ECO mode VOLVO XC70 2003 Owner's Manual

2003 VOLVO XC70
Volvo recommends 195/65 R15 snow tires on non-turbo models. Turbo models\
should be equipped
with 205/55 R16 snow tires on all four wheels (215/65 R16 tires should \
be used on the XC70).
Winter tires wear more quickly on dry roads in warm weather. They should\
be removed when the winter
driving season has ended.
Studded tires should be run-in 300-600 miles (500-1000 km) during which the car shou\
ld be driven as
smoothly as possible to give the studs the opportunity to seat properly \
in the tires. The tires should have
the same rotational direction throughout their entire lifetime. In other\
words, if you wish to rotate the
wheels, make sure that the same wheels are always on the same side of th\
e car.
NOTE: Please consult state or provincial regulations restricting the use of st\
udded winter tires before
installing such tires.
* Where permitted.

Tire pressure label
Checking and correcting tire pressure
l Check the tire pressure regularly.
l The tire pressure should be corrected only when the tires are cold.
l With warm tires, correct only when the pressure is too low. The tire tem\
perature rises after driving
just a few miles.

The tires on your Volvo will perform to specifications at all normal loa\
ds when inflated as
recommended on the tire information label located on the inside of the f\
uel filler door*. This label also
lists vehicle load limits. Do not load your car beyond the indicated lim\
its. WARNING!
Improperly inflated tires will reduce tire life, adversely affect vehicl\
e handling and can possibly lead
to failure resulting in loss of vehicle control without prior warning.
Temporary Spare
The spare tire in your car is called a "Temporary Spare". It has the fol\
lowing designation: T125/80 R17
(T135/90 R17 on the XC70).
At the recommended tire pressure shown on the inside of the fuel filler \
door, the tire may be used as a
temporary replacement for a front or rear tire.
In the event of damage to this tire, a new one can be purchased from you\
r Volvo retailer. WARNING!
Current legislation prohibits the use of the "Temporary Spare" tire othe\
r than as a temporary
replacement for a punctured tire. It must be replaced as soon as possibl\
e by a standard tire. Road
holding and handling may be affected with the "Temporary Spare" in use. \
Do not exceed 50 mph (80
km/h). Do not drive farther than 50 miles (80 km) on a temporary spar\
e tire.
CAUTION:
The car must not be driven with wheels of different dimensions or with a\
spare tire other than the one
that came with the car. The use of different size wheels can seriously d\
amage your car's transmission.
NOTE: Certain models may be equipped with a full-size spare tire. When used, i\
t should be inflated to
the same pressure as the tire it is replacing.
*Please note that the tire information label indicates pressure for both\
comfort and fuel economy.

2. Begin by erasing all 3 factory default channels. Hold down the two ou\
tside buttons (buttons 1 and 3 in
the illustration) on the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver for about 2\
0 seconds, until HomeLink®'s
indicator light begins to flash. Then release the buttons.
3. Hold your hand-held transmitter (garage door opener, for example) 2\
to 5 in. (5 to 12 cm) away from
the HomeLink® surface, keeping the indicator light in view. For place\
ment questions, contact
HomeLink® toll-free 1-800-355-3515 (Internet:
www.HomeLink.com).
4. Using two hands, push and hold both your hand-held transmitter's butt\
on and the transceiver button
you wish to program. The indicator light will flash first slowly, then r\
apidly. Rapid flashing tells you the
HomeLink® button has been successfully programmed. Release both butto\
ns.
5. If you are programming a rolling code-equipped device (e.g., garage \
door opener or entry door lock),
refer to "Programming rolling codes" on the next page to complete the pr\
ogramming process.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 to program the other two transceiver buttons.
If, after several attempts, you are unable to successfully train the Hom\
eLink® Universal Transceiver to
learn your hand-held transmitter's signal, contact HomeLink® toll-fre\
e 1-800-355-3515 (Internet:
www.
HomeLink.com).

near the gate or door while
it is in motion.
l Do not use the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver with any garage door o\
pener that lacks safety
"stop" and "reverse" features as required by federal safety standards. (\
This includes any garage door
opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982) A garage door opener th\
at cannot "detect" an
object, signalling the door to "stop" and "reverse" does not meet curren\
t federal safety standards.
Using a garage door opener without these features increases the risk of \
serious injury or death. For
more information on this matter, call toll-free 1-800-355-3515 (Interne\
t:
www.HomeLink.com).
