Volvo S40 BROCHURE 2 User manual

THERE’S MORE TO LIFE THAN A VOLVO. THERE’S THE BUZZ OF THE BIG CITY,
THERE’S A BIG GAME TONIGHT, THERE’S THE LAST-SECOND SHOT THAT WINS IT,
THERE’S THE PASS THAT MAKES IT HAPPEN, THERE’S BEATING THE ODDS
WITHOUT BReAKING THE BANK, THERE’S PLAYING THE GAME WITHOUT GAMING
THE SYSTEM, THERE’S ICE-CREAM, THERE’S CHOCOLATE, THERE’S ICE CREAM AND
CHOCOLATE TOGETHER, THERE’S A HALF HOUR BEFORE YOU CAN GO SWIMMING,
THERE’S SWIMMING NAKED, THERE’S WINNING THE PART, THERE’S RUNNING
THE SHOW, THERE’S A STANDING OVATION, THERE’S YOUR NAME IN LIGHTS,
THERE’S A STAR BY YOUR NAME, THERE’S THE NORTH STAR, THERE’S VENUS
AND MARS, THERE’S CAMPING OUT, THERE’S ORDERING IN, 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.

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. for life

Me-too is not for us.
In a “me, too” world, being different is a cause
for celebration. Drive the Volvo S40 and you’ll
experience something unique: the intelligence
and simplicity known as Scandinavian design.
This is where form, function, performance and
safety all work together to give the European
sports sedan a significant Scandinavian
upgrade. In the end, beauty serves purpose
and life enjoys spice.

Power alone does
not make us powerful.
Performance like this deserves an audience. Especially
the top-of-the line, five-cylinder D4. It brings 400 Nm of
persuasion to the party along with the wisdom to make
the most of every drop of fuel. Of course, every Volvo
engine delivers a feeling of safety that comes with its
ability to respond instantly. But no matter which engine
you choose, rest assured the distribution of power will
be most efficient.

Necessity is the mother of all Volvos.
In order to reduce the environmental impact of our cars, Volvo is introducing the DRIVe programme
along with this superbly agile and hyper-efficient Volvo S40 DRIVe with Start/Stop technology.
Aerodynamically-optimised to save fuel, and emitting only 104 grams of CO2per kilometre (3.9 l/100 km),
form and function have never been better served.

Communication is everything.
Especially between you and the road.
At the centre of this universe, there’s you. Every control and instrument is designed to
help you make informed decisions with ease. After all, the art of total command is greatly
enhanced by a comfortable driving position, intuitive controls and effortless handling
– the same things that help make this Volvo S40 very fun to drive.

Modern art meets modern life
(hence the cup holders).
Inspired by modern furniture design, there is nothing fussy here – just smart, Scandinavian
design that manages to reduce stress and simplify the use of some very sophisticated
onboard technology. The floating centre console presents controls for the infotainment
and climate systems within easy reach while hundreds of considerate details, quality
materials, and innovative storage solutions surround you and your guests. The bent wood
centre stack seen here features real oak-finish so you can feel the wood grain. In fact,
all Volvo wood inlays use real wood. Inlays are also available in real aluminium and if you
choose Volvo’s genuine leather, it’s nice to know a safer chrome-free process is used to
cure it so beautifully.

Here you can advance and retreat at the same time.
An oasis of thoughtful ergonomic details and practical amenities
await you and yours inside. Some of these touches you notice at
once, others you will only fully appreciate after hours of driving.
Safety is, no doubt, our first priority. And feeling safe and in control
could be why the world’s most comfortable seats are said to be
found in a Volvo.

Sure, we’ve got room for that.
Like every Volvo, this car is built to provide an intelligent mix of performance and
practicality. Simply folding down one or both of the 60/40-split rear-seat backrests
can increase the boot’s 404-litre capacity. For longer items, the height-adjustable
front passenger seat folds down flat.
