Volvo Car Corporation and the environment
• 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.
• Always dispose of
environmentally
hazardous waste, such
as batteries and oils, in
an environmentally safe
manner. If uncertain,
consult an 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.
