Valet or service locking
By utilizing the remote control with the key blade removed, the valet lo\
cking feature enables you to block access to the trunk and
glove compartment for e.g., valet parking or when the car is brought to \
the retailer for service.

With the valet locking function activated:
l The vehicle's doors can be locked or unlocked
l The engine can be started
l Locking points C, D, E, and F cannot be unlocked with the remote control\
.
Activating the valet locking function
The first stages of opening the power retractable hard top offer tempora\
ry access to the contents of the trunk. Therefore, before
activating valet locking, the power retractable hard top must be up and \
the trunk divider must be open (up), see
page 93. This makes
it impossible to operate the power retractable hard top.

122 06 Starting and driving
General information
Economical driving conserves natural resources
Better driving economy may be obtained by thinking ahead, avoiding rapid\
starts and stops and adjusting
the speed of your vehicle to immediate traffic conditions.
Observe the following rules:
l Bring the engine to normal operating temperature as soon as possible by \
driving with a light foot on the
accelerator pedal for the first few minutes of operation. A cold engine \
uses more fuel and is subject to
increased wear.
l Whenever possible, avoid using the vehicle for driving short distances. \
This does not allow the engine
to reach normal operating temperature.
l Drive carefully and avoid rapid acceleration and hard braking.
l Use the transmission's Drive (D) position as often as possible and avo\
id using kickdown.
l Do not exceed posted speed limits.
l Avoid carrying unnecessary items (extra load) in the vehicle.
l Maintain correct tire pressure. Check tire pressure regularly (when tir\
es are cold).
l Remove snow tires when threat of snow or ice has ended.
l At highway driving speeds, fuel consumption will be lower with the air c\
onditioning on and the
windows closed than with the air conditioning off and the windows open. \
l Using the onboard trip computer's fuel consumption modes can help you le\
arn how to drive more
economically.
Other factors that decrease gas mileage are:
l Dirty air cleaner
l Dirty engine oil and clogged oil filter
l Dragging brakes
l Incorrect front end alignment
Some of the above mentioned items and others are checked at the standard\
maintenance intervals.
Avoid overheating the engine
Do not drive at engine speeds above 4,500 rpm if you tow a trailer in hi\
lly areas. This could cause the
engine oil to overheat.

2007 Volvo C70
CAUTION
l Engine damage will occur if water is drawn into the air cleaner.
l If the vehicle is driven through water deeper than 9 in (25 cm), water\
may enter the differential and
the transmission. This reduces the oil's lubricating capacity and may sh\
orten the service life of these
components.
l Do not allow the vehicle to stand in water up to the door sills longer t\
han absolutely necessary. This
could result in electrical malfunctions.
l If the engine has been stopped while the car is in water, do not attempt\
to restart the engine. Have the
car towed out of the water.
Cold weather precautions
If you wish to check your vehicle before the approach of cold weather, t\
he following advice is worth
noting:
l Make sure that the engine coolant contains 50 percent antifreeze. Any ot\
her mixture will reduce freeze
protection. This gives protection against freezing down to - 31°F (-\
35°C). See section "Coolant". The use
of "recycled" antifreeze is not approved by Volvo. Different types of an\
tifreeze must not be mixed.
l Volvo recommends using only genuine Volvo antifreeze in your vehicle's r\
adiator. Your Volvo retailer
stocks plenty of Volvo engine coolant to help protect your vehicle durin\
g cold weather.
l Try to keep the fuel tank well filled - this prevents the formation of c\
ondensation in the tank. In
addition, in extremely cold weather conditions it is worthwhile to add f\
uel line de-icer before refueling.
l The viscosity of the engine oil is important. Oil with low viscosity (t\
hinner oil) improves cold-weather
starting as well as decreasing fuel consumption while the engine is warm\
ing up. For winter use, 5W-30
oil, particularly the synthetic type
1, is recommended. Be sure to use good quality oil but do not use cold-
weather oil for hard driving or in warm weather. See
page 239 for more information.
l The load placed on the battery is greater during the winter since the wi\
ndshield wipers, lighting, etc. are
used more often. Moreover, the capacity of the battery decreases as the \
temperature drops. In very cold
weather, a poorly charged battery can freeze and be damaged. It is there\
fore advisable to check the state
of
1Synthetic oil is not used when the oil is changed at the normal maintena\
nce intervals except at owner request and
at additional charge. Please consult your Volvo retailer.

General information
charge more frequently and spray an antirust oil on the battery posts.
l Volvo recommends the use of snow tires on all four wheels for winter dri\
ving - see the chapter "Wheels
and tires."
