Emissions Warranties - U.S. and Canada

Parts
Use of replacement parts which are not
equivalent to Volvo quality may impair the ef-
fectiveness of emission control systems. If
other than genuine Volvo parts or genuine
Volvo remanufactured parts are used for
maintenance, repair, or replacement of com-
ponents affecting emission control, the own-
er must obtain assurances that such parts
are warranted by their manufacturer to be
equivalent to genuine Volvo parts in perfor-
mance and durability. Volvo assumes no lia-
bility under this warranty for parts other than
genuine Volvo parts or genuine Volvo reman-
ufactured 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 re-
tailer at his place of business with no charge
for parts or labor (including diagnosis), using
genuine Volvo parts or genuine Volvo reman-
ufactured 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 per-
formed at any available service establish-
ment. Volvo will reimburse the owner for
such repairs (including labor, in most cases)
that are covered under this warranty. Re-
placed parts and paid invoices must be pre-
sented 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 2013
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 per-
form maintenance resulted in the failure of a
warranted part.
Receipts covering the performance of regular
maintenance must be retained for reference
and confirmation purposes.
What Is Not Warranted
1. Required maintenance services as speci-
fied in the Owner's Manual and pages 14-
16 of this booklet. Items that affect emis-
sions and require scheduled replacement
are warranted up to their first replacement
point, [such as spark plugs, filters, belts,
etc.]. Once these parts have been re-
placed 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 ad-
justments, modification, alteration, tam-
pering, disconnection of system parts,
and improper, inadequate or non-main-
tenance.
3. Damage resulting from accidents, acts
of nature, and events beyond the con-
trol 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 10-12
of this booklet, the Owner's Manual, or
Volvo Service Literature.
5. Repairs on vehicles for which the true
odometer mileage cannot be readily de-
termined.
6. The cost incurred from the use of parts
other than genuine Volvo replacement
