Environmental Protection - Volvo 850 Manual

Environmental protection

Environmental protection
Volvo works with many different aspects of environmental protection.
We use a new chlorine-free refrigerant in our air conditioning units.
This refrigerant is completely safe for the ozone layer and contributes
only minimally to the greenhouse effect. Asbestos-free brakes, engines
equipped with catalytic converters and engines which can be run on
methanol are examples of the Volvo Car Corporation's tireless efforts to
minimise the impact of motoring on the environment.
The use of genuine Volvo parts, the maintenance of the ignition and
fuel systems, and other service measures we carry out are directly
aimed at reducing emission levels. We would also like to emphasise
the environmentally safe way in which authorised Volvo workshops
dispose of ecologically dangerous products such as lubricants, used
coolants etc.
