbags. Side airbags are a supplement the seat-

belts. Always use a seatbelt.

Child seats and side airbags

The protection provided by the car to childrenseated in a child seat or on a booster cushionis not diminished by the side airbag.

A child seat or booster cushion can be placedon the front passenger seat provided that the

car does not have an activated1passenger air-bag.

G025316

Front passenger seat, left-hand drive.

The SIPS bag system consists of side airbagsand sensors. A sufficiently violent collision tripsthe sensors and the side airbags are inflated.The airbag inflates between the occupant andthe door panel and thereby cushions the initialimpact. The airbag deflates when compressedby the collision. The side airbag is normally onlydeployed on the side of the collision.

Properties

G015265

The inflatable curtain IC (Inflatable Curtain) is apart of SIPS and the airbags. It is fitted in theheadlining along both sides of the roof andprotects the car's occupants sitting in the outerseats. A sufficiently violent collision trips thesensors and the inflatable curtain is inflated.The inflatable curtain helps to prevent thedriver and passengers from striking their headson the inside of the car during a collision.

Protection against whiplash injury WHIPS

G

020347

The whiplash protection system (WHIPS) con-sists of energy absorbing backrests and spe-cially designed head restraints for the frontseats. The system is actuated by a rear-endcollision, where the angle and speed of the col-lision, and the nature of the colliding vehicle allhave an influence.

WARNING

The WHIPS system is a supplement to theseatbelts. Always use a seatbelt.

Properties of the seat

When the WHIPS system is deployed, the frontseat backrests are lowered backward to alterthe seating position of the driver and front seatpassenger. This reduces the risk of whiplashinjury.

WARNING

Never modify or repair the seat or WHIPSsystem yourself. Volvo recommends thatyou contact an authorised Volvo workshop.

WHIPS system and child seats/booster

cushions

The protection provided by the car to childrenseated in a child seat or on a booster cushionis not diminished by the WHIPS system.

Correct seating position

For the best possible protection, the driver andfront seat passenger should sit in the centre of

the seat with as little space as possiblebetween the head and the head restraint.
