Emissions - Volvo S60 Owner's Manual

Fuel consumption and CO

emissions

Fuel consumption and CO emissions can be
2
negatively impacted by a number of factors.
Examples of causes of increased fuel con-
sumption include:
If the car is not regularly charged from the
•
mains.
If the car is equipped with extra equip-
•
ment that affects its weight.
Driving style.
•
If the customer chooses wheels other than
•
those mounted as standard on the basic
version of the model, this could increase
rolling resistance.
High speed causes increased air resis-
•
tance.
Fuel quality, road and traffic conditions,
•
weather and the condition of the car.
A combination of the examples above could
increase consumption considerably.
NOTE
Extreme weather conditions, driving with a
trailer or driving at high altitudes, in combi-
nation with poorer fuel quality than recom-
mended, are factors that considerably
increase the car's fuel consumption.
