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.

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.
