Volvo XC90: Creating and registering a Volvo ID / Drive-E ‒ purer driving pleasure
Volvo is committed to the well-being of its customers. As a natural part of
this commitment, we care about the environment in which we all live. Concern for
the environment means an everyday involvement in reducing our environmental impact.
Volvo's environmental activities are based on a holistic view, which means we
consider the overall environmental impact of a product throughout its complete life
cycle. In this context, design, production, product use, and recycling are all important
considerations. In production, Volvo has partly or completely phased out several
chemicals including CFCs, lead chromates, asbestos, and cadmium; and reduced the
number of chemicals used in our plants 50% since 1991.
Volvo was the first in the world to introduce into production a three-way catalytic
converter with a Lambda sond, now called the heated oxygen sensor, in 1976. The
current version of this highly efficient system reduces emissions of harmful substances
(CO, HC, NOx) from the exhaust pipe by approximately 95 - 99% and the search to
eliminate the remaining emissions continues. Volvo is the only automobile manufacturer
to offer CFC-free retrofit kits for the air conditioning system of all models as
far back as the 1975 model 240. Advanced electronic engine controls and cleaner
fuels are bringing us closer to our 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 environmental 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 genuine Volvo car care products.
All Volvo car care products are formulated to be environmentally friendly.
