normal. This could increase the pressure exerted on the weight sensor by a child, and could result in the airbag being enabled, which might cause it to deploy in the event of a collision, thereby injuring the child.


WARNING


Keep the following points in mind with respect to the OWS system. Failure to follow these instructions could adversely affect the system's function and result in serious injury to the occupant of the front passenger's seat:


The full weight of the front seat passenger should always be on the seat cushion. The passenger should never lift him/herself off the seat cushion using the armrest in the door or the center console, by pressing the feet on the floor, by sitting on the edge of the seat cushion, or by pressing against the backrest in a way that reduces pressure on the seat cushion. This could cause OWS to disable the passenger's side front airbag.


Do not place any type of object on the front passenger's seat in such a way that jamming, pressing, or squeezing


occurs between the object and the front seat, other than as a direct result of the correct use of the ALR/ELR seat belt (see page 32).


No objects should be placed under the front passenger's seat. This could interfere with the OWS system's function.


24 01 Safety


Side impact protection airbags


Side impact airbags (SIPS) - front seats only


As an enhancement to the structural side impact protection built into your car, the car is also equipped with Side Impact Protection System (SIPS) airbags.


The SIPS airbag system is designed to help increase occupant protection in the event of certain side impact collisions. The SIPS airbags are designed to deploy only during certain side-impact collisions, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and point of impact.


NOTE


SIPS airbag deployment (one airbag) occurs only on the side of the vehicle affected by the impact. The airbags are not designed to deploy in all side impact situations.


Components in the SIPS airbag system This SIPS airbag system consists of gas generators and side airbag modules built into the outboard sides of both front seat backrests.


WARNING


The SIPS airbag system is a supplement to the structural Side Impact Protection System and the three-point seat belt system. It is not designed to deploy during collisions from the front or rear of the car or in rollover situations.


The use of seat covers on the front seats may impede SIPS airbag deployment. No objects, accessory equipment or stickers may be placed on, attached to or installed near the SIPS airbag system


or in the area affected by SIPS airbag deployment.


Never try to open or repair any components of the SIPS airbag system. This should be done only by a trained and


qualified Volvo service technician.


position with the seat belt properly fastened.


In order for the SIPS airbag to provide its best protection, both front seat occupants should sit in an upright


Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury to the occupants of the vehicle in the event of an accident.


25 01 Safety


Door mounted inflatable curtains


Door Mounted Inflatable Curtain system (DMIC)


The DMIC is a supplement to the structural side impact protection. These inflatable curtains are concealed in the upper section of the driver and passenger doors.


The Inflatable Curtain (DMIC) and the Side Impact Airbag System (SIPS-bag) will both deploy in certain side


impacts.


In certain situations in which there is a rollover risk, only the inflatable curtain (DMIC) may deploy.


NOTE


DMIC deployment can occur regardless of whether the power retractable hard top is up or down. If the inflatable curtain deploys, it remains inflated for approximately 5 seconds.


WARNING


The DMIC system is a supplement to the Side Impact Protection System. It is not designed to deploy during collisions from the front or rear of the vehicle. It only provides protection for the occupants of the front seats.


Never install or mount any equipment on the insides of the doors, door pillars, or side panels. This could impede

qualified Volvo service technician.


WARNING


In order for the DMIC to provide its best protection, both front seat occupants should sit in an upright position with the seat belt properly fastened; adults using the seat belt and children using the proper child restraint system. Only adults should sit in the front seats. Children must never be allowed in the front passenger seat. See page 32 for guidelines. Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury to the vehicle occupants in an accident.


26 01 Safety


Whiplash Protection System


Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS) - front seats only


The WHIPS system consists of specially designed hinges and brackets on the front seat backrests designed to help


absorb some of the energy generated in a collision from the rear (when the vehicle is "rear-ended").


In the event of a collision of this type, the hinges and brackets of the front seat backrests are designed to change position slightly to allow the backrest/head restraint to help support the occupant's head before moving slightly rearward. This movement helps absorb some of the forces that could result in whiplash.


WARNING


The WHIPS system is designed to supplement the other safety systems in your car. For this system to function


properly, the three-point seat belt must be worn. Please be aware that no system can prevent all possible injuries that may occur in an accident.


The WHIPS system is designed to function in certain collisions from the rear, depending on the crash severity,


angle and speed.


WARNING


Occupants in the front seats must never sit out of position. The occupant's back must be as upright as comfort allows and be against the seat back with the seat belt properly fastened.


27 01 Safety


Whiplash Protection System


WARNING


If your car has been involved in a rear-end collision, the front seat backrests must be inspected by a trained and


qualified Volvo service technician, even if the seats appear to be undamaged. Certain components in the WHIPS system may need to be replaced.


Do not attempt to service any component in the WHIPS system yourself.


WARNING


Boxes, suitcases, etc. wedged behind the front seats could impede the function of the WHIPS system. If the rear seat backrests are folded down, cargo must be secured to prevent it from sliding forward against the


front seat backrests in the event of a collision from the rear. This could interfere with the action of the WHIPS system.


28 01 Safety


Roll-over Protection system


Roll-over Protection system (ROPS)


The ROPS system consists of two roll bars located behind the rear seat head restraints, and a sensor that monitors the roll or pitch angle of the vehicle.


If the vehicle rolls or pitches beyond a preset angle, or in the event of a rear-end collision of sufficient force, the roll bars are automatically deployed (raised).


The ROPS system is designed to function regardless of whether the power retractable hard top is up or down. By design, the tops of the roll bars are equipped with a point in order to pierce the rear window if the top is up.


NOTE


If ROPS has deployed, the system should be inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.


WARNING


The rear seat of the Volvo C70 is intended for two occupants, and only two rear seat belts are provided. The center


section of the seat should never be used to seat a passenger.


No objects should be placed over the roll bars or behind the rear seat head restraints. All repairs or maintenance to the ROPS system should only be performed by a trained Volvo service technician.


29 01 Safety


Crash mode


Driving after a collision


If the vehicle has been involved in a collision, the text CRASH MODE SEE MANUAL may appear in the information display. This indicates that the vehicle's functionality has been reduced.


This text can only be shown if the display is undamaged and the vehicle's electrical system is intact.


CRASH MODE is a feature that is triggered if one or more of the safety systems (for example, front or side airbags, an inflatable curtain, or one or more of the seat belt tensioners) has deployed. The collision may have damaged an important function in the vehicle, such as the fuel lines, sensors for one of the safety systems, the brake system, etc.


WARNING


Never attempt to repair the vehicle yourself or to reset the electrical system after the vehicle has displayed


CRASH MODE SEE MANUAL. This could result in injury or improper system function.


Restoring the vehicle to normal operating mode should only be done by a trained and qualified Volvo service


technician.


After CRASH MODE SEE MANUAL has been displayed, if you detect the odor of fuel vapor, or see any signs of


fuel leakage, do not attempt to start the vehicle. Leave the vehicle immediately.


Attempting to start the vehicle If damage to the vehicle is minor and there is no fuel leakage, you may attempt to start the vehicle. To do so:


1. Remove the ignition key. 2. Reinsert the key in the ignition switch. The vehicle will then attempt to reset CRASH MODE to normal mode. 3. Try to start the vehicle.


Moving the vehicle If the electrical system is able to reset system status to normal (CRASH MODE SEE MANUAL will no longer be displayed), the vehicle may be moved carefully from its present position, if for example, it is blocking traffic. It should, however, not be moved farther than is absolutely necessary.


WARNING


Even if the vehicle appears to be drivable after CRASH MODE has been set, it should not be driven or towed (pulled by another vehicle). There may be concealed damage that could make it difficult or impossible to control. The vehicle should be transported on a flatbed tow truck to a trained and qualified Volvo service technician for inspection/ repairs.


30 01 Safety


Child safety


Children should be seated safely


Volvo recommends the proper use of restraint systems for all occupants including children. Remember that, regardless of age and size, a child should always be properly restrained in a car.


Your car is also equipped with ISOFIX/ LATCH attachments, which make it more convenient to install child seats.


Some restraint systems for children are designed to be secured in the vehicle by lap belts or the lap portion of a lap- shoulder belt. Such child restraint systems can help protect children in cars in the event of an accident only if they are used properly. However, children could be endangered in a crash if the child restraints are not properly secured in the vehicle. Failure to follow the installation instructions for your child restraint can result in your child striking the vehicle's interior in a sudden stop.


Holding a child in your arms is NOT a suitable substitute for a child restraint system. In an accident, a child held in a person's arms can be crushed between the vehicle's interior and an unrestrained person. The child could also be injured by striking the interior, or by being ejected from the vehicle during a sudden maneuver or impact. The same can also happen if the infant or child rides unrestrained on the seat. Other occupants should also be properly restrained to help reduce the chance of injuring or increasing the injury of a child.


All states and provinces have legislation governing how and where children should be carried in a car. Find out the regulations existing in your state or province. Recent accident statistics have shown that children are safer in rear seating positions than front seating positions when properly restrained. A child restraint system can help protect a child in a vehicle. Here's what to look for when selecting a child restraint system:


It should have a label certifying that it meets applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS 213) - or


in Canada, CMVSS 213.


Make sure the child restraint system is approved for the child's height, weight and development - the label required


by the standard or regulation, or instructions for infant restraints, typically provide this information.


In using any child restraint system, we urge you to carefully look over the instructions that are provided with the restraint. Be sure you understand them and can use the device properly and safely in this vehicle. A misused child restraint system can result in increased injuries for both the infant or child and other occupants in the vehicle.


When a child has outgrown the child safety seat, you should use the rear seat with the standard seat belt fastened. The best way to help protect the child here is to place the child on a cushion so that the seat belt is properly located on the hips (see the illustration on page 39). Legislation in your state or province may mandate the use of a child seat or cushion in combination with the seat belt, depending on the child's age and/or size. Please check local regulations.


A specially designed and tested booster cushion (not available in Canada) can be obtained from your Volvo retailer for children weighing 33 - 80 lb. (15 - 36 kg) and 38-54 inches (97 - 137 cm) in height.


31 01 Safety


Child safety


WARNING


Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the front passenger's seat. We also recommend


that children under 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) in height who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with the seat belt fastened.


Keep vehicle doors and trunk locked and keep keys out of a child's reach. Unsupervised children could lock


themselves in an open trunk and risk injury. Children should be taught not to play in vehicles.


On hot days, the temperature in the trunk or vehicle interior can rise very quickly. Exposure to these high


temperatures for even a short period of time can cause heat-related injury or death. Small children are particularly at


risk.


32 01 Safety


Child safety


Automatic Locking Retractor/Emergency Locking Retractor


To make child seat installation easier, each seat belt (except for the driver's belt) is equipped with a locking mechanism to help keep the seat belt taut.


When attaching the seat belt to a child seat:


Attach the seat belt to the child seat according to the child seat manufacturer's instructions. Pull the seat belt out as far as possible. Insert the seat belt latch plate into the buckle (lock) in the usual way. Release the seat belt and pull it taut around the child seat.


A sound from the seat belt retractor will be audible at this time and is normal. The belt will now be locked in place. This function is automatically disabled when the seat belt is unlocked and the belt is fully retracted.


WARNING


Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the front passenger's seat. We also recommend that children who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with the seat belt properly fastened.


Volvo's recommendations Why does Volvo believe that no child should sit in the front seat of a car? It's quite simple really. A front airbag is a very powerful device designed, by law, to help protect an adult.


Because of the size of the airbag and its speed of inflation, a child should never be placed in the front seat, even if he or she is properly belted or strapped into a child safety seat. Volvo has been an innovator in safety for over seventy- five years, and we'll continue to do our part. But we need your help. Please remember to put your children in the back seat, and buckle them up.


Volvo has some very specific recommendations:


Always wear your seat belt. Airbags are a SUPPLEMENTAL safety device which, when used with a three-point seat belt can help reduce


serious injuries during certain types of accidents. Volvo recommends that you do not disconnect the airbag system in your vehicle.


Volvo strongly recommends that everyone in the vehicle be properly restrained. Volvo recommends that ALL occupants (adults and children) shorter than 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) be seated in the


back seat of any vehicle with a front passenger side airbag.


Drive safely!


33 01 Safety


Child restraint systems


Child restraints


There are three main types of child restraint systems: infant seats, convertible seats, and booster cushions. They are classified according to the child's age and size.


The following section provides general information on securing a child restraint using a three-point seat belt. Refer to page 40 for information on securing a child restraint using ISOFIX lower anchors.


WARNING


A child seat should never be used in the front passenger seat of any vehicle with a front passenger airbag - not even if the "Passenger airbag off" symbol near the rear-view mirror is illuminated (on vehicles equipped with Occupant Weight Sensor). If the severity of an accident were to cause the airbag to inflate, this could lead to serious injury or death to a child seated in this position.


WARNING


Always refer to the child restraint manufacturer's instructions for detailed information on securing the restraint.


34 01 Safety


Child restraint systems


WARNING


When not in use, keep the child restraint system secured or remove it from the passenger compartment to help


prevent it from injuring passengers in the event of a sudden stop or collision.


A small child's head represents a considerable part of its total weight and its neck is still very weak. Volvo


recommends that children up to age 4 travel, properly restrained, facing rearward. In addition, Volvo recommends that children should ride rearward facing, properly restrained, as long as possible.

HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)


02 Introduction


HomeLink1 is a system that can be programmed to learn the codes of three different remote controlled-devices (for example, a garage door opener, remote lighting, entry gate). HomeLink's sun visor-mounted transceiver, powered by your car's electrical system, may then be used in place of your handheld remote controls. The HomeLink transceiver consists of three programmable buttons and an indicator light.

NOTE


For your security, the HomeLink Universal Transceiver is designed to not function if you lock your car from the


outside.


Retain the original transmitter(s) for future programming procedures (for example, if you purchase a new vehicle). For your own security, erase all programmed buttons on the HomeLink Universal Transceiver when you sell your

vehicle.


Operating the HomeLink Universal Transceiver Once programmed, the HomeLink Universal Transceiver can be used in place of your handheld transmitters.


NOTE


The HomeLink universal transceiver will function for 30 minutes after the driver's door has been opened without switching on the vehicle's ignition.


Press the programmed HomeLink button to activate the garage door, driveway gate, security lightning, home security system etc.


Your original hand-held transmitters may, of course, be used at any time.


WARNING


If you use HomeLink to open a garage door or gate, be sure no one is near the gate or door while it is in motion. Do not use the HomeLink Universal Transceiver with any garage door opener 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 that cannot "detect" an object, signalling the door to "stop" and "reverse" does not meet current 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. (Internet: www.HomeLink.com).


Programming the transceiver for the first time (U.S. residents) 1. For first time training, press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons, releasing only when the HomeLink indicator light begins to flash after 20 seconds. (Do not perform this step when training the additional HomeLink buttons.)

General information


Air conditioning - A/C


Your car is equipped with an Electronic Climate Control (ECC).


The air conditioning system can be switched off, but for optimal air quality in the passenger compartment and to prevent the windows from fogging, the air conditioning should be left on - even in cool weather.


NOTE


In warm weather, a small amount of water may accumulate under the car when it has been parked. This water is condensation from the A/C system and is normal.


Ice and snow


Always keep the air intake grille at the base of the windshield free of snow.


Climate control maintenance


Special tools and equipment are required to maintain and carry out repairs on the climate system. Work of this type should only be done by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.


Refrigerant


Volvo cares about the environment. The air conditioning system in your car contains a CFC-free refrigerant - R134a. This substance will not deplete the ozone layer. The system contains 1.2 lbs (530 g) R134a (HFC 134a), and uses PAG oil.


Passenger compartment filter


Replace the cabin air filter with a new one at the recommended intervals. Please refer to your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet, or consult your Volvo retailer for these intervals. The filter should be replaced more often when driving under dirty and dusty conditions. The filter cannot be cleaned and therefore should always be replaced with a new one.


NOTE


There are different types of cabin air filters. Ensure that the correct type is installed.


Display


The display above the climate control panel shows the climate settings that have been made.


Personal settings


There are two functions in the climate system that can be set to your preferences:


Blower speed to Auto mode (models with ECC only). Timer controlled recirculation of the air in the passenger compartment.


For information about how to make these settings, see the Personal settings section on page 72.

NOTE


The sunlight sensor on the upper side of the dashboard and the passenger compartment temperature sensor, located


behind the climate system control panel, should not be obstructed.


The air conditioning system is temporarily switched off during full throttle acceleration.


ECC functions


1. Auto - On/Off


The AUTO function automatically regulates climate control to maintain the desired temperature. The


automatic function controls heating, air conditioning, blower speed, recirculation, and air distribution.


If you select one or more manual functions, the remaining functions continue to be controlled automatically. All manual settings are


83 03 Climate


Electronic Climate Control (ECC)


switched off when AUTO is switched on. AUTO CLIMATE is shown in the display.


2. Blower speed


The blower speed can be increased or decreased by turning the knob. The blower speed is regulated


automatically if AUTO is selected. The previously set blower speed is disconnected.


NOTE


If the knob is turned counterclockwise and the blower indication in the display goes out, the blower and the air conditioning are switched off. The display shows the blower symbol and OFF.


3. Recirculation


This function can be used to shut out exhaust fumes, smoke, etc from the passenger compartment. The


air in the passenger compartment is then recirculated, i.e. no air from outside the car is taken into the car when this function is activated. If the air in the car recirculates for too long, there is a risk of condensation forming on the insides of the windows, especially in winter.


Timer The timer function minimizes the risk of fogging, or stale air when the recirculation function is selected. See page 73
for information on setting the recirculation timer.


NOTE


Recirculation is always disengaged if the defroster button is engaged to clear ice or condensation from the side windows.


4. Defroster


Directs airflow to the windshield and side windows and increases blower speed.


When the defroster is activated:


Air flows to the windows at high blower speed. The LED in the defroster button lights up when this function is activated. The air conditioning system is controlled


to provide maximum air dehumidification.


The air conditioning is automatically switched on (can be switched off by pressing button 5).


The air is not recirculated.


5. Airflow controls


Press one of the three buttons in the illustration to activate the selected airflow. A symbol in the display


above the climate control panel and a lit LED in the selected button indicate that the manual function has been selected. With manually selected airflow both warm and cool air can be selected. See also the table on page 85.


6. Air conditioning On/Off


ON: The air conditioning system is engaged when the ON light is lit and is controlled automatically by


the system to maintain the selected temperature.


OFF: The system is disengaged when the OFF lights up


When OFF is selected and the OFF LED is lit, the air conditioning system is deactivated.


84 03 Climate


Electronic Climate Control (ECC)


Other functions are still controlled automatically.


When Defroster (4) is selected, the air conditioning system is activated for maximum dehumidifying.


7 and 8. Heated front seats (option)


Maximum heating: Press the button once - both LEDs light up.


Reduced heating: Press the button a second time - one LED lights up.


Seat heating off: Press the button a third time - no LEDs are lit.


9. Rear window and door mirror defrosters


Press to defrost the rear window and door mirrors.


The rear window and door mirrors are defrosted simultaneously if the switch is pressed once. The function is active if one LED is lit in the switch. The door mirrors are deactivated automatically after approximately 6 minutes. The rear windscreen is deactivated after approximately 12 minutes.


NOTE


This function is automatically switched off when the power retractable hard top is down.


10. Temperature selector


The temperatures on the driver's and passenger's sides can be set separately using the knob (with the


thermometer in it). The temperature can be set for both sides of the car when the ignition is switched on (both LEDs will be on), which means that a temperature setting will apply to both sides of the car.


To set the temperature on one side of the car:


Press the knob once. The LED for one side of the car will light up. Turn the knob to adjust the temperature. Press the knob a second time to set the temperature on the opposite side of the car. Press the knob a third time to set the temperature on both sides of the car at the same time.


NOTE


Selecting a temperature that is higher or lower than necessary will not heat or cool the passenger compartment faster.
