"No sir, my Brakelight is not out...but thanks for asking!"


Rain, Snow, and Fog...all conditions in which you might see a Volvo with what looks like one brake light on. But in most of those scenarios, that isn't the case. For decades Volvo has been equipping their vehicles with Rear Foglights...a light brighter than your tail lights to be used in hazardous driving conditions with low visibility..like fog (hence the name!). What these lights do is help OTHER drivers see you, improving safety for both you and drivers behind you.

I was reminded a few weeks ago that not everyone who owns a Volvo knows about their rear foglight. In fact, while I was pulling into my driveway, a neighbor who owns an older S70 stopped to tell me my brake light was out. I informed him what it was, and that his car had one as well! Just a small part of Volvo's commitment to safety.

So if you own a Volvo and you don't know where your switch is...just look for the amber fog light symbol...the one pointing the opposite direction of your front fog lights.


To find your rear-foglight standard Volvo, visit Lehman Volvo in York www.lehmanvolvoyork.com or Lehman Volvo in Mechanicsburg www.lehmanvolvo.com

The single rear fog light on my Volvo is the weirdest looking safety mechanism known to man.

Why doesn't Volvo equip their cars with a fog lights one each side for even better visibility? Even Volvo can't answer that one. Perhaps, it's cost savings over safety.

Here is your Volvo Safety...

Image
What you see above is the result of an accident between a tractor trailer, a Volvo XC60...and another tractor trailer. If you think the end result is devastating, just be aware...the driver and passenger of the Volvo XC60 walked away from this accident with only minor injuries. This accident happened in Brussels a couple of days ago, here is some of the report from their newspaper: A car containing a mother and daughter crashed into the back of a truck. The vehicle disappeared completely under the rear end of the heavy truck. To make matters worse, a heavy truck crashed into the Volvo XC60 from behind. The result was a lot of scrap. The emergency services had to rescue the two women from the car, who were trapped for more than one hour. The fire brigade had to cut off the roof of the vehicle before being able to set them free. The two ladies must have had a guardian angel as they got off with only minor injuries. They were taken to the hospital for a routine check up So wh

How do I get one of those red plates?!

Image
It's a question we get every now and then. "How do I get one of those red plates?"...those red plates you see on various Volvos in Central Pennsylvania are actually Swedish Tourist plates. And the way to get them is to purchase your next new Volvo from Lehman Volvo through the Overseas Delivery program. In addition to being the BEST way to purchase your new Volvo, the Overseas Delivery program provides you with complimentary airfare for 2 to Sweden, a complimentary hotel stay and yes...that little red plate. Its another benefit to the program...Volvo provides you with complimentary European registration and Insuraunce for up to 14 days. And with that, your vehicle becomes a tourist vehicle. Once it reaches the US, Volvo makes sure that your red tag stays with the car, so you have a very cool and unique souvenier to remind you of the time you drove your Volvo in Sweden.
