VOLVO OWNERS MANUAL V70, V70 R & XC70 WEB EDITION 2006
Dear Volvo owner We hope you will enjoy many years of driving pleasure in your Volvo. The car has been designed for the safety and comfort of you and your passengers. Volvo is one of the safest cars in the world. Your Volvo has also been designed to satisfy all current safety and environmental requirements. In order to increase your enjoyment of the car, we recommend that you familiarise yourself with the equipment, instructions and maintenance information contained in this owner’s manual.
Introduction Owner’s Manual A good way of getting to know your new car is to read the owner’s manual, ideally before your first journey. This will give you the opportunity to familiarise yourself with new functions, to see how best to handle the car in different situations, and to make the best use of all the car’s features.
Volvo Car Corporation and the environment Volvo Car Corporation’s environmental philosophy Environmental care, safety and quality are the three core values which influence all operations of the Volvo Car Corporation. We also believe that our customers share our consideration for the environment. Your Volvo complies with strict international environmental standards and is also manufactured in one of the cleanest and most resource-efficient plants in the world.
Volvo Car Corporation and the environment Clean air in the passenger compartment A sophisticated air cleaning system, IAQS1 (Interior Air Quality System) ensures that the air in the passenger compartment is cleaner than the air outside. The system consists of an electronic sensor and a carbon filter. The air intake is closed if the level of reducing gases and oxidising gases, e.g. carbon monoxide, becomes too high, for example in heavy town traffic, queues and tunnels.
Volvo Car Corporation and the environment • Drive in the highest gear possible. Low engine speeds result in lower fuel consumption. • Ease back on the accelerator on downhill gradients. • Use engine braking. Take your foot off the accelerator and change down. • Avoid idling. Switch off the engine in traffic queues. • Always dispose of environmentally hazardous waste, such as batteries and oils, in an environmentally safe manner. If uncertain, consult an authorised Volvo workshop for advice.

Safety Seatbelts Tensioning the hip strap. The belt must be positioned low down. Always use a seatbelt Heavy braking can have serious consequences if the seatbelts are not used. Ensure that all passengers use their seatbelts. Otherwise, rear seat passengers may be thrown forward against the backs of the front seats in the event of a collision. Putting on a seatbelt: – Pull the belt out slowly and secure it by pressing the buckle into the lock. A loud "click" indicates that the belt has locked.
Safety Seatbelts NOTE! The seatbelt reminder is intended for an adult sitting in the front seat. If a belt-fitted child seat is fitted in the front seat, the seatbelt reminder does not switch on. Seatbelts and pregnancy Seatbelt reminder The seatbelt warning symbol in the combined instrument panel and above the rearview mirror comes on until the driver and front seat passenger buckle their seatbelts. The seatbelt reminder switches off after 6 seconds if speed is below 10 km/h.
Safety Seatbelts Label on seatbelts with seatbelt tensioner. Seatbelt tensioner All the seatbelts are equipped with belt tensioners. A mechanism in the belt tensioner tightens the belt around the body in the event of a sufficiently violent collision. This provides more effective restraint for passengers.
Safety Airbag system As well as the warning symbol, a message appears on the information display. If the warning symbol malfunctions, the warning triangle comes on and the message SRS AIRBAG SERVICE URGENT appears on the display. Contact an authorised Volvo workshop immediately. WARNING! Warning symbol on the combined instrument panel The Airbag system1 is monitored continuously by the control module and there is a warning lamp in the combined instrument panel.
Safety Airbags (SRS) WARNING! Never place a child in a child seat or on a booster cushion in the front seat if the airbag (SRS) is activated1. Never allow a child to stand or sit in front of the front passenger seat. No one shorter than 140 cm should sit in the front passenger seat if the airbag (SRS) is activated. Failure to follow the advice given above can endanger the life of the child. 1. For information on activated/deactivated airbag (SRS) see page17.
Safety Airbags (SRS) WARNING! Repairs must only be performed by an authorised Volvo workshop. Work on the SRS system can cause malfunction and result in serious personal injury. SRS system, left-hand drive. SRS system, right-hand drive. SRS system NOTE! The sensors react differently depending on the course of the collision and whether the seatbelts on the driver and passenger side are used. It is therefore possible that only one (or none) of the airbags may inflate in a collision.
Safety Airbags (SRS) Location of the passenger airbag in left-hand drive and right-hand drive cars. WARNING! Never interfere with SRS components in the steering wheel or the panel above the glovebox. Objects and accessories must not be positioned or glued on or near the SRS AIRBAG panel (above the glovebox) or in the area affected by a deployed airbag.
Safety Activating/deactivating the airbag (SRS) WARNING! Activated airbag (passenger seat): Never place a child in a child seat or on a booster cushion in the front passenger seat when the airbag is activated. This also applies to anyone shorter than 140 cm. Indicator showing that the passenger airbag (SRS) is deactivated. Switch for PACOS (Passenger Airbag Cut Off Switch).
Safety Activating/deactivating the airbag (SRS) WARNING! Do not allow anyone to sit in the front passenger seat if the text message in the roof panel indicates that the airbag (SRS) is deactivated and the airbag warning symbol is displayed in the combined instrument panel. This indicates that there has been a severe malfunction. Contact an authorised Volvo workshop as soon as possible. Switch for SRS in ON position. Switch for SRS in OFF position. Switch position OFF = Airbag (SRS) is deactivated.
Safety Side airbags (SIPS bags) WARNING! Do not put objects in the area between the outside of the seat and the door panel, since this area is required by the side airbag. WARNING! Use only Volvo genuine car seat covers, or seat covers approved by Volvo. Other seat covers may impede the operation of the side air bags. Side airbag locations. Inflated side airbag.
Safety Side airbags (SIPS bags) Left-hand drive. SIPS bags The side airbag is equipped with a gas generator. A sufficiently violent collision trips the sensors and ignites the gas generator, inflating the side airbag. The airbag inflates between the occupant and the door panel and thereby cushions the initial impact while deflating. The side airbag is only normally deployed on the side of the collision. 20 Right-hand drive.
Safety Inflatable Curtain (IC) Properties The inflatable curtain, IC (Inflatable Curtain), is a supplement to the SIPS system. It is concealed in the headlining along both sides of the roof and protects both front and rear seat passengers. The inflatable curtain is activated by sensors in a sufficiently violent collision. When deployed, the inflatable curtain inflates. The inflatable curtain helps to prevent the driver and passengers from striking their heads on the inside of the car during a collision.
Safety WHIPS Protection against whiplash injury – WHIPS The whiplash protection system (WHIPS) consists of energy absorbing backrests and specially designed head restraints for the front seats. The system is actuated by a rearend collision, where the angle and speed of the collision, and the nature of the colliding vehicle all have an influence. WARNING! The WHIPS system is a supplement to the seatbelts. Always wear your seatbelt.
Safety WHIPS WARNING! If a seat has been subjected to extreme forces, such as due to a rear collision, the WHIPS system must be checked by an authorised Volvo workshop. Part of the WHIPS system’s protective capacity may have been lost even if the seats appear to be undamaged. Contact an authorised Volvo workshop to have the system checked even after a minor rearend collision. Do not obstruct the WHIPS system WARNING! Do not squeeze rigid objects between the rear seat cushion and the front seat backrest.
Safety When are the safety systems activated? System Triggered Seatbelt tensioner Airbags (SRS) In a frontal collision and/or side-impact accident. Side airbags (SIPS) In a side-impact accident1. Inflatable Curtain IC In a side-impact accident1. In a rear-end collision. Whiplash protection WHIPS In a frontal collision1. 1.

Starting and driving General Economical driving Economical driving results from driving gently with anticipation and adapting your driving style and speed to the situation. Keep in mind the following: • Drive the engine to operating temperature as soon as possible! That is to say: do not let the engine idle, but drive with a light load as soon as you can. • A cold engine consumes more fuel than a warm one. • Avoid driving short distances where the engine never has time to reach operating temperature.
Starting and driving General Do not allow the engine and cooling system to overheat Under certain conditions, e.g. when driving in hilly terrain and with a heavy load, especially in warm weather, there is a risk of the engine and cooling system overheating. To avoid overheating in the cooling system: • Drive at low speeds if driving with a trailer up a long incline. • Switch off the air conditioning temporarily. • Avoid letting the engine idle.
Starting and driving Refuelling After refuelling, replace the fuel cap and turn until one or more clicks is heard. WARNING! Never carry an activated mobile phone when refuelling – the ring signal could cause spark build-up and ignite petrol fumes, leading to fire and injury. Refuelling with petrol The fuel cap is inside the fuel filler flap on the right-hand rear wing and hangs up on the inside of the fuel filler flap.
Starting and driving Starting the car Starting the engine (petrol) – Apply the parking brake (handbrake). Automatic gearbox Gear selector in position P or N. Manual gearbox – Gear lever in neutral and clutch pedal fully depressed. This is particularly important in very cold conditions. NOTE! The master key blade must be fully extended (as illustrated on page 100) when starting the car. Otherwise there is a risk that the immobiliser function will prevent the car from starting.
Starting and driving Starting the car IMPORTANT! If the filter fills up with particles then it can be difficult to start the engine and the filter will be incapable of functioning and must then be replaced. Ignition keys and electronic immobiliser The ignition key must not hang with other keys or metal objects on the same key ring. The electronic immobiliser could be activated accidentally. If this happens – remove the excess keys and restart the car.
Starting and driving Manual gearbox Gear positions, five-speed Reverse gear inhibitor Gear positions, six-speed Depress the clutch pedal fully with each gear change. Remove your foot from the clutch pedal between gear changes! Follow the appropriate shifting pattern. Engage reverse gear when the car is completely stationary. Depress the clutch pedal fully with each gear change. Remove your foot from the clutch pedal between gear changes! Follow the appropriate shifting pattern.
Starting and driving Automatic gearbox Cold start When starting in low temperatures, the gear changes can sometimes feel hard. This is due to the gearbox oil’s viscosity at low temperatures. To minimise engine emissions, the gearbox shifts up later than normal when the engine is started at low temperatures. Turbo engine When the engine is cold, the transmission shifts gears at higher revs. This allows the catalytic converter to reach normal operating temperature more quickly, with less exhaust emissions.
Starting and driving Automatic gearbox Geartronic1 The V70 R with Geartronic has an S button instead of a W button located at the gear selector. The gearbox sports programme is activated using the S button. An LED is lit in the button to indicate active mode. Manual positions, Geartronic To move from the automatic driving position D to a manual position, move the gear selector to the left. To go from position MAN to the automatic driving position D, move the selector to the right to position D.
Starting and driving Automatic gearbox D – Drive W – Winter D is the normal driving position. The car automatically shifts between the different gears of the gearbox based on the level of acceleration and speed. The car should be stationary when selecting D from position R. The W button by the gear selector engages and disengages the winter programme W. The symbol W is shown in the combined instrument panel when the winter programme is activated.
Starting and driving Brake system Brake servo If the car is rolling or is being towed with the engine turned off, the brake pedal must be pressed about five times harder than when the engine is running. If the brake pedal is pressed when the engine is started, you will feel the pedal drop. This is normal and due to the brake servo becoming active. This may be more noticeable if the car has emergency brake assistance (EBA).
Starting and driving Brake system After the engine has started and reached a speed of about 20 km/h, a short self-test can be both heard and felt. When the ABS system functions, you can hear and feel pulses in the brake pedal. This is completely normal. NOTE! You must depress the brake pedal fully to take maximum advantage of the ABS system. Do not release the pedal when you hear and feel the ABS pulses. Practice braking with the ABS system at a suitable spot such as a track to practice skidding.
Starting and driving Stability system When the stability system1 is in action, it may seem like the car does not respond normally to acceleration. This is because the system detects the amount of friction on the road surface and allows the different stability system functions to operate. The car is either equipped with STC (Stability and Traction Control) – Stability and traction control system or DSTC (Dynamic Stability and Traction Control) – Dynamic stability and traction control system.
Starting and driving FOUR-C (Active chassis) Chassis characteristics can be modified at any time while driving, when the nature of the road changes or when you desire a change in driving style. This change occurs in a matter of milliseconds. Four-C switch in the centre console (does not apply to the V70 R) Active chassis – FOUR-C1 The car is equipped with an extremely advanced active chassis system – Continuously Controlled Chassis Concept – that is regulated electronically.
Starting and driving Parking assistance (option) If the volume of another sound source from the audio system is high, this is automatically lowered. The system must be deactivated when driving with a trailer, bike carrier on the towbar or the like as they would trigger the sensors. The system is always activated when the car is started. Rear parking assistance is deactivated automatically when towing a trailer if a Volvo genuine trailer cable is used.
Starting and driving Parking assistance (option) Rear parking assistance Rear parking assistance is activated when reverse gear is engaged. The signal comes from the rear speakers. Fault indicator The information symbol comes on and stays lit PARK ASSIST SERVICE REQUIRED is shown in the information display in the centre of the combined instrument panel together with the symbol. Deactivating and reactivating the parking assistance Parking assistance can be deactivated with the button in the switch panel.
Starting and driving Towing and recovery Do not bump start the engine If you bump start a car with manual gearbox, the catalytic converter may be damaged. Cars with automatic gearbox cannot be bump started. Use a booster battery if the battery is flat. If the car must be towed – Unlock the steering wheel lock so that the car can be steered. Keep in mind the highest legally permissible speed. Bear in mind that the brake and power steering servos do not function when the engine is off. Approx.
Starting and driving Towing and recovery To screw in the rear towing eye, you must first remove a plastic bolt from the bracket for the rear towing eye. Use the wheel nut wrench from the tool kit to unscrew the plastic bolt. Refit the plastic bolt after use. Recovery The towing eye may only be used for towing on roads, not for recovery after driving into a ditch or the like. Professional help should be called for recovery.
Starting and driving Start assistance Starting with a booster battery If for some reason the battery in your car is discharged, you can "borrow" current from a spare battery or another car’s battery to start the engine. Always check that the clamps are fastened properly to prevent sparking during the start attempt. To avoid the risk of explosion, we recommend you do exactly as follows. – Turn the ignition key to position 0. – Ensure that the other battery is 12 volt.
Starting and driving Driving with a trailer • If the car is driven with a heavy load in a hot climate, the engine and gearbox may overheat. The temperature gauge in the combined instrument panel goes into the red zone when the car overheats. Stop and let the engine idle for a few minutes. • If the car overheats, the air conditioning system can be temporarily switched off. • The gearbox reacts with a built-in protection function if the car overheats.
Starting and driving Driving with a trailer Levelling If your car is equipped with automatic levelling, the rear suspension always retains the correct ride height regardless of load. When the car is stationary, the rear suspension sinks. This is completely normal. When starting with a load, the level is pumped up after a certain distance.
Starting and driving Towing equipment Towbars The towball must be cleaned and greased regularly. If a towball hitch with vibration damper is used, it is not necessary to grease the towball. If the car is equipped with a detachable towbar, the towball mounting instructions must be followed carefully, see page 134. NOTE! Always take off the towball section after use. Keep it in the cargo area. WARNING! Be sure to attach the trailer’s safety cable to the correct place.
