overall environmental impact of a product
throughout its complete life cycle. In this con-
text, 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

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 emis-
sions 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 elec-

with the type of personally identifying data
routinely acquired during a crash investigation.
So that you as a Volvo customer shall have
the best possible experience from your car,
Volvo is continuously developing the systems
in the cars and the services that you are
offered.
You can update the software in your Volvo to
the latest version when your car is serviced at
an authorized Volvo dealer. With the latest
software update, you can take advantage of
available improvements, including those that
came with previous software updates.
As part of Volvo's commitment to safety and

EDR
This vehicle is equipped with an "Event Data
Recorder" (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR
is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like
situations, such as an air bag deployment or
hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in
understanding how a vehicle's systems
performed. The EDR is designed to record
data related to vehicle dynamics and safety
systems for a short period of time, typically 30
seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is
designed to record such data as:
To read data recorded by an EDR, special
equipment is required, and access to the
vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to
the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such
as law enforcement, that have the special
equipment, can read the information if they
have access to the vehicle or the EDR.

This vehicle is equipped with an Active Safety
Data Recorder (ASDR). This data recorder can
record information related to the usage of the
car, functional errors and active safety

saved is used by technicians for service and
maintenance to diagnose and repair possible
faults that has occurred in the vehicle and to
fulfil certain legal requirements. The registered
data can also, in congregated form, be used

such as law enforcement, could combine the
EDR data with the type of personally identifia-

ing an accident investigation. Special equip-
ment and access to either the vehicle or the
EDR is required to read this recorded data.
Volvo will not provide this information to any
third parties without the vehicle owner's con-
sent. However, national legislation and regula-
tions may require Volvo to disclose this type of
information to law enforcement or other
authorities that can claim a legal right to the
information. Special technical equipment,
which Volvo and workshops that have entered
agreements with Volvo have access to, is
required to read and interpret the recorded
data. Volvo is responsible for ensuring that
information provided to Volvo in conjunction
with service and maintenance is stored and
handled securely and in compliance with
applicable legal requirements. For more infor-

This vehicle is equipped with an “Event Data
Recorder” (EDR). The main purpose of the
EDR is to register and record data in traffic
accidents or accident-like situations, e.g. if an
airbag deploys or if the vehicle hits an obstacle
in the road. This data is recorded in order to
help understand how the vehicle's systems
perform in these types of situations. The EDR
is designed to record data related to vehicle
dynamics and safety systems for a short
period of time, usually 30 seconds or less.
In addition to the EDR, the vehicle is equipped
with a number of computers that continuously
control and monitor the vehicle's performance.
These computers may record data during nor-
mal driving conditions, particularly if they
detect a fault relating to the vehicle's opera-
tion and functionality or upon activation of the
vehicle's active driver support functions (e.g.
City Safety or the auto-brake function).
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record
data in traffic accidents or accident-like situa-
tions such as:

Some of this recorded data is required by
technicians performing service and mainte-

tory requirements. Information registered in
the vehicle is stored in its computers until the
vehicle is serviced or repaired.

Whether the driver and passenger seat
belts were tightened/buckled;
•
The driver's use of the accelerator/brake
pedal;
How fast the vehicle was moving.
This data can help provide a better under-
standing of the circumstances in which traffic
accidents and injuries occur. The EDR records
data only if a non-trivial accident situation
occurs. EDR does not record any data during
normal driving conditions. The system also

Volvo Structural Parts Statement
Volvo is one of the leading companies for car
safety.
Volvo engineers and manufactures vehicles
designed to help protect vehicle occupants in
the event of a collision.
Driver distraction
A driver has a responsibility to do everything
possible to ensure his or her own safety and
the safety of passengers in the vehicle and
others sharing the roadway. Part of this
responsibility is avoiding distractions, includ-
ing performing activities that are not directly
related to controlling the vehicle in the driving
environment.
Your new Volvo is, or can be, equipped with
feature-rich entertainment and communica-
tion systems. These include hands-free cellular
telephones, navigation systems, and multipur-
pose audio systems. You may also own other
portable electronic devices for your own con-
venience. When used properly and safely, they
enrich the driving experience. Improperly used,
any of these could cause a distraction.
Volvos are designed to absorb the impact of a
collision. This energy absorption system
including, but not limited to, structural compo-
nents such as bumper reinforcement bars,
bumper energy absorbers, frames, rails, fender
aprons, A-pillars, B-pillars and body panels
must work together to maintain cabin integrity
and protect the vehicle occupants.

The supplemental restraint system including
but not limited to air bags, side curtain air
bags, and deployment sensors work together
with the above components to provide proper
timing for air bag deployment.
For all of these systems, we want to provide
the following warning that reflects the strong
Volvo concern for your safety. Never use these
devices or any feature of your vehicle in a way
that distracts you from the task of driving
safely. Distraction can lead to a serious acci-
dent. In addition to this general warning, we
offer the following guidance regarding specific
new features that may be found in your vehi-
cle:
Due to the above, Volvo Car USA does not
support the use of aftermarket, alternative or
anything other than original Volvo parts for
collision repair.
Volvo Car USA also recommends using Volvo-
approved replacement glass. The use of after-
market glass, particularly a windshield, can
have an adverse effect on collision avoidance
and advanced lighting systems.
In addition Volvo does not support the use or
re-use of structural components from an exist-
ing vehicle that has been previously damaged.
