Emission Performance Warranty-U.S.
and Canada
The warranty begins on the date the vehicle
is sold/ delivered to the first retail purchaser
or put into service, whichever occurs first.
In accordance with Section 207(B) of the
Clean Air Act, Canadian MDU and Canadian
Provincial Warranty Regulations, Volvo war-
rants 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
page 8 of this booklet), and
2. the vehicle fails to conform at any time
during the first 24,000 miles/40,000 kilo-
meters or two (2) years (whichever oc-
curs first) to the applicable emission
standards as judged by an EPA ap-
proved or Canadian Provincial approved
emission short test, 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 compo-
nents considered part of the two (2)

those non-conformities resulting from fail-
ure of certain specified emission control
components for which coverage is eight (8)

ic converter (TWC), engine control module
and the on-board diagnostic system
(OBD).
2. Volvo may deny an Emission Perfor-
mance Warranty claim on the basis of an

the part in question is either defective in
material or workmanship or not equiva-
lent 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 main-
tenance and use.
