Volvo workshops and the
environment
Regular maintenance carried out by an author-
ised Volvo workshop creates the conditions 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 contrib-
ute to improving the environment by using only
ecologically approved car care products, and by
ensuring that your car is serviced and maintain-
ed 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 resist-
ance, leading to significant-
ly higher fuel consump-
tion, they should be removed immediately
after use.
· Remove unnecessary items from the car -
the greater the load the higher the fuel con-
sumption.
· Is your car equipped with an engine block
heater? If so, use it for a few hours before
starting from cold to reduce fuel consump-
tion and exhaust emissions.
· Drive gently! Avoid accelera-
ting and braking too hard.
· Drive in the highest possible
gear - lower engine revs reduce
fuel consumption.
· Ease back on the accelerator 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 envi-
ronmentally hazardous
waste, such as batteries
and oils, in an environmen-
tally safe manner. If uncer-
tain, 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.
