Volvo Car Corporation and the environment

Clean air in the passenger

compartment

A sophisticated air cleaning system, IAQS

(Interior Air Quality System) ensures that the

air in the passenger compartment is cleaner

than the air in the traffic outside.

The system consists of an electronic sensor

and a carbon filter. The air intake is closed if

there is an increase in the level of reducing

gases and oxidising gases, e.g. carbon

monoxide, for example in heavy traffic,

queues and tunnels. The entry of nitrous

oxides, ground-level ozone and hydrocarbons

is prevented by the carbon filter.

Textile standard

The interior of a Volvo is designed to be

healthy and safe - even for people with

contact allergies and for asthma sufferers.

Extreme attention has been given to choosing

environmentally-compatible materials. This

means that they also fulfil the requirements of

the Öko-Tex 100 ecological standard - a

major advance towards a healthier passenger

compartment environment.

Öko-Tex certification covers seatbelts,

carpets, thread and fabrics for example. Even

the leather upholstery undergoes chromium-

free tanning with natural plant substances

and meets the requirements.

Volvo workshops and the

environment

Regular maintenance creates the conditions

for long service life for the car and low fuel

consumption, and contributes to a cleaner

environment. When Volvo’s workshops are

entrusted with the repair and maintenance of

the car, it becomes part of our system. We

make clear demands regarding the way in

which our workshops are designed in order

to prevent spills and discharges into the

environment. Our workshop staff have the

knowledge and the tools required to

guarantee good environmental care.

Reducing environmental impact

You can help reduce environmental impact,

for example, by purchasing eco-labelled car

care products and by servicing and

maintaining the car according to the instruc-

tions in the owner’s manual.

The following hints will help you to do your bit

for the environment:

• Ensure that your tyre pressures are

correct. Poorly inflated tyres increase fuel

consumption. If any of the higher tyre

pressures recommended by Volvo are

used then fuel consumption decreases.

• 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 unnecessary acceler-

ation and braking too hard.

• Drive in the highest gear

possible. Low engine

speeds result in lower

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.
