Always fasten the seat belts before you drive or ride.
Two lights above the rear view mirror will be illuminated for 4-8 seconds after the starting (ignition) key is turned to
the driving position. A chime will sound at the same time if the driver has not fastened his seat belt. The rear seats are
provided with self - retracting inertia reel belts. The front seats are provided with single roller belts with tensioners.
To buckle:
Pull the belt out far enough to insert the latch plate into the receptacle (buckle for rear seats) until a distinct snapping
sound is heard. The seat belt retractor is normally "unlocked" and you can move freely, provided that the shoulder belt
is not pulled out too far. The retractor will lock up as follows:
· if the belt is pulled out rapidly
· during braking and acceleration
· if the vehicle is leaning excessively
· when driving in turns
For the seat belt to provide maximum protection in the event of an accident, it must be worn correctly. When wearing
the seat belt remember:
· The belt should not be twisted or turned.
· The lap belt must be positioned low on the hips (not pressing against the abdomen).
Make sure that the shoulder belt is rolled up into its retractor and that the shoulder and lap belts are taut. Before exiting
the car, check that the seat belt retracts fully after being unbuckled. If necessary, guide the belt back into the retractor
slot.
NOTE: Legislation in your state or province may mandate seat belt usage.
For information on securing child seats, please refer to page 11.
WARNING!
The rear seat of the Volvo C70 is intended for two occupants only. Only two three-point seat belts are provided. The
center position should never be used to seat a passenger.
WARNING!
· Any device used to induce slack into the shoulder belt portion of the three-point belt system will have a detrimental
effect on the amount of protection available to you in the event of a collision. The seat back should not be tilted too
far back. The shoulder belt must be taut in order to function properly.

Wind deflector (option/accessory)
Installing the wind deflector:
· Fold out the panels on the sides of the wind deflector (1).
· Slide the two metal slats on the wind deflector under the rear seat head restraints (2). Slide them carefully to avoid
damaging the upholstery.
· Press the catches (3) into the holes provided in the side panel until they click into place.
· Raise the wind deflector (4) 90°.
NOTE: The panels on the sides of the wind deflector can be folded under so that the deflector can be stored in the
trunk. The catches (3) must be pushed in (toward the center of the car) before the panels can be folded.
WARNING!
The wind deflector must be securely attached to help avoid injury to the occupants of the car or to other motorists.
pg. 46 Keys, doors and locks

Remote keyless entry system
Your car is equipped with a remote control transmitter. This transmitter uses a radio frequency which will allow
"keyless" entry into the passenger compartment or the trunk. You will be supplied with two coded key ring
transmitters, which will enable you to lock/unlock both doors and the trunk from a distance of 10-15 feet (3-5 meters).
On vehicles equipped with an alarm, the alarm will also be activated/deactivated by this system.
The car can also be locked/unlocked with the key.
As an extra security precaution in certain situations (valet parking, etc.), Volvo recommends that the transmitter not be
included when the keys are given to anyone. The service key can be used instead. If one of the transmitters is
misplaced, contact the nearest authorized Volvo retailer for assistance.
Using the remote control
· Press the LOCK button once to lock both doors and the trunk.
· Press the UNLOCK button once to unlock the driver's door only. Press this button again (within 10 seconds) to
unlock both doors and the trunk.
· Press the OPEN trunk button twice within 3 seconds to pop open the trunk.
NOTE :
If only the driver's door is unlocked, the lock will automatically reengage (re-lock) and the alarm will reset after 2
minutes unless the door has been opened.
The lock/unlock and alarm features can also be utilized by using the keys. See section: Doors and Locks on page 42.
If the alarm LED glows continuously for 5 seconds, this indicates a fault in the system
or that a door is not properly closed.
: To avoid leaving your keys in the car, make a habit of always locking the car with the remote control.
WARNING!
Volvo does not recommend using the transmitter to lock the doors from inside the car. On cars equipped with an
alarm, the alarm would be activated and would sound when one of the doors is opened. The doors must not be
locked using the remote transmitter while the vehicle is occupied. In case of an accident, this may hinder rapid
access to the occupants of the vehicle. The alarm will also sound on models equipped with this feature.

To temporarily disconnect the sensor(s) from the alarm system:
· With both doors closed, switch off the ignition and remove the key from the ignition switch
· Press the locking (left) side of the central locking button on the driver's door for at least 3 seconds
· The doors will first lock and then unlock after 3 seconds to confirm that the sensors have been disconnected
The car can then be locked in the usual way to set the alarm.
NOTE: The sensors will automatically be reconnected to the alarm system the next time the ignition is switched on.
LED alarm status signals
The status of the alarm system is indicated by the red LED at the top center of the dash:
· LED off - the alarm is not armed (set)
· LED flashes once per second - the alarm is armed (set)
· LED flashes rapidly before the ignition is switched on - the alarm has been triggered
· LED flashes rapidly for 15 seconds after the ignition has been switched on - a fault has been detected in the alarm
system. Contact a Volvo retailer.
Batteries
Each remote transmitter is powered by a three-volt battery, type CR 2016. If the range of the transmitter is noticeably
reduced, this indicates that the battery is weak and should be replaced.
Replacement: Remove the battery cover on the back of the transmitter with a coin. Replace the battery. Reinstall the
cover, making sure it is secured tightly to help protect the transmitter.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to service or repair any components of the alarm system yourself. This should only be
done by an authorized Volvo retailer.

gasoline or paint thinner. Difficult spots can be removed with denatured alcohol. To avoid scratches, do not dry the
bumpers with paper.

pg. 111 Automatic car washing, Polishing and waxing
Automatic washing simple and quick
An automatic wash is a simple and quick way to clean your car, but it is worth remembering that it may not be as
thorough as when you yourself go over the car with sponge and water. Keeping the underbody clean is most important,
especially in the winter. Some automatic washers do not have facilities for washing the underbody.
Before driving into an automatic wash, make sure that side view mirrors, auxiliary lamps, etc., are secure, otherwise
there is risk of the machine dislodging them. You should also lower the antenna by turning off the radio.
We do NOT recommend washing your car in an automatic wash during the first six months (because the paint
will not have hardened sufficiently).
Cleaning the convertible top - C70 Convertible
CAUTION:
Some automatic car washes can damage the convertible top. For this reason, we recommend washing the car by
hand only.
Remember that the windows are lowered slightly when the convertible top is raised. Be sure the windows are closed
and the convertible top is completely raised and properly in place at the upper edge of the windshield before washing
the car. A chime indicates when the top has been fully raised (see page 44
).
Wash the convertible top with a mild detergent, wiping from the front towards the rear. Rinse thoroughly with clean
water.
Do not wash the convertible top with a high pressure spray.
After washing, the convertible top should be completely dry before it is folded down.
Remove bird droppings from the convertible top as soon as possible. Otherwise the top may be permanently stained.
A soft brush can be used to clean the convertible top between washings.
Winter: remove any residue of road salt from the convertible top as soon as possible.
Do not use solvents, tar remover or other all-purpose stain removers to clean the convertible top. Use Volvo
approved cleaning agents only - consult your Volvo retailer.
Polishing and waxing
Normally, polishing is not required during the first year after delivery, however, waxing may be beneficial.
Before applying polish or wax the car must be washed and dried. Tar spots can be removed with kerosene or tar
remover. Difficult spots may require a fine rubbing compound.
After polishing use liquid or paste wax.
Several commercially available products contain both polish and wax.
Waxing alone does not substitute for polishing a dull surface.

HomeLink® Universal Transceiver
HomeLink® is an advanced system that can be programmed to learn the codes of three different remote controlled-
devices (e.g., garage door openers, remote lighting, entry door lock). HomeLink®'s sun visor-mounted transceiver,
powered by your car's electrical system, may then be used in place of your hand -held remote controls.
