Q
Volvo Cars and the environment
A Volvo meets strict international environ-
mental demands and delivers low fuel
consumption to reduce emissions of green-
house carbon dioxide. In terms of fuel
economy, Volvo cars are highly competitive in
their respective segments.
Volvo workshops and the
environment
Regular maintenance carried out by an
authorised Volvo workshop creates the condi-
tions for low fuel consumption and
contributes to a cleaner environment. Volvo
service technicians are equipped with the
knowhow and tools to ensure that your car
delivers the best possible environmental
performance.
Reducing environmental impact
We believe that our customers share our
concern for the environment. You can
contribute to improving the environment by
using only ecologically approved car care
products, and by ensuring that your car is
serviced and maintained according to the
instructions in the owner’s manual.
The following hints will help you to do your bit
for the environment:
Always ensure that your tyre pressures are
correct. Poorly inflated tyres increase fuel
consumption.
Since roof racks and ski
boxes increase air
resistance, leading to
significantly higher fuel
consumption, they
should be removed
immediately after use.
Remove unnecessary items from the car -
the greater the load the higher the fuel
consumption.
Is your car equipped with an engine block
heater? If so, use it for a few hours before
starting from cold to reduce fuel
consumption and exhaust emissions.
Drive gently! Avoid accelerating and
braking too hard.
Drive in the highest
possible gear - lower
engine revs reduce fuel
consumption.
Ease back on the accel-
erator on downhill
gradients.
Use engine braking. Take your foot off the
accelerator and change down.
Avoid idling. Switch off the engine in
traffic queues.
Always dispose of
environmentally
hazardous waste, such
as batteries and oils, in
an environmentally safe
manner. If uncertain, ask
your authorised Volvo workshop for
advice.
Service your car regularly.
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, you’ll be
saving money - and the Earth’s resources.
