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 traf-
fic queues.
• Always dispose of envi-
ronmentally hazardous
waste, such as batter-
ies and oils, in an envi-
ronmentally 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.
