6 Introduction
General information
Shiftlock (automatic transmission)
When your car is parked, the gear selector is locked in the Park (P) position. To release the selector from this position, turn the igniti\
on
key to position II (or start the engine), depress the brake pedal, pre\
ss the button on the front side of the gear selector and move the selector
from Park (P).
Keylock (automatic transmission)
When the ignition is switched off, the gear selector must be in the Park\
(P) position before the key can be removed from the ignition
switch.
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
The ABS system in your car performs a self-diagnostic test when the vehi\
cle first reaches the speed of approximately 12 mph (20 km/ h).
The brake pedal will pulsate several times and a sound may be audible fr\
om the ABS control module. This is normal.
Fuel filler door
Press the button on the light switch panel when the car is at a standsti\
ll to open the fuel filler door.
Fuel filler cap
After refueling, close the fuel filler cap by turning it clockwise until\
it clicks into place. If this cap is not closed tightly or if the engine is
running when the car is refueled, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp ("Chec\
k Engine" light) may indicate a fault.
Points to keep in mind
l Before you operate your vehicle for the first time, please familiarize y\
ourself with the new-engine oil consumption information on page
191. You should also be familiar with the information found in the chapters\
"Instruments and controls," and "Starting and driving."
l Information contained in the balance of the manual is extremely useful a\
nd should be read after operating the vehicle for the first time.
l The manual is structured so that it can be used for reference. For this \
reason, it should be kept in the vehicle for ready access.
l Do not export your Volvo to another country before investigating that co\
untry's applicable safety and emission control requirements. In
some cases it may be difficult or impossible to comply with these requir\
ements. Modifications to the emission control system(s) may
render your Volvo not certifiable for legal operation in the U.S., Canad\
a and other countries.
l All information, illustrations and specifications contained in this manu\
al are based on the latest product information available at the

time of publication. Please note that some vehicles may be equipped diff\
erently, depending on special legal requirements. Optional
equipment described in this manual may not be available in all markets. \
l Volvo reserves the right to make model changes at any time, or to change\
specifications or design without notice and without incurring
obligation.
WARNING
If your vehicle is involved in an accident, unseen damage may affect its\
drivability and
safety.

7 Introduction
Volvo and the environment
Volvo is committed to the well being of its customers. As a natural part\
of this commitment, we care about the environment in which we
all live. Caring for the environment means an everyday involvement in re\
ducing our environmental impact. Volvo's environmental
activities are based on a holistic view, which means we consider the ove\
rall environmental impact of a product throughout its complete
life cycle. In this context, design, production, product use, and recycl\
ing are all important considerations. In production, Volvo has partly
or completely phased out several chemicals including CFCs, lead chromate\
s, asbestos, and cadmium; and reduced the number of
chemicals used in our plants 50% since 1991.
Volvo was the first in the world to introduce into production a three-wa\
y catalytic converter with a Lambda sond, now called the heated
oxygen sensor, in 1976. The current version of this highly efficient sys\
tem reduces emissions of harmful substances (CO, HC, NOx) from
the exhaust pipe by approximately 95-99% and the search to eliminate the\
remaining emissions continues. Volvo is the only automobile
manufacturer to offer CFC-free retrofit kits for the air conditioning sy\
stem of all models as far back as the 1975 model 240. Advanced
electronic engine controls and cleaner fuels are bringing us closer to o\
ur goal. After Volvo vehicles and parts have fulfilled their use,
recycling is the next critical step in completing the life cycle. The me\
tal content is about 75% of the total weight of a vehicle, which makes
the vehicle among the most recycled industrial products. In order to hav\
e efficient and well controlled recycling, all Volvo variants have
printed dismantling manuals, indicating the weight and material of indiv\
idual components. For Volvo, all homogeneous plastic parts
weighing more than 3.4 oz. (100 grams) are marked with international s\
ymbols that indicate how the component is to be sorted for
recycling. In addition to continuous environmental refinement of convent\
ional gasoline-powered internal combustion engines, Volvo is
actively looking at advanced technology alternative-fuel vehicles.
When you drive a Volvo, you become our partner in the work to lessen the\
car's impact on the environment. To reduce your vehicle's
environmental impact, you can:
l Maintain proper air pressure in your tires. Tests have shown decreased f\
uel economy with improperly inflated tires.
l Follow the recommended maintenance schedule in your Warranty and Service\
Records Information booklet.
l Drive at a constant speed whenever possible.
l See a trained and qualified Volvo service technician as soon as possible\
for inspection if the check engine (malfunction indicator) light
illuminates, or stays on after the vehicle has started.
l Properly dispose of any vehicle-related waste such as used motor oil, us\
ed batteries, brake pads, etc.
l When cleaning your vehicle, please use genuine Volvo car care products. \
All Volvo car care products are formulated to be
environmentally friendly.

14 01 Safety
Seat belts
Using seat belts
Volvo, the inventor of the three-point seat belt, urges you and all occu\
pants of your vehicle to wear seat
belts and ensure that children are properly restrained, using an infant,\
car, or booster seat determined by
age, weight and height.
Volvo also believes no child should sit in the front seat of a vehicle.
Most states and provinces make it mandatory for occupants of a vehicle t\
o use seat belts.
Seat belt tensioners
The front and rear outboard seat belts are equipped with tensioners that\
reduce slack in the belts. These
tensioners are triggered in situations where the airbags deploy. The fro\
nt seat belts also include a tension
reducing device which, in the event of a collision, limits the peak forc\
es exerted by the seat belt on the
occupant.
Buckling a seat belt
Pull the belt out far enough to insert the latch plate into the receptac\
le until a distinct click is heard. The
seat belt retractor is normally "unlocked" and you can move freely, prov\
ided that the shoulder belt is not
pulled out too far.

Check seat belt mechanism function as follows: attach the seat belt and \
pull rapidly on the strap.
17 01 Safety
Supplemental Restraint System
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
As an enhancement to the three-point seat belts, your Volvo is equipped \
with a Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS). Volvo's SRS consists of seat belt tensioners, front airb\
ags, side impact airbags, the
occupant weight sensor, and inflatable curtains. All of these systems ar\
e monitored by the SRS control
module. An SRS warning light in the instrument panel (see the illustrat\
ion above) illuminates when the
ignition key is turned to position I, II, or III, and will normally go o\
ut after approximately 7 seconds if no
faults are detected in the system.
Where applicable, a text message will also be displayed when the SRS war\
ning light illuminates. If this
warning symbol is not functioning properly, the general warning symbol
illuminates and either SRS
AIRBAG SERVICE URGENT or SRS AIRBAG SERVICE REQUIRED will be displayed.
WARNING
l If the SRS warning light stays on after the engine has started or if it \
illuminates while you are driving,
have the vehicle inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo service tech\
nician as soon as possible.
l Never try to repair any component or part of the SRS yourself. Any inter\
ference in the system could
cause malfunction and serious injury. All work on these systems should b\
e performed by a trained and
qualified Volvo service technician.

WARNING
l Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the\
front passenger's seat. We also
recommend that occupants under 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) in height who \
have outgrown these devices
sit in the rear seat with the seat belt fastened
1.
l Never drive with the airbags deployed. The fact that they hang out can i\
mpair the steering of your
vehicle. Other safety systems can also be damaged.
l The smoke and dust formed when the airbags are deployed can cause skin a\
nd eye irritation in the
event of prolonged exposure.

l There should be no loose articles, e.g. coffee cups, on the floor, seat,\
or dashboard area.
l Never try to open the airbag cover on the steering wheel or the passenge\
r's side dashboard. This
should only be done by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.\

l Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury to the vehicle\
occupants.
21 01 Safety
Occupant Weight Sensor
Disabling the passenger's side front airbag
file:///K|/delme/2007_C70/07c70_01.htm (15 of 41)12/22/2006 9:15:37 PM\

2007 Volvo C70
Volvo recommends that ALL occupants (adults and children) shorter than\
4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) be
seated in the rear seat of any vehicle with a passenger's side front air\
bag, and be properly restrained.
Children should always be seated in child restraints appropriate for the\
ir size and weight. See also the
child safety recommendations beginning on
page 30.
The Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS) is designed to meet the regulatory re\
quirements of Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 208 and is designed to disable (will \
not inflate) the passenger's side
front airbag under certain conditions.
The OWS works with sensors that are part of the front passenger's seat a\
nd seat belt. The sensors are
designed to detect the presence of a properly seated occupant and determ\
ine if the passenger's side front
airbag should be enabled (may inflate) or disabled (will not inflate)\
.
The OWS will disable (will not inflate) the passenger's side front air\
bag when:
l the front passenger's seat is unoccupied, or has small/medium objects in\
the front seat,
l the system determines that an infant is present in a rear-facing infant \
seat that is installed according to
the manufacturer's instructions,
l the system determines that a small child is present in a forward-facing \
child restraint that is installed
according to the manufacturer's instructions,
l the system determines that a small child is present in a booster seat,
l a front passenger takes his/her weight off of the seat for a period of t\
ime,
l a child or a small person occupies the front passenger's seat.
The OWS uses a PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp which will illuminate\
and stay on to
remind you that the passenger's side front airbag is disabled. The PASSE\
NGER AIRBAG OFF indicator
lamp is located in the overhead console, near the base of the rearview m\
irror.
NOTE
The PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp will illuminate for a short peri\
od of time when the
ignition is turned on to confirm it is functional. When the front passen\
ger's seat is not occupied (empty
seat) or in the event that the passenger's side front airbag is enabled\
(may inflate), the PASSENGER
AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp will be off.
However, if a fault is detected in the system:
l The OWS indicator light will stay on
l The SRS warning light (see page 17) will come on and stay on
The message PASS. AIRBAG OFF SERVICE URGENT will be displayed in the inf\
ormation display.

22 01 Safety
Occupant Weight Sensor
WARNING
l If a fault in the system is detected and indicated as explained on the p\
receding page, be aware that the
passenger's side front airbag will not deploy in the event of a collisio\
n. In this case, the SRS system and
Occupant Weight Sensor should be inspected by a trained and qualified Vo\
lvo service technician as
soon as possible.
l Never try to open, remove, or repair any components in the OWS system. T\
his could result in system
malfunction. Maintenance or repairs should only be carried out by an a t\
rained and qualified Volvo
service technician.
l The front passenger's seat should not be modified in any way. This could\
reduce pressure on the seat
cushion, which might interfere with the OWS system's function.
The OWS is designed to disable (will not inflate) the passenger's side\
front airbag when a rear facing
infant seat, a forward-facing child restraint, or a booster seat is dete\
cted. The PASSENGER AIRBAG
OFF indicator lamp will illuminate and stay on to remind you that the pa\
ssenger's side front airbag is
disabled (see the following table).
