[. . . ] 83 Starting and driving Carbon Monoxide - Important Warning Carbon monoxide is a poisonous, colorless, and odorless gas. If you ever smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, make sure the passenger compartment is ventilated, and immediately return the vehicle to your retailer for correction. Fuel Formulations Do not use gasoline that contains lead as a knock inhibitor, and do not use lead additives. Besides damaging the exhaust emission control systems on your car, lead has been strongly linked to certain forms of cancer. Many fuels contain benzene as a solvent. Unburned benzene has been strongly linked to certain forms of cancer. If you live in an area where you must fill your own gas tank, take precautions. These may include: standing upwind away from the filler nozzle while refueling q refueling only at gas stations with vapor recovery systems that fully seal the mouth of the filler neck during refueling q wear neoprene gloves while handling a fuel filler nozzle. q Use of Additives With the exception of gas line antifreeze during winter months, do not add solvents, thickeners, or other store-bought additives to your car's fuel, cooling, or lubricating systems. Overuse may damage your engine, and some of these additives contain organically volatile chemicals. Do not needlessly expose yourself to these chemicals. file:///K|/ownersdocs/2006/2006_S60/06s60_08a. htm (3 of 23)12/30/2006 4:47:15 PM 2006 Volvo S60 WARNING!Never carry a cell phone that is switched on while refueling your vehicle.
