steering VOLVO C70 2008 Owner's Guide

Temporarily repairing a flat tire is done in two stages:
Stage 1: The hole is sealed by pumping sealing compound into the tire. The car is then driven a short distance to
distribute the sealing compound in the tire.
NOTE
Do not remove any foreign objects (nails, etc.) from the tire before using the sealing system.
NOTE
Stage 2: The tire's inflation pressure is checked and adjusted if necessary.
WARNING
Never leave the tire sealing system unattended when it is operating.
Keep the tire sealing system away from children.
Be sure the vehicle is parked safely off the road and away from moving traffic.
Apply the parking brake.
Stage 1: Sealing the hole
1. Open the cover on the tire sealing kit.
2. Peel off the speed limit sticker and affix it to the steering wheel hub where it will be clearly visible to the driver.
3. Ensure that the on/off switch is in position 0 (the 0 side of the switch should be pressed down).
4. Put on the gloves included in the tire sealing system.
5. Unscrew the orange cover over the bottle holder and unscrew the cap on the bottle of sealing compound.
NOTE
Do not break the seal on the bottle. This occurs automatically when the bottle is screwed into the holder.
6. Screw the bottle into the bottle holder.
WARNING
The bottle is equipped with a catch to keep it securely in place and help prevent sealing compound leakage. Once in
place, the bottle cannot be unscrewed. This must be done by a Volvo retailer.
7. Remove the valve cap from the tire's inflation valve and screw the tire sealing system's hose connector onto the
valve as tightly as possible by hand.
8. Connect the electrical wire to the nearest 12-volt socket in the vehicle.

9. Start the vehicle's engine.
WARNING
The vehicle's engine should be running when the tire sealing system is used to avoid battery drain. Therefore, be sure
the vehicle is parked in a well ventilated place, or outdoors, before using the system.
10. Start the tire sealing system's compressor by pressing the on/off switch to position I .
WARNING
Never stand next to the tire being inflated when the compressor is in operation.
If cracks, bubbles, etc. form on the tire, switch off the compressor immediately.
If there is visible damage to the sidewall or the rim, the tire cannot be repaired. The vehicle should not be driven if
this occurs. Contact a towing service or Volvo On Call Roadside Assistance if applicable.
NOTE
The air pressure gauge will temporarily show an increase in pressure to approximately 88 psi (6 bar) while the
sealing compound is being pumped into the tire. The pressure should return to a normal level after approximately 30
seconds.
11. Within seven minutes, inflate the tire to between 22-44 psi (1.8-3.0 bar). Switch off the compressor briefly to get a
clear reading from the pressure gauge.
CAUTION
The compressor should not be used for more than 10 minutes at a time to avoid overheating.
WARNING
If the pressure remains below 22 psi (1.8 bar) after approximately seven minutes, turn off the compressor. In this
case, the hole is too large to be sealed and the vehicle should not be driven.
12. Switch off the compressor and disconnect the electrical wire from the 12-volt socket.
13. Unscrew the hose from the tire's inflation valve and reinstall the valve cap.
14. Immediately drive the vehicle for approximately 2 miles (3 km) at a maximum speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) to
distribute the sealing compound in the tire.
NOTE
Safely stow the tire sealing system in a convenient place as it will soon be used again to check the tire's inflation
pressure.
After use, the empty bottle of sealing compound cannot be removed from the bottle holder. Consult a Volvo
retailer to have the bottle removed and properly disposed of.
WARNING
If heavy vibrations, unsteady steering behavior, or noises should occur while driving, reduce speed and park the

The brake fluid should always be between the MIN and MAX marks on the side of the reservoir. Check, without
removing the cap, that there is sufficient fluid in the reservoir.
Fluid type: DOT 4+ boiling point > 536°F (280°C), P/N 9437433
Replace : The fluid should be replaced according to the intervals specified in the Warranty and Service Records
Information booklet. When driving under extremely hard conditions (mountain driving, etc), it may be necessary to
replace the fluid more often. Consult your Volvo retailer. Always entrust brake fluid changing to a trained and
qualified Volvo service technician.
Power steering fluid
The fluid level is checked at each service interval.
Fluid type : Volvo power steering fluid or equivalent.
Replace : No fluid change required.
WARNING
If a problem should occur in the power steering system or if the vehicle has no electrical current and must be towed,
it is still possible to steer the vehicle. However, keep in mind that greater effort will be required to turn the steering

USB/iPOD connector (option)
ProCarManuals.com

An auxiliary device, such as an iPOD or a USB flash drive can be connected to the audio system via the connector in
the center console storage compartment.
A sound source must be chosen, depending on the device that has been connected:
1. Use MODE to select iPOD or USB. The text CONNECT DEVICE will be displayed.
2. Connect the device to the connector in the center console storage compartment (see the illustration).
The text LOADING will be displayed while the system indexes the files on the device. This may take a short time.
When indexing has been completed, track information will be displayed, and the desired track can then be selected.
Tracks can be selected in two ways:
Turn the Tuning knob (no. 4 in the illustration on page 234) clockwise or counterclockwise
Use the right or left arrow keys on the navigation control (no. 5 in the illustration on page 239) to select the desired
track. The arrow keys on the steering wheel keypad can also be used in the same way.
NOTE
The system supports playback of files in the most common versions of formats such as mp3, wma, and wav.
However, there may be versions of these formats that the system does not support.
USB flash drive
To simplify the use of a USB flash drive, it is advisable to only store music files on the drive. It will take considerably
longer for the system to index the files on the drive if it contains anything other than compatible music files.
MP3 player
Many mp3 players have a file indexing system that is not supported by the vehicle's audio system. In order to use an
mp3 player, the system must be set to USB Removable device/Mass Storage Device.
iPod
An iPod receives current and its battery is charged through the connecting cord. However, if the iPOD's battery is
completely drained, it should be recharged before the iPOD is connected to the audio system.
NOTE
When an iPOD is used as a sound source, the vehicle's audio system has a menu structure similar to the one in the
iPOD. See the iPOD's manual for detailed information.

files. The length of time that this takes depends on the quality of the disc.
Navigating the disc and playing tracks
If a disc with audio files is in the CD player, press ENTER to display a list of folders on the disc.
Use the up and down arrows in the navigation control (see the illustration on page 234
) to move among the folders on
the disc. Audio files have the
symbol and folders containing these files have the symbol. Press ENTER to play a
selected folder or a file.
When the music file has been played, the player will continue to play the rest of the files in the current folder. When
all of the files in the folder have been played, the player will automatically go to the next folder and play the files in it.
Press the left or right arrow key on the navigation control if the entire name of the current track does not fit in the
display.
Changing tracks
Briefly press the left or right arrow keys on the MENU NAVIGATION control to skip to the previous or next
track/file.
NOTE
The TUNING dial (6) (turn clockwise to go to the next track/file, or counterclockwise to go to the previous
track/file) or the optional steering wheel keypad can also be used for this purpose.
Fast forward/back
Press and hold down the left or right arrows keys in the MENU NAVIGATION control (or the corresponding keys on
the optional steering wheel keypad) to search within a track/file or the whole disc. The search continues for as long as
