reset VOLVO C70 1998 Owners Manual

The ABS system in your car performs a self -diagnostic test when the vehicle first reaches the speed of approximately
12 mph (20 km/h). The brake pedal will pulsate several times and a sound may be audible from the ABS control
module. This is normal.
Fuel tank cover
The fuel tank cover is locked and must be popped open using the control on the driver's door.
The pages in this section provide detailed descriptions of the vehicle's instruments and controls. Note that vehicles may
be equipped differently, depending on special legal requirements.

Sun visor: The sun roof also features a sliding sun visor. The visor slides back automatically when the sun roof is
opened and also slides back slightly when the sun roof is opened to the ventilation position. The visor must be closed
manually.
CAUTION: Do not close the sun visor when the sun roof is in the ventilation position as this could damage the
mechanism.
NOTE:
The electrically -operated sun roof has an overload protecting circuit breaker (fuse no. 37) which is activated when an
object blocks the sun roof. Should this occur, remove the object and wait 20 seconds for the circuit breaker to reset.
The sun roof should then function normally. Also check fuse no. 35.
WARNING! The sun roof must never be obstructed in any way when in operation.
pg. 42 Keys, doors and locks
Master key
This key operates all locks (ignition switch/steering wheel lock, driver's door, trunk and glove compartment).
Service key
This key operates the driver's door and the ignition switch/steering wheel lock.
NOTE:
As an added anti-theft measure, new keys have been developed which may take slightly longer to copy or replace if
the original keys are misplaced. Duplicate keys may be ordered from your Volvo retailer.
The key number codes are stamped on a separate tag supplied with the keys. This tag should be separated from the
key ring and kept in a safe place.
Doors and locks
Your car is equipped with a central locking system.
The key, used on the driver's door, the remote control, or central locking button, will lock/unlock both doors, and the
trunk.
Turn the key once to unlock the driver's door only.
Turn the key again (within 10 seconds) to unlock both doors and the trunk.
One turn with the key towards lock in the drivers door locks both doors and the trunk.
Use the switch on the front door armrests to lock/unlock the car from the inside.

pg. 133 Anti -theft code
Anti -theft code
The radio features anti-theft circuitry. If the set is removed from the vehicle or if the battery power is disconnected, a
special code must be entered to enable operation of the set.
Refer to the radio code card supplied with your vehicle or ask your retailer for the correct code.
When the car is parked with the ignition key removed, the anti-theft LED will flash.
To enter the code
After installation or when the set has been disconnected from power, the set displays "COdE" when it is switched on.
Enter the 4-digit code using the preset buttons. If the correct code is entered, "on" is displayed and the set is ready to
use.
If you enter an incorrect code you must enter the correct code again from the beginning.
Incorrect code
If an incorrect code has been entered "rPt" is displayed. Enter the correct code.
After three unsuccessful coding attempts the set will lock and remain locked for two hours. "OFF" is displayed.
During this waiting period:
the battery must be connected
the ignition key must be turned to position I
the unit must be turned on
Make sure the headlights are turned off to help prevent battery drain (please refer to page 24 for information on turning
the headlights off). Enter the code again once this time has elapsed.
