Join the advantage and get a 2004
Volvo S40 for an outstanding price-performance ratio.
One of the world's safest
bestselling mid-range cars – the safe, comfortable and fun
to drive Volvo S40 will be replaced by a new model next
spring.
For this reason,
Volvo Military Sales offers the Volvo S40 equipped with an
attractive luxury package where you can save up to $ 4.000.
It is the whole, not the individual parts, that determines how
safe a car is. In the Volvo S40, safety is built in from the
very start.
Many of the safety solutions are
available only in a Volvo – for example Volvo’s protection
systems for side and rear collisions. After all, the Volvo S40
is also among the safest cars in its class.
The Volvo S40 is as at home on narrow, winding roads as it is
on the motorway. Its ability to glide along on uneven roads
comes from the extremely stiff body and the individual
suspension. Front-wheel drive is combined with a well-tuned
chassis to make the car stable on all types of road surface.
Taut and physically responsive, the S40 keeps promises. Nimble
and crisp, it moves with 170 hp. twin-scroll turbo quickness.
Personal transportation is a choice.
Be pro-active.
One fundamental principle runs throughout Volvo’s history:
the respect for all life. This point of departure has allowed
Volvo to achieve leading positions both in maximizing safety
and in minimizing environmental impact. When you choose a
Volvo S40, you are buying one of the safest cars in its class
– and one where a great deal of effort has gone into
reducing environmental impact
The Volvo S40 has undergone improvements in a number of key
areas: safety, fuel consumption and, not least, design –
both inside and out.
In the area of safety, protection against side impacts has
been in firm focus. The Volvo IC (Inflatable Curtain) has been
further developed to improve protection in a collision with a
narrow hard object such as a lamppost or tree.
The side-impact curtain’s inflatable cells are now bigger
and deeper to offer protection for the car occupants’ heads.
The inflatable curtain deploys more quickly, and it is fully
inflated after just 30 thousandths of a second.
The exterior design of the Volvo S40 has undergone a few
select but important changes. The grille with its black egg
crate pattern lends a touch of added sportiness, while the
color-coordinated side and bumper moldings (option) create a
sense of heightened refinement. The headlamps have a black
surround with rings in front of the reflectors.
At the rear is another feature, a chrome-plated opener for the
luggage compartment.
Slip behind the wheel and you will immediately notice the new
instruments, designed along the lines of those found in
Volvo’s larger cars – the S60, S80 and V70: two large,
centrally positioned instruments flanked by two smaller dials.
This layout improves readability and the driver’s ability to
quickly assimilate the information he or she needs.
For personal security, the Volvo S40 is equipped with a key
remote control featuring an alarm button that activates the
alarm lights and the siren to discourage potential robbers.
The remote control has a foldable key blade.
The seats in the Volvo S40 owing to an entirely new backrest
design along the same lines as that found in Volvo’s larger
models – these are seats that are renowned as being among
the very best in the automobile world.

located near the rear-view mirror, and the necessary wiring. The
mobile telephone used must be Bluetooth-capable. Once a paired
link has been set up with the car’s Bluetooth module,
the telephone is recognized and connected automatically when

Models Best in Interior Air Quality According to New Study
An independent survey carried out by the Ecology Center in
Detroit shows that the interiors of Volvo’s cars emit lower
levels of toxic substances than other car makes.
The Ecology Center recently
presented a study (Toxic at Any Speed: Chemicals in Cars &
the Need for Safe Alternatives) of the toxic chemicals used in
building car interiors. Flame retardant PBDE and phthalates,
whose main use is as a softener in plastics, were included in
the study. These chemical substances can migrate from plastics
and textiles, particularly at high temperatures. The car’s
occupants may thus be exposed to these substances, for
instance through the respiratory system. Certain types of
phthalates and flame retardants can for instance promote
genetic mutations and can subject car occupants to health
hazards. The survey reveals that the concentrations of PBDE in
dust and on the windscreen are up to five times higher than in
the homes of most people, and since many people today spend a
lot of time in their cars, car interiors thus have a
significant effect on human health. For

Seats Get Top Scores in 2006 Thatcham Whiplash Tests
Once again, Volvo has
achieved top scores in the latest, 2006 model year new car
whiplash ratings by the UK's Motor Insurance Repair Research
Centre in Thatcham¹ which conducted the tests on behalf of
the International Insurance Whiplash Prevention Group (IIWPG).
In
fact, Volvo was one of only two manufacturers to achieve top
'Good' scores for every model tested² thanks to its
supportive seats which have a fixed head restraint position to
ensure they are always in the correct position to offer the
best support, and the Volvo Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS)
that moves the entire backrest to absorb the impact during a
rear-end collision to help reduce the forces on the neck.
