Accordingly, it is recommended that any re- placement parts used for maintenance, replacement or repair without invalidating this warranty; the cost of such services or or parts, however, will not be covered under the war- ranty except in an emergency situation. A part not being available or a repair not being completed within 30 days also constitutes an emergency. Use of replacement parts which are not of equivalent quality may impair the effectiveness of emission control systems. If other than Volvo parts are used for maintenance, owner should obtain assurances that suck parts are warranted by their manufacturer to be equiva- lent to genuine Volvo parts.
However, the use of other than Volvo replacement parts does not invalidate the warranty on other components, unless such parts cause damage to war- ranted parts.
