Seatbelt and Supplemental Restraint Systems Limited Warranty - U.S.
Seatbelt and Supplemental Restraint Systems Warranty - Canada

What Is Warranted

Volvo warrants that repairs required due to defects in the material or workmanship to the seatbelt system and Supplemental Restraint System(SRS) installed in your 2000/2001 model year vehicle will be performed free-of-charge during the warranty period (except for those items listed under "What Is Not Warranted").

Limitations

No implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose shall apply except during the applicable periods of this warranty.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state, province to province. Some states/provinces do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations may not apply to you.

For a complete description of Volvo's "Limitations and Disclaimers," refer to page 14.

The Warranty Period

The warranty period is five (5) years and has no mileage/kilometer limitation.* It begins with the date the vehicle is sold/delivered to the first retail purchaser or put into service, whichever occurs first.

What Is Not Warranted

• Seatbelt system and Supplemental Restraint System components which show evidence of damage because of abuse, misuse, negligence, tampering, or improper installation.

• Replacement of seatbelt system or Supplemental Restraint System components after a vehicle has been involved in a collision.

• The loss of vehicle use, loss of time, inconvenience or other incidental charges, such as telephone calls, towing, lodging, car rental, or food, or other consequential damages except where required by law.

• Repairs required as part of normal maintenance.

• Replacement of components in accordance with the maintenance schedule.

* In the U.S. some states have mandated alternate warranty coverage for seatbelts only. Contact your Volvo retailer for details of local requirements.

Seatbelts: "Something We Believe In"

Despite our strongest recommendations, and your best intentions, not wearing a seatbelt is like believing "it'll never happen to me!"

Seatbelts are an integral part of the safety system engineered into each Volvo.

Volvo urges you and all adult occupants of your car to properly wear seatbelts in all seating positions, and ensure that children are properly restrained in the rear seats only, using an infant car seat or booster seat determined by age, weight and height.

Fact: In every state, some type of child-restraint legislation has been passed. Additionally, most states have already made it mandatory for occupants of a car to use seatbelts.

So, urging you to "buckle up" is not just our recommendation - it's becoming the law! The few seconds it takes to buckle up may one day allow you to say, "It's a good thing I was wearing my seatbelt."

Instructions for proper seatbelt usage can be found in your Owner's Manual.

Emission Warranties - U.S. and Canada

Design and Defect Warranty

What Is Warranted-U.S.

Volvo warrants that your 2000/2001 model year Volvo was designed, built, and equipped to conform at the time of sale to U.S. emission standards, in accordance with Section 207(A) of the Federal Clean Air Act, which was applicable when the vehicle was manufactured.

What Is Warranted-Canada

Volvo warrants that your 2000/2001 model year Volvo was designed, built, and equipped to conform at the time of sale to Canadian emission standards, in accordance with the Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Act, which was applicable when the vehicle was manufactured.

U.S. and Canada

This warranty covers repairs resulting from any defect in material or workmanship which would cause the vehicle not to meet emission standards during the applicable warranty period. Some components considered part of the emission system applicable to this warranty appear on pages 32 and 33.

This emission warranty is not conditionally based on the use of genuine Volvo parts or service. However, failures which occur as a result of abuse or lack of maintenance are not eligible for coverage.

Warranty Period

The federal emissions design and defect warranty period is two (2) years or 24,000 miles/40,000 kilometers, whichever occurs first. Volvo continues coverage under new car warranty to four (4) years or 50,000 miles/80,000 kilometers, whichever occurs first, except for certain specified major emissions components for which the coverage is eight (8) years or 80,000 miles/130,000 kilometers, whichever occurs first. These major components include only the three-way catalytic converter (TWC), electronic control module (ECM) and the on-board diagnostic system (OBD). (Refer to the 2000/2001 Emission Warranty Parts List for specific components' coverage.) The warranty begins on the date the vehicle is sold/delivered to the first retail purchaser or put into service, whichever occurs first. Any remaining portion of the warranty is fully transferable to subsequent owners free-of-charge.

Where the Warranty Applies

This warranty applies to 2000/2001 model year vehicles sold by Volvo Cars of North America, Inc., or Volvo Cars of Canada Ltd., certified for sale, registered and normally operated in any of the 50 states, the provinces of Canada, the District of Columbia, or any territories or commonwealths of the United States.

Repairs and Service

The emission control system of your new 2000/2001 model year Volvo passenger car was designed, built, and tested using genuine Volvo parts. The car is certified to be in conformity with the appropriate U.S. Federal or Canadian emission control regulations at the time of production.

Servicing

It is recommended that any replacement parts used for maintenance, repair, or replacement of emission control systems be genuine Volvo parts or genuine Volvo remanufactured parts.

You may elect to have maintenance, repair, or replacement of the emission control devices and systems performed by any automotive repair establishment or individual. You may also elect to use parts other than genuine Volvo parts or genuine Volvo remanufactured parts which have been certified by the part manufacturer for such maintenance, repair, or replacement without invalidating this warranty. The cost of such service or parts, however, will not be covered under the warranty.

Parts

Use of replacement parts which are not equivalent to Volvo quality may impair the effectiveness of emission control systems. If other than genuine Volvo parts or genuine Volvo remanufactured parts are used for maintenance, repair, or replacement of components affecting emission control, the owner must obtain assurances that such parts are warranted by their manufacturer to be equivalent to genuine Volvo parts in performance and durability. Volvo assumes no liability under this warranty for parts other than genuine Volvo parts or genuine Volvo remanufactured parts. However, the use of non-Volvo replacement parts does not invalidate the warranty on other components unless the non-Volvo parts cause damage to warranted parts or systems.

Retailer Service

Repairs and service covered by this warranty will be performed by an authorized Volvo retailer at his place of business with no charge for parts or labor (including diagnosis), using genuine Volvo parts or genuine Volvo remanufactured parts for any part of the emission control system covered by this warranty and found defective.

If an emergency occurs and no authorized Volvo retailer is available, repairs may be performed at any available service establishment. Volvo will reimburse the owner for such repairs (including labor, in most cases) that are covered under this warranty. Replaced parts and paid invoices must be presented at a Volvo retail facility as a condition of reimbursement for emergency repairs not performed by a Volvo retailer.

We encourage you to have all recommended maintenance and repairs on your new 2000/2001 Volvo vehicle completed. Volvo will not deny a warranty claim solely because you have no record of maintenance; however, Volvo may deny a warranty claim if your failure to perform maintenance resulted in the failure of a warranted part.

Receipts covering the performance of regular maintenance must be retained for reference and confirmation purposes. The receipts must be transferred to each subsequent owner of this car.

What Is Not Warranted

1. Required maintenance services as specified in the Owner's Manual and pages 53-55 of this booklet. Items that affect emissions and require scheduled replacement are warranted up to their first replacement point, [such as spark plugs (at 30,000 miles), filters, belts, etc.]. Once these parts have been replaced at the scheduled replacement point, they are no longer covered by this Emissions Warranty. The replaced parts are covered by the one year spare parts warranty.

2. Malfunctions in any part caused by any of the following: misuse, improper adjustments, modification, alteration, tampering, disconnection of system parts, and improper, inadequate or non-maintenance.

3. Damage resulting from accidents, acts of nature, and events beyond the control of Volvo.

4. The use of fuel and/or oil or other fluids which do not meet the Volvo-approved standards as set forth on pages 56 and 57 of this booklet, the Owner's Manual, or Volvo Service Literature.

5. Repairs on vehicles for which the true odometer mileage cannot be readily determined.

6. The cost incurred from the use of parts other than genuine Volvo replacement parts or genuine Volvo remanufactured parts used for maintenance, repair or replacement affecting components of the emission control system.

7. Any loss of time, inconvenience, loss of vehicle use or commercial loss.

Performance - U.S./British Columbia

Emission Performance Warranty-U.S. and the Province of British Columbia Only

Exceptions

In accordance with Section 207(B) of the Clean Air Act, and the British Columbia Emission Control System Warranty Regulations, Volvo warrants to the first vehicle purchaser and each subsequent purchaser, that if

1. the vehicle is maintained and operated in accordance with the written instructions for proper maintenance and use (Refer to the Owner's Manual under the section titled "Service and Routine Maintenance" and pages 53-55 of this booklet), and

2. the vehicle fails to conform at any time during the first 24,000 miles/40,000 kilometers or two (2) years (whichever occurs first) to the applicable emission standards as judged by an EPA-approved emission test, or the British Columbia Air Care Program, and

3. such non-conformity will result in the vehicle owner having to bear any penalty or other sanction (including denial of the right to use the vehicle) under local, state, federal or provincial law, then Volvo shall remedy the non-conformity at no cost to the owner.

Some components considered part of the two (2) Year/24,000 mile/40,000 kilometer Emission Performance Warranty are listed on pages 32 and 33.

1. If the vehicle has been in operation for more than two (2) years or 24,000 miles/40,000 kilometers, Volvo will remedy only those non-conformities resulting from failure of certain specified emission control components for which coverage is eight (8) years or 80,000 miles/130,000 kilometers, whichever occurs first. These major components include only the three-way catalytic converter (TWC), electronic control module (ECM) and the on-board diagnostic system (OBD)

2. Volvo may deny an Emission Performance
Warranty claim on the basis of an uncertified replacement part used in the maintenance and
repair of a vehicle if the part in question is either defective in material or workmanship or not equivalent from an emission standpoint to the original equipment part.

3. An Emission Performance Warranty claim may be denied on the basis of non-compliance by a vehicle owner with the written instructions for proper maintenance and use.

Servicing

It is recommended that any replacement parts used for maintenance, repair or replacement of emission control systems be genuine Volvo parts or genuine Volvo remanufactured parts.

You may elect to have maintenance, repair, or replacement of the emission control devices and systems performed by any automotive repair establishment or individual. You may also elect to use parts other than genuine Volvo parts or genuine Volvo remanufactured parts which have been certified by the part manufacturer for such maintenance, repair or replacement without invalidating this warranty. The cost of such service or parts however, will not be covered under the warranty.

Warranty Claim Procedures

An Emission Performance Warranty claim may be raised immediately upon the failure of an EPA-approved emission test or British Columbia Air Care Test, if, as a result of that failure, an owner is required by law to take action of any kind in order to avoid imposition of a penalty or sanction. A warranty claim may be generated by bringing a vehicle to any authorized Volvo retailer. To the extent required by any federal, state, or provincial law, whether statutory or common law, a vehicle manufacturer shall be required to provide a means for non-franchised repair facilities to perform Emission Performance Warranty repairs.

However, to avoid delay and ensure proper service, it is recommended that service under this warranty be performed by an authorized Volvo retailer.

When determining whether an owner has complied with the written instructions for proper maintenance
and use, Volvo may require an owner to submit evidence of compliance if it has an objective reason for believing:

1. maintenance was not performed and,

2. that if not performed, it could be the cause of the vehicle exceeding applicable emission standards.

Failure to notify the owner of a decision to honor or deny an Emission Performance Warranty claim within thirty (30) days from the time the vehicle is presented for repair shall result in the vehicle manufacturer being responsible for repairing the vehicle without charge to the vehicle owner, unless such failure is attributable to the vehicle owner or to events which are beyond the control of the vehicle manufacturer or repair facility.
