THERE’S LIVING IT UP, THERE’S LAYING IT DOWN, THERE’S THE LATEST HIT
SONG, THERE’S THE FLAVOUR OF THE DAY, THERE’S TRYING IT ALL, THERE’S
BEING SMART ABOUT IT. THAT’S WHY YOU DRIVE ONE.

03
Start here.
Be someplace else.
Many things go into making a Volvo unique. The ones we value
most are people. Each. And. Every. One. That’s why we’ve
encouraged our designers and craftsmen to make the Volvo S40
as inviting to ride in as it is to drive. By doing so, your friends
and family are more likely to ask you to drive. And you’re more
likely to want to. And the world can be a safer place for all of
us to argue about the song selection.

Volvo safety technology.
Because people are only human.
Cars are driven by people. That’s why all our safety research and development continues to investigate the
capabilities, limitations and tendencies of human nature. This people-centric research is always based on real
situations, and with the vision to create cars that do not crash.
To help you avoid accidents while maintaining the fun of driving, Volvo safety technologies are designed to
support the driver in various situations without unnecessary interference. All these intelligent technologies
share information and interact with split-second precision. Today, a new Volvo can “read” actual situations
and provide optimal support and protection for example, by sensing normal driving patterns or panic situations
and by taking protective action before, during and after a collision. Still, technology can never take the
responsibility away from you, the driver. Final decisions are always in your hands. But if these technologies
help make you more alert and relaxed, they will also contribute to the overall safety of those in and around
your Volvo.
Volvo Accident Research Team
Since 1970, Volvo’s Accident Research Team has investigated accidents involving Volvo cars on Swedish
roads. Today, our own statistical database contains over 36,000 accidents with more than 60,000 occupants.
In addition to studies on the scene of the accident, our researchers also investigate what happened before
the crash to understand how to improve the driver’s conditions to avoid a collision. These findings give us
unique knowledge that guides us in creating technology that helps prevent or mitigate accidents and, if an
accident can’t be avoided, to help protect the occupants.
Volvo Cars Safety Centre
Based on the findings from our accident research, we can recreate a variety of real-life traffic situations
and crashes. Beyond numerous virtual crash tests in super-computers, we perform around 400 crash tests
each year. We crash test car-to-car at different speeds and from different angles. We perform frontal
impacts, rear impacts, side impacts and roll-over tests and test cars off-road as well as against genuine
Swedish granite rock-face, we can even simulate impacts with wild animals.
If you make it here, you make it anywhere
Other car manufacturers come to Sweden for final car testing under harsh and capricious conditions.
For us it’s home. Our own proving ground Hällered with its 34 miles of test tracks includes different road
types from all over the world. Here we scrutinise our cars’ ability to support their drivers in all imaginable
and unimaginable situations during thousands of test kilometres, not to mention the distances driven
on ordinary Swedish roads.
Towards a future where cars don’t crash
We already know what we want to achieve: no accidents. By applying a holistic approach which considers
the driver and the vehicle as well as the infrastructure, we can realise a future where cars interact with
other cars, the road and the traffic-control systems. For example, this includes cars that can brake and
steer automatically, if needed. This makes it possible to design cars in completely new ways to protect
and preserve life.
“Cars are driven by people. Therefore, the guiding
principle behind everything we make at Volvo is
– and must remain – safety.”
Assar Gabrielsson and Gustaf Larson, founders of Volvo

The three-point safety belt
In 1959, Nils Bohlin, a Volvo safety engineer, invented the three-point safety belt. So important is this
invention, it is considered to be one of the most life-saving technical innovations in the history of mankind.
The three-way catalytic converter with Lambda sensor
In 1976, Volvo Cars was the first car manufacturer to introduce the three-way catalytic converter
with Lambda sensor for exhaust emission control. Today virtually all petrol powered cars are fitted with this
ingenious component, just as indispensable for the environment as the three-point safety belt is
for safety.
WHI S (Whiplash rotection System)
In 1998 Volvo introduced this unique front seat integrated technology to help protect occupants from
whiplash injury in the event of a low speed rear impact. It’s considered one of the most effective systems in
the automotive world.
RO S (Roll-Over rotection System)
This technology including a roll sensor that activates various restraint systems in a roll-over was introduced in
1997 in the Volvo C70 convertible. In 2002 ROPS was further enhanced with the Roll Stability Control (RSC)
in the Volvo XC90. ROPS is available in the Volvo C70, XC90 and XC60.
CWAB (Collision Warning with Auto Brake)
In 2006 this radar and camera based technology became available in a Volvo to help alert the driver, and
even help mitigate a crash by braking the car, if the distance to the vehicle in front becomes too short.
Collision Warning with Auto Brake is available in the Volvo S80, V70, XC70 and XC60.
DAC (Driver Alert Control)
Introduced in 2007, this Volvo innovation can detect erratic driving behaviour due to tiredness or
inattentiveness and remind the driver it may be time for a break. Driver Alert Control is available
in the Volvo S80, V70, XC70 and XC60.
City Safety collision avoidance technology
In 2008, Volvo Cars introduced the new XC60 with City Safety, the world’s first standard-fitted collision
avoidance and mitigation technology active at speeds up to 19 mph. Helping to lower the risk of low-speed
collisions and whiplash injury, City Safety is a major step towards safer urban driving. At the moment, City
Safety is available in the Volvo XC60.
Th r ’s mor to lif than a volvo.
For decades, we’ve created cars that encourage people to enjoy life and help protect it in the event of
an accident. Many of the most important car safety innovations are the hallmark of Volvo, and hundreds
of thousands of people all over the world can say they’re still alive thanks to Volvo ingenuity.
This is not by coincidence. Our founders stated that safety is, and shall always be, at the heart of what
we do. As a result, Volvo is recognised the world over for our passion and dedication to provide the safest
cars on the road.
The protective character of Volvo also encompasses the world we share. Already in 1972, Volvo was the
first car manufacturer to acknowledge and actively respond to the environmental impact of cars. In fact, we
invented the three-way catalytic converter, and are constantly innovating to reduce the environmental
impact of the cars we make and how we make them.
Of course, choosing a Volvo will always be something you do for both yourself and the people around
you, because our cars will always consider the well-being of everyone. Even if those people happen to be
outside your car or are part of future generations.
that’s why w innovat for lif .

Necessity is the mother
of all Volvos.
In order to reduce the environmental impact of our cars, Volvo
is introducing the DRIVe program along with this superbly agile
and hyper-efficient Volvo S40 1.6D DRIVe with Start/Stop
technology. Aerodynamically-optimised to save fuel, and emitting
only 104 grams of CO2per kilometre, form and function have
never been better served.
9

Easy on the eyes.
Easier on the environment.
Easily yours.
The exceptionally clean Scandinavian design of the Volvo S40
1.6D DRIVe with Start/Stop helps it cut through the air with
fuel-saving ease. Sipping barely 72.4 mpg* with an average
carbon dioxide emission of just 104 grams per kilometre, this
aerodynamically-optimised sports saloon makes eco-driving
a beautiful thing. The lowered chassis, low-drag wheels and
instant power of a super-efficient engine with Start/Stop
technology are just a few of the fuel-saving refinements that
make this car more earth-friendly and more fun to drive.
*Based on a combined cycle
11
Can cheating the wind be good for it? We think so. Design and drivetrain modifications significantly reduce
air-resistance and minimise CO2emissions. For example, a special front grille, spoilers, wheel deflectors,
aerodynamic wheels (16"Libra) and a lowered chassis help reduce drag. And Volvo’s state-of-the-art 240 Nm
1.6D common rail turbo-diesel with Start/Stop technology, brake energy regeneration, heightened gear ratios,
optimised electro-hydraulic power steering, newly-developed transmission oil (that reduces internal
resistance), and energy-saving tyres, all help lower CO2emissions significantly.

What’s in it for you?
We are committed to creating cars that contribute to a better
life, be it inside or outside the vehicle. Utilising advanced
technology, your Volvo is designed to use fuel efficiently and
reduce its impact on the environment. And nowhere is this
more evident than in Volvo’s new environmentally optimised
DRIVe variants. This caring attitude continues inside your
Volvo. Here you and your passengers can experience one
of the automotive industry’s cleanest and healthiest cabin
environments. It’s as enjoyable as it’s responsible. ust as
you would expect of a Volvo.
Fresh cabin air.
Continuously monitoring incoming air and shutting out carbon
monoxide, ground-level ozone and nitrogen dioxide, Volvo’s Interior
Air Quality System helps ensure that the air you breathe in the car
is cleaner than that outside when driving in heavy city traffic.
FSC certified interior wood trim.
Choosing the Nordic Light Oak trim you can be confident that the
wood in the interior trim comes from responsibly managed forests
and is certified according to Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).
Safer interior materials.
All our upholsteries and interior textiles are tested for certain
allergy-inducing or harmful substances and comply with Oeko-Tex
Standard 100. And several interior metal details are tested with
regard to contact allergies. Good for you, and for anyone who
shares your ride.
104g CO2per km.
Our latest eco-progress, the Volvo S40 1.6D DRIVe
with Start/Stop, satisfies itself with up to 72.4 mpg*,
for minimum emissions and maximum style.
Green at the red lights.
To further reduce fuel consumption and CO2emissions
when driving in the city, the 1.6D DRIVe turbo diesel
is available with Volvo’s new Start/Stop technology.
Brake for energy.
Driving the 1.6D DR IVe with Start/Stop, the battery is fed with extra
power everytime you brake. Smart and fuel-saving.
85% recyclable.
To help minimise its total environmental impact, every
Volvo is designed to facilitate recovery and recycling
at the end of its useful life.
Eco driving support.
Displaying when it’s optimum to shift gear, the gear
shift indicator in the 1.6D DRIVe variants helps you
save fuel and reduce your CO2emissions.
Maximised fuel efficiency with diesel.
Volvo’s advanced common-rail turbo-diesel technology ensures
superior fuel economy and lower CO2emissions, from the 109 PS
1.6D DRIVe with Start/Stop to the 180 PS D5, 72.4–45.6 mpg* and
104–164g CO2/km.
Cleaner exhaust.
Fast responding after a cold start, Volvo’s advanced emission control
eliminates between 95 and 99% of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons
and nitrogen oxides from petrol engine exhaust gases. The Volvo
turbodiesels feature a particulate filter that removes about 95% of
the particles from the diesel exhaust gases.
Fuel-saving design.
To reduce energy-loss from wind and roll resistance, we utilise
advanced aerodynamic design, light-weight materials and low-friction
technology. Together with state-of-the-art engine technology, this
lowers your CO2emissions and helps you travel further on fuel.

Because nobody likes pollution
but everybody likes to drive.
Thirty years ago the CEO of Volvo said, “Our cars produce pollution, noise
and waste.” This truth inspired us to do more than just make cars safer to
be in. Starting with innovations like the three-way catalytic converter with
a Lambda sensor to today’s seven new eco-designated DRIVe models,
our goal at Volvo is crystal clear: to build cars that leave a minimal impact
on the environment. DRIVe captures all our environmental work, from
production to recycling, and represents our commitment and continued
efforts for sustainable mobility.
Today’s DRIVe models are equipped with state-of-the art diesel engines
optimised to reduce fossil fuel-based CO2emissions. In addition, some
DRIVe models are equipped with Start/Stop technology that allows the
engine to switch off when the car is at a standstill, saving even more
fuel. Thankfully, the imperative to make our cars more earth-friendly has
inspired innovations that make these DRIVe cars even more rewarding
to drive.
Our corporate responsibility
At Volvo Cars, our overriding objective is to balance the needs of our
company, our customers, society and future generations in a sustainable
way. To find out more, please visit www.volvocars.com/sustainability
Motion
We must minimise the emissions of fossil CO2(which leads to climate change) and
increase the energy efficiency of our cars. Continuous improvements within
aerodynamics, rolling resistance, lightweight materials and drivetrain technology
help us lower fuel consumption. To significantly reduce fossil CO2emissions, we
offer many DRIVe turbodiesel variants with lower CO2emissions. We have also
introduced owershift, a new fuel-saving dual-clutch automatic transmission
technology. In our new Hybrid technology centre in Göteborg, we develop the
next generation power trains for future Volvos. The goal is that we use hybrid
technology in all of our car models.
Inside
We know that more and more people are suffering from asthma and allergies.
To ensure a healthy interior for you and your passengers, we test upholsteries and
interiors in the Volvo Environmental Laboratory in Sweden. All upholstery
materials and interior textiles also comply with Oeko-Tex Standard 100,
an international benchmark for human ecological safety of textiles. All leathers
are chromium-free, they’re tanned using vegetable or synthetic substances
instead of chromium. And to meet high requirements on an allergy-friendly interior,
we’ve developed the Clean Zone Interior ackage (CZI ) together with the
Swedish Asthma and Allergy Association. What’s more, some panel trims are
Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified to ensure the wood comes
from responsibly managed forests.
Lifecycle
Already from the early stages of conception we’ve, considered our cars’ environmental
impact: from design and manufacturing to useful life and recycling. For example,
we’ve seen to it that our factories are powered by electricity produced by wind and
hydro power and use energy and water responsibly. Our production facilities are
certified under the global environmental standard ISO 14001, and we make
sure that all our major suppliers meet our strict environmental standards. At the
end of its useful life, every Volvo is designed to be 85% recyclable. We also offer
re-manufactured exchange parts which substantially reduces the need for raw
materials and energy.
lease note: Some of the environmental technologies are only available on certain Volvo models
and may be optional. For more information, talk to your Volvo dealer or visit www.volvocars.co.uk

How does it get in there? It plays over and over. It gets
stuck there, in your head. Who picks it and why do they
keep hitting playback? Is your subconscious trying to D ?
Are the glands acting up? Poor diet? Late night? Sunspots?
No one knows the cause. But let me ask you this, why is it
monophonic? Is it the same reason dreams are in black and
white? Is the brain on a budget? One thing is for certain;
the only cure is more music.
Let’s go for a ride in your new stereo.

Keyless Drive
Keep the car key in your pocket or handbag.
Using the keyless drive technology you can
unlock the doors and drive away without
using the car key. To start the engine, just
turn the starter control in the instrument
panel.
Park Assist
Activated when you engage reverse gear,
rear park assist helps you when reversing
into tight spaces. The audio system is turned
down and a pulsating sound from the rear
loudspeakers becomes a continuous tone
as you approach an obstacle.
RTI (Road Traffic Information)
Volvo’s GPS-based RTI navigation system is totally integrated
with your car. It offers both voice guidance and graphic navigation
all the way to your destination. Via TMC (Traffic Message
Channel) radio data broadcasts RTI also lets you know if there’s
weather-related trouble on route and recommends an alternative.
The RTI system is easily controlled from the steering wheel or a
remote, and the screen is positioned so you can keep your
attention on traffic. When not in use, the screen retracts into the
dash. The maps are on one DVD and cover major parts of Europe.
To help you keep track of new roads and points of interest, you
can join our MapCare programme for two free map updates.
BLIS (Blind Spot Information System)
BLIS uses rear-facing cameras installed in the
door mirrors to keep a lookout on either side of
the car. As a vehicle enters your blind spot, this
function can alert you with a lamp built in to the
front door post, left or right. Together with the door
mirrors, this helps you assess the feasibility of a
lane change. BLIS is activated once the car
exceeds 6 mph, and reacts to almost any type of
vehicle from a motorcycle upwards, day or night.
Integrated Bluetooth® handsfree system
Bluetooth® technology enables a mobile phone to be connected
to the infotainment system in your Volvo, wirelessly. Once
configured for a mobile phone, the system automatically
recognises your phone as you enter the car. You then operate
your phone using the buttons in the steering wheel. As you climb
in and out of the car, the system automatically allows you to switch
freely from the phone to the handsfree system and back again.
The Bluetooth word mark and logos are owned by the Bluetooth
SIG, Inc. and any use of such marks by Volvo Car Corporation is
under licence. Other trademarks and trade names are those of
their respective owners.
Autofolding Power Door Mirror with
Ground Lights
At the touch of a button, these door mirrors
can be folded flat against the car where they
are less likely to get damaged after you’ve
parked. They also fold or unfold
automatically every time you lock or unlock
the car. The integrated ground lighting is
activated with the remote control. Beyond
enhancing security to and from your car at
night, this is also convenient when getting
in and out.
Active Bending Lights
In addition to improving illumination by about 230% using Dual
Xenon light technology, the Active Bending Lights give a 90%
boost to your vision round bends at night. Controlled by
microprocessors, the motorised lamps turn up to 15 degrees in
either direction when driving – reliably lighting up your chosen
path. A twilight sensor disengages the adaptive function during
daylight to extend its life span.
Inside information
Here you can learn more about the features and
technology of your Volvo S40. Some are standard, some
are optional. For more detailed information, please contact
your Volvo dealer or visit www.volvocars.co.uk
Dynamic Stability and Traction Control (DSTC)
By helping prevent fishtails, spinouts, and rollovers, stability
control technology like DSTC has been described as one of
the most vital safety advances of the past decade. At the
core of DSTC, a gyroscope senses the car’s direction and
compares this with steering wheel movements as well as
the actual rotation of the car’s wheels. DSTC is able to
detect a potential skid and help counteract this one by
reducing the engine’s power output, or braking on one or
more wheels.
Dual-stage airbags, driver and front
passenger
Dual-stage airbags adapt the level of inflation
depending on the force of the collision. The
driver’s airbag also interacts with the deformation
of the collapsible steering column. Side airbags
in the front seats help reduce the risk of serious
injuries in a side collision. The Inflatable Curtain
(IC) helps protect the heads of both front and
rear outboard occupants. It also stays inflated for
some seconds to provide prolonged protection
for subsequent impacts.
Side Impact Protection System (SIPS)
SIPS is a Volvo unique safety system that has
been developed to help protect where occupants
are most exposed to the crash forces. The steel
framework of the car – including the front seats
– is designed and reinforced to help displace the
impact of a side-collision away from the
occupants to other parts of the car body and help
prevent intrusion into the cabin. The side structure
is extremely strong to help withstand a severe
side impact – even with a larger vehicle. The
Inflatable Curtain (IC) for all the outboard
occupants and the front seat side airbags interact
to help provide further protection.
ISOFIX
ISOFIX attachments only allow you to fit
the child seat in the correct way. They
also make the child seat easier to fit and
remove. We offer two rearfacing child
seats with ISOFIX attachments: one for
infants and small children up to 13 kg,
and one for children weighing between
9 and 18 kg.
Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS)
Integrated in the front seats, Volvo’s WHIPS
cradles the occupant to help reduce the risk of
whiplash injury (one of the most common types
of traffic injury and often the result of a low-
speed rear impact collision). The function is
activated by a collision of sufficient force from
behind. Independent research has shown that
WHIPS is one of the most effective systems in
the world and can reduce the risk of long-term
invalidity by 50%.
IC (Inflatable Curtain)
The Inflatable Curtain (IC) helps protect
the heads of both front and rear
outboard occupants. It also stays
inflated for some seconds to provide
prolonged protection for subsequent
impacts.

Towbar
Our lockable, easy-to-remove towbars are designed specifically for your Volvo.
Infant Seat (up to 13kg)
Infants can travel safely backwards in this comfortable, easy-to-carry seat with five-point harness.
