- Why does my vehicle's fuel consumption differ from the published figures?
The fuel consumption figures quoted in our product brochures are obtained using Government approved methods in controlled conditions. It is for that reason that all pricing and specification booklets will have a disclaimer which states that the results do not express or imply any guarantee of the fuel consumption of a particular car. We must also take into account that there are inevitable differences between individual cars of the same model along with driving style, road conditions, weight of the vehicle, use of air conditioning etc.

- Where do I place a toll-tag on my car?
Many of our vehicles do have equipment such as rain sensors, City Safety etc which are in the windscreen. The tag must not obscure any of the sensors. Please see the diagram below which indicates the standard placing for the tag i.e. inbetween Point A and B. Issues can occur if your car is fitted with an IR / heat reflective windscreen. In this case, there should be instructions in the owner’s manual explaining where to place the tag to avoid the IR film. Your local Volvo dealer will also be able to assist you if you have any queries.
