lock VOLVO XC70 2004 User Guide

2004 VOLVO XC70
The stability systems consist of a number of functions:
The following two functions are common to both STC/DSTC
1. Traction control (TC)
This function is designed to help reduce wheel spin by transferring powe\
r from a drive wheel that begins
to lose traction to the wheel on the opposite side of the car (on the s\
ame axle). TC monitors and
compares the rotational speed of the drive wheels. If one of the drive w\
heels shows a tendency to spin,
the difference in speed is immediately detected. This triggers the Anti-\
lock Brake System, which brakes
the spinning wheel until the difference in rotational speed is corrected\
.
TC is most active at low speeds, and a pulsating sound will be audible w\
hen the system is regulating
wheel spin. This is quite normal.
This is one of the STC/DSTC's permanent functions and is not affected wh\
en the button on the center
control panel is pressed.
2. Spin control (SC)
The spin control function is designed to help prevent the drive wheels f\
rom spinning while the car is
accelerating. This is done by temporarily reducing engine torque to the \
drive wheels, which helps
improve stability and tractive force.
Under certain circumstances, such as when driving with snow chains, or d\
riving in deep snow or loose
sand, it may be advisable to temporarily switch off this function for ma\
ximum tractive force. This is
done by pressing the STC/DSTC button on the center control panel for at \
least a half a second.
When the SC function has been switched off:
l The text window (see page 27) will briefly display "SPIN CONTROL OFF"
l The LED in the STC/DSTC button will be off.
The following two functions are only available with DSTC:
3. Active Yaw Control (AYC)
This function helps maintain directional stability, for example when cor\
nering, by braking one or more
of the wheels if the car shows a tendency to skid or slide laterally. Th\
is is done by activating the Anti-
lock Braking System. A pulsating sound will be audible when the function\
is active, which is quite
normal. If you apply the brakes while this function is active, the brake\
pedal will feel stiffer than usual.
This is also one of the DSTC system's permanent functions and is not aff\
ected when the DSTC button on
the center control panel is pressed.
R-models only:
The AYC function can be deactivated. This is done by pressing the DSTC b\
utton on the center control
panel (see the illustration on
page 31) for approximately one second. This procedure must be repeated 5
times, after which "DSTC REDUCED FUNCTION" will be displayed in the text\
window. AYC will be

pg. 29 Indicator and warning lights

Rear fog light
This light indicates that the rear fog light is on.

Malfunction indicator lamp
On-Board Diagnostic II (OBDII): As you drive, a computer called "OBDII" monitors your car's engine,
transmission, electrical and emission systems. The CHECK ENGINE light wi\
ll light up if the computer
senses a condition that potentially may need correcting. When this happe\
ns, please have your car checked by
a Volvo retailer as soon as possible.
A CHECK ENGINE light may have many causes. Sometimes, you may not notice\
a change in your car's
behavior. Even so, an uncorrected condition could hurt fuel economy, emi\
ssion cleanliness, and driveability.
Extended driving without correcting the cause could even damage other co\
mponents in your car.
Canadian models are equipped with this warning light:

NOTE: If the fuel filler cap is not closed tightly or if the engine is runni\
ng when the car is refueled, the
Malfunction Indicator Lamp may indicate a fault. However, your vehicle's\
performance will not be affected.
Use only Volvo original or approved fuel filler caps.

Anti-lock Brake System ABS
If the warning light comes on, there is a malfunction of the ABS system \
(the standard braking system will
still function). The vehicle should be driven to a Volvo retailer for i\
nspection. See
page 19 for additional
information.

adlights will switch on.
Parking lights on
Headlights, parking lights, license plate lights and instrument panel i\
llumination are on if the
ignition key is in position II.
If the headlight switch is in position
all lights will go out when the ignition is switched off.
The headlight switch must be in this position before the high beams will\
function (this also applies on
models equipped with the optional Bi-Xenon headlights).
Switch from high to low beams and vice versa by pulling the turn signal \
switch lever on the left side of
steering column toward you.
B - Instrument illumination
Move the thumbwheel up to increase brightness or down to decrease bright\
ness. There is also an
instrument panel illumination sensor (see illustration on
page 48) which automatically adjusts the level
of illumination.
C -Unlocking the fuel filler door
Press this button when the car is at a standstill to unlock the fuel fil\
ler door. Please note that the fuel
filler door will remain unlocked until the car begins to move forward. A\
n audible click will be heard
when the fuel filler door relocks.

The front fog lights will function only in combination with the low beam\
headlights.
An LED in the switch indicates when the front fog lights are on.
E - Rear fog light
The rear fog light is considerably brighter than the normal tail lights \
and should be used only when
conditions such as fog, rain, snow, smoke or dust reduce visibility for \
other vehicles to less than 500 ft
(150 meters).
An LED in the switch indicates when the rear fog light is on.
The rear fog light will only function in combination with the high/low b\
eam headlights.
By design, there is one rear fog light only, located in the driver's sid\

Both the height and the reach of the steering wheel can be adjusted to a\
comfortable position for the
driver. Pull down the lever on the left of the steering column. Adjust t\
he steering wheel to a suitable
position and press the lever back into place to lock the steering wheel \
in the new position. Check that the
steering wheel is locked in the new position. WARNING!
Never adjust the steering wheel while
driving.
Steering wheel lock
The steering wheel lock might be under tension when the car is parked.
Turn the steering wheel slightly to free the ignition key.
In order to help reduce car theft, make sure the steering wheel lock is \
engaged before leaving the
car. WARNING!
Never switch off the ignition (turn the ignition key to position 0) or\
remove the key from the ignition
switch while the car is in motion. This could cause the steering wheel t\
o lock, which would make the
car impossible to steer.

Remote central locking and sideview mirror memory
If you lock the car and later unlock it with the same remote control and open the driver's door, the
sideview mirrors will automatically move to the position they were in wh\
en you left the car. This feature
will work in the same way with all of the remote control transmitters (\
up to 3) that you use with your
car.
This feature will not function if you lock your car with the key. WARNING!
The mirrors should always be adjusted prior to driving. Objects seen in \
the wide-angle sideview
mirror are closer than they appear to be.

he blower speed. Pressing the
AUTO switch will automatically regulate blower speed and override manual\
adjustment.
NOTE: Turning the blower control counterclockwise as far as possible (an oran\

ng off.

pg. 51 Electronic Climate Control (ECC) with Interior Air Quality syst\
em (option)
Interior Air Quality system (option)
Some cars are equipped with a Multifilter and Air quality sensor. The fi\
lter separates gases and particles,
thereby reducing the amounts of odors and contaminants entering the car.\
The Air quality sensor detects
increased levels of contaminants in the outside air. When the Air qualit\
y sensor detects contaminated
outside air, the air intake closes and the air inside the passenger comp\
artment is recirculated, i.e. no
outside air enters the car. The filter also cleans recirculated passenge\
r compartment air. When the Air
quality sensor is activated, the LED AUT comes on in

Operation:
Press to activate the Air quality sensor (normal setting).
Or select one of three functions by pressing
