General
Volvo advises you to follow the maintenance
program outlined in the Warranty and Service
Records Information booklet. This mainte-
nance program contains inspections and ser-
vices necessary for the proper function of
your vehicle. The maintenance services con-
tain several checks that require special tools
and training, and therefore must be per-
formed by a qualified technician. To keep
your Volvo in top condition, specify time-
tested and proven Genuine Volvo Parts and
Accessories.
The Federal Clean Air Act - U.S
The Federal Clean Air Act requires vehicle
manufacturers to furnish written instructions
to the ultimate purchaser to assure the
proper servicing and function of the compo-
nents that control emissions. These services,
which are listed in the "Warranty and Service
Records Information" booklet, are not cov-
ered by the warranty. You will be required to
pay for labor and material used.
Maintenance
Your Volvo passed several major inspec-
tions before it was delivered to you, in accor-
dance with Volvo specifications. The mainte-
nance procedures outlined in the Warranty
and Service Records Information booklet,
186
many of which will positively affect your vehi-
cle's emissions, should be performed as indi-
cated. It is recommended that receipts for
vehicle emission maintenance be retained in
case questions arise concerning mainte-
nance. Inspection and maintenance should
also be performed anytime a malfunction is
observed or suspected.

vice Records Information booklet provides a

ule up to 150,000 miles (240,000 km) of vehi-
cle maintenance. The schedule includes
components that affect vehicle emissions.

related components.

Your vehicle's driving and safety systems
employ computers that monitor, and share
with each other, information about your vehi-
cle's operation. One or more of these com-
puters may store what they monitor, either
during normal vehicle operation or in a crash
or near-crash event. Stored information may
be read and used by:
