light VOLVO V70 2002 Owner's Guide

The tires have wear indicator strips running across or parallel to the tread. When approx. 1/16" (1.6 mm) is left on the
tread, these strips become visible and indicate that the tire should be replaced.
Tires with less than 1/16" (1.6 mm) tread have very poor grip in rain or snow.
To improve tire economy:
Maintain correct tire pressure. See the tire pressure label on the inside of the fuel filler door.
Drive smoothly: avoid fast starts, hard braking and tire screeching.
Tire wear increases with speed.
Correct front wheel alignment is very important.
Unbalanced wheels impair tire economy and driving comfort.
Volvo does not recommend rotating the tires. However, if tires are rotated, they must be kept on the same side of the
car so that they revolve in the same direction as before rotation.
Hitting curbs or potholes can damage the tires and/or wheels permanently.
Flat spots
All tires become warm during use. After cooling, when the vehicle is parked, the tires have a tendency to distort
slightly, forming flat spots. These flat spots can cause vibrations similar to the vibrations caused by unbalanced wheels.
They do, however, disappear when the tire warms up. The degree to which flat spots form depends on the type of cord
used in the tire. Remember that, in cold weather, it takes longer for the tire to warm up and consequently longer for the
flat spot to disappear.
CAUTION: Cars equipped with All Wheel Drive
The car must not be driven with wheels of different dimensions/ specifications or with a spare tire other than the one
that came with the car. The use of different size wheels can seriously damage your car's transmission.
Driving with the temporary spare tire at speeds above 50 mph (80 km/h) can reduce the service life of transmission
components. Do not drive farther than 50 miles (80 km) on a temporary spare tire.
When one or more tires is replaced, the new tire(s) should be mounted on the front wheels. The tires with the least
amount of tread should be mounted on the rear wheels.
pg. 105 Wheels and tires - All Wheel Drive vehicles
Types of Tires
Always drive on tires of identical brand, size, construction (radial), tread pattern, load-, speed-, traction-, temperature-,
and treadwear rating. Never drive on mixed tires, except for brief periods when the temporary spare tire is in use.
Always use properly inflated tires of correct dimensions. Tire size and inflation pressures are shown on the tire
pressure label located inside the fuel filler door.
CAUTION:
Failure to always drive on properly inflated, identical tires of correct dimensions may result in a circumference
difference between tires on the front and rear axles. This will cause excessive tire wear and may damage the
transmission and all-wheel-drive system.

Replacing high/low beam headlight bulbs
The headlight bulbs must be replaced from the engine compartment.
CAUTION:
Do not touch the glass on halogen bulbs with your fingers. Grease, oil or any other impurities can be carbonized onto
the bulb and cause damage to the reflector.

Switch off all lights and turn the ignition switch to position 0.
Open the hood.
Remove the plastic cover over the bulb (1) by turning it counterclockwise.
Remove the connector (2).
Loosen the retaining spring (3) by first moving it to the right and then moving it down, out of the way.
Pull out the defective bulb. Note the position of the guide lug on the base of the bulb (4).
To install a new low beam bulb (H7):
Insert the new bulb, without touching the glass, with the guide lug upward (1). The bulb will only seat properly in
this position.
Move the retaining spring up and push it slightly to the left until it seats properly (2).
Press the connector into place on the bulb (3).
Reinstall the plastic cover and turn it clockwise until it is correctly in place (4). "TOP" must be upward.
NOTE: If the vertical aim of your headlights needs to be adjusted for any reason (e.g., towing a trailer for extended
periods), this should be done by an authorized Volvo retailer.
