YOUR VOLVO

goal. In addition to continuous environmental
refinement of conventional gasoline-powered
internal combustion engines, Volvo is actively
looking at advanced technology alternative-fuel
vehicles.
When you drive a Volvo, you become our partner
in the work to lessen the vehicle's impact on the
environment. To reduce your vehicle's environ-
mental impact, you can:
•
Maintain proper air pressure in your tires.
Tests have shown decreased fuel economy
with improperly inflated tires.
•
Follow the recommended maintenance
schedule in your Warranty and Service
Records Information booklet.
•
Drive at a constant speed whenever possible.
•
See a trained and qualified Volvo service
technician as soon as possible for inspection
if the check engine (malfunction indicator)
light illuminates, or stays on after the vehicle
has started.
•
Properly dispose of any vehicle-related waste
such as used motor oil, used batteries, brake
pads, etc.
•
When cleaning your vehicle, please use gen-
uine Volvo car care products. All Volvo car
care products are formulated to be environ-
mentally friendly.
Some of these systems are standard, while others are options. This may vary depending on market, vehicle model and model year.
