Reducing environmental impact
You 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 owner’s manual.
The following hints will help you to care for
the environment:
Decrease fuel consumption by choosing
ECO tyre pressure, see page 207.
A roof load and ski box increase air resist-
ance, leading to higher fuel consumption.
Remove them immediately after use.
Remove unnecessary items from the car.
The greater the load the higher the fuel
consumption.
If the car is equipped with an engine block
heater use it for a few hours before start-
ing from cold. This reduces fuel consump-
tion and exhaust emissions.
Drive gently and avoid braking too hard.
Drive in the highest gear possible. Low
engine speeds result in lower fuel con-
sumption.
Use engine braking to slow down.
Avoid idling. Take consideration of local
regulations. Switch off the engine in longer
stationary traffic.
Always dispose of environmentally haz-
ardous waste, such as batteries and oils,
in an environmentally safe manner. If un-
certain about disposal, consult an author-
ised 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 reduce fuel consump-
tion without increasing travel time or lessen-
ing the enjoyment of driving. Apart from be-
ing kind to your car, you’ll be saving money -
and the Earth’s resources.
