2003 Volvo V70 Owners Manual

1. The ignition switch must be turned to the "accessory" position (II) before programming the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver.

2. Begin by erasing all 3 factory default channels. Hold down the two outside buttons (buttons 1 and 3 in the illustration) on the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver for about 20 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 placement 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 button and the transceiver button you wish to program. The indicator light will flash first slowly, then rapidly. Rapid flashing tells you the HomeLink® button has

been successfully programmed. Release both buttons.

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 programming process.

Repeat steps 3 and 4 to program the other two transceiver buttons.

If, after several attempts, you are unable to successfully train the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver to learn your hand-held transmitter's signal, contact HomeLink® toll-free 1-800-355-3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.com).

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).

pg. 168 HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)

NOTE - Canadian residents: During programming, your hand-held transmitter may automatically stop transmitting. To successfully train HomeLink®, continue to hold the HomeLink® button. At the same time, repeatedly press and hold your hand-held transmitter's button at two-second intervals until HomeLink® has learned your transmitter's code. The HomeLink® indicator light will flash first slowly, and then rapidly to indicate that the button has been successfully programmed.

Determining if your garage door uses a rolling code Determine, in one of the following ways, if your garage door uses a rolling code system and is manufactured after 1996:

Refer to the garage door opener owner's manual for verification. If your hand-held transmitter appears to program the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver but the programmed button

does not activate the garage door, your garage door opener may have a rolling code.

Press the programmed HomeLink® button. If the garage door opener has the rolling code feature, the HomeLink®

indicator light flashes rapidly and then glows steadily after approximately 2 seconds.

To train a rolling code garage door opener, follow these instructions after programming the desired transceiver button according to "Programming the transceiver." The help of a second person may make training easier.

1. Locate the training button on the garage door opener motor head unit. The location and color of the training button may vary. If you encounter difficulty, refer to the garage door opener owner's manual or call toll-free 1-800-355-3515
(Internet: www.HomeLink.com).

2. Press the "training" button on the garage door opener motor head unit until the "training" light comes on.

3. Press and release the programmed HomeLink® button. Press and release the programmed HomeLink® button a second time to complete the training process. Some garage door openers may require you to do this procedure a third time to complete the training.

The programmed button on your HomeLink® Universal Transceiver should now operate your garage door opener. The

original hand-held transmitter can also be used, as desired, to operate the garage door.

The remaining two HomeLink® buttons can be programmed in the same way. In the event of any problems in programming the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver, call toll-free 1-800-355-3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.com).

Operating the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver Once programmed, the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver can be used in place of your hand-held transmitters.

To operate, the key must be turned to the "accessory" position (II) or the engine must be running. Press the programmed HomeLink® button to activate the garage door, driveway gate, security lighting, home security system, etc.

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

Erasing programmed buttons Individual buttons cannot be erased. To erase all three programmed buttons:

1. Turn the ignition key to the "accessory" position (II).

2. Hold down the two outside buttons on the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver for about 20 seconds, until HomeLink®'s indicator light begins to flash.

3. Release both buttons.

The HomeLink® buttons can be reprogrammed using the procedures described on the previous page.

(HomeLink® information continues on the next page)

pg. 169 HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)

Reprogramming a single HomeLink® button

1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink® button. Do not release the button until step 3 has been completed.

2. When the indicator light begins to flash slowly (after approximately 20 seconds), position your hand-held transmitter 2 to 5 in. (5 to 12 cm) away from the HomeLink® surface.

3. Press and hold the hand-held transmitter button. The HomeLink® indicator light will flash first slowly, then rapidly. When the indicator light flashes rapidly, release both buttons.

The previously programmed device has now been erased and the new device can be activated by pressing the HomeLink® button that has just been programmed. This procedure will not affect any other programmed HomeLink® buttons.

NOTE:

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

car.

Metallic sun protection films should not be used on any windows in a car equipped with HomeLink® Universal

Transceiver. This could interfere with the transceiver's function.

pg. 116 Fuses

Replacing fuses

If an electrical component fails to function, it is possible that a fuse has blown due to a temporary circuit overload.

Fuses are located in different places:

A - Relays/fuse box in the engine compartment B - Fuse box in the passenger compartment C - Relays/fuse box in the cargo area

A label on the inside of each cover indicates the amperage and the electrical components that are connected to each fuse.

The easiest way to see if a fuse is blown is to remove it. Pull the fuse straight out. If a fuse is difficult to remove, you will find a special fuse removal tool in the passenger compartment fuse box. From the side, examine the curved metal wire to see if it is broken. If so, put in a new fuse of the same color and amperage (written on the fuse). Spare fuses are stored in the fuse box in the passenger compartment. If fuses burn out repeatedly, have the electrical system inspected by an authorized Volvo retailer.

WARNING! Never use fuses with higher amperage that those stated on the following pages. Doing so could overload the car's electrical system.

pg. 117 Fuses in the engine compartment

NOTE: Other bulbs may be difficult for you to replace yourself. Let an authorized Volvo retailer replace these bulbs if necessary.

pg. 126 Paint touch up

Paint touch-up

Paint damage requires immediate attention to avoid rusting. Make it a habit to check the finish regularly - when washing the car for instance. Touch-up if necessary.

Paint repairs require special equipment and skill. Contact your Volvo retailer for any extensive damage.

Minor scratches can be repaired by using Volvo touch-up paint.

NOTE: When ordering touch-up paint from your Volvo retailer, use the paint code indicated on the model plate. The plate is located in the engine compartment.

Minor stone chips and scratches

Material: Primer - can Paint - touch-up bottle Brush

Masking tape

NOTE: When touching up the car, it should be clean and dry. The surface temperature should be above 60° F (15° C). Minor scratches on the surface

If the stone chip has not penetrated down to the metal and an undamaged layer of paint remains, the touch-up paint can be applied as soon as the spot has been cleaned.

Deep scratches

1. Place a strip of masking tape over the damaged surface. Pull the tape off so that any loose flakes of paint adhere to it.

2. Thoroughly mix the primer and apply it with a small brush. When the primer surface is dry, the paint can be applied using a brush. Mix the paint thoroughly; apply several thin paint coats and let dry after each application.

3. If there is a longer scratch, you may want to protect surrounding paint by masking it off.

pg. 127 Washing the car

Washing the car

The car should be washed at regular intervals since dirt, dust, insects and tar spots adhere to the paint and may cause

damage. It is particularly important to wash the car frequently in the wintertime to prevent corrosion, when salt has been used on the roads.

When washing the car, do not expose it to direct sunlight. Use lukewarm water to soften the dirt before you wash

with a sponge and plenty of water, to avoid scratching.

Bird droppings: Remove from paintwork as soon as possible. Otherwise the finish may be permanently damaged. A detergent can be used to facilitate the softening of dirt and oil. A water-soluble grease solvent may be used in cases of sticky dirt. However, use a wash place equipped with a

drainage separator.

Remove dirt from the drain holes in the doors and rocker panels. Dry the car with a clean chamois. Tar spots can be removed with kerosene or tar remover after the car has been washed. A stiff-bristle brush and lukewarm soapy water can be used to clean the wiper blades. Frequent cleaning improves

visibility considerably.

Wash off the dirt from the underside (wheel housings, fenders, etc.). In areas of high industrial fallout, more frequent washing is recommended.

CAUTION: During high pressure washing, the spray mouthpiece must never be closer to the vehicle than 13" (30 cm). Do not spray into the locks. Special sun roof cautions: - Always close the sun roof and sun shade before washing your vehicle. - Never use abrasive cleaning agents on the sun roof. - Never use wax on the rubber seals around the sun roof.

When washing or steam cleaning the engine, avoid spraying water or steam directly on the electrical components or

toward the rear side of the engine.

After cleaning the engine, the spark plug wells should be inspected for water and blown dry if necessary.

Suitable detergents: Special car washing detergents should be used. Mix according to manufacturer's instructions.

Bumpers: The bumpers are painted. Wash the bumpers with the same cleaning agent used on the rest of the car. Never clean the bumpers with gasoline or paint thinner. Difficult spots can be removed with denatured alcohol. To avoid scratches, do not dry the bumpers with paper.

WARNING!

When the car is driven immediately after being washed, apply the brakes several times in order to remove any

moisture from the brake linings.

Engine cleaning agents should not be used when the engine is warm. This constitutes a fire risk.

pg. 128 Washing the car, Cleaning the upholstery

Automatic washing - simple and quick

We do NOT recommend washing your car in an automatic wash during the first six months (because the

paint will not have hardened sufficiently).

An automatic wash is a simple and quick way to clean your car, but it is worth remembering that it may not be as

thorough as when you yourself go over the car with sponge and water. Keeping the underbody clean is most important, especially in the winter. Some automatic washers do not have facilities for washing the underbody.

Before driving into an automatic wash, make sure that side view mirrors, auxiliary lamps, etc, are secure, otherwise

there is risk of the machine dislodging them. Polishing and waxing

Normally, polishing is not required during the first year after delivery. However, waxing may be beneficial. Before applying polish or wax the car must be washed and dried. Tar spots can be removed with kerosene or tar

remover. Difficult spots may require a fine rubbing compound.

After polishing, use liquid or paste wax. Several commercially available products contain both polish and wax. Waxing alone does not substitute for polishing of a dull surface. A wide range of polymer-based car waxes can be purchased today. These waxes are easy to use and produce a long-

lasting, high-gloss finish that protects the bodywork against oxidation, road dirt and fading.

Do not polish or wax your car in direct sunlight (the surface of the car should not be warmer than 113° F (45° C).

Cleaning the upholstery

The fabric can be cleaned with soapy water or a detergent. For more difficult spots caused by oil, ice cream, shoe

polish, grease, etc., use a clothing/fabric stain remover.

The plastic in the upholstery can be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild soap solution. Leather upholstery/suede-like upholstery (alcanteraTM) can be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild soap solution.

For more difficult spots, Volvo offers a leather care kit.

Under no circumstances should gasoline, naphtha or similar cleaning agents be used on the plastic or the

leather since these can cause damage. Cleaning the seat belts

Clean only with lukewarm water and mild soap solution. Cleaning floor mats

The floor mats should be vacuumed or brushed clean regularly, especially during winter, when they should be taken out for drying. Spots on textile mats can be removed with a mild detergent. Stain removal

Take extra care when removing stains such as ink or lipstick since the coloring can spread. Use solvents sparingly. Too much solvent can damage the seat padding. Start from the outside of the stain and work toward the center.

pg. 129 Maintenance service, Warranty

Charge air cooler (Intercooler) Turbocharged engines employ a turbo-compressor to force air into the engine inlet manifold and a charge air cooler to cool the compressed inlet air. The resulting increase in air flow raises pressure in the intake manifold and increases engine power over that developed by A normally-aspirated engine. The charge air cooler (which resembles a radiator) is located between the turbo-compressor and inlet manifold.

Accessory Installation - Important Warning

We strongly recommend that Volvo owners install only genuine, Volvo-approved accessories, and that accessory

installations be performed only by the factory-trained technicians at your authorized Volvo retailer.

Genuine Volvo accessories are tested to ensure compatibility with the performance, safety, and emission systems in your car. Additionally, your authorized Volvo retailer knows where accessories may and may not be safely installed in your Volvo. In all cases, please consult your authorized Volvo retailer before installing any accessory in or on your car.

Accessories that have not been approved by Volvo may or may not be specifically tested for compatibility with your

car. Additionally, an inexperienced installer may not be familiar with some of your car's systems.

Any of your car's performance and safety systems could be adversely affected if you install accessories that Volvo

has not tested, or if you allow accessories to be installed by someone unfamiliar with your car.

Damage caused by unapproved or improperly installed accessories may not be covered by your new car warranty.

See your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet for more warranty information. Volvo assumes no responsibility for death, injury, or expenses that may result from the installation of non-genuine accessories.

Driver Distraction

Driver distraction results from driver activities that are not directly related to controlling the car in the driving environment. Your new Volvo is, or can be, equipped with many feature-rich entertainment and communication systems. These include hands-free cellular telephones, navigation systems, and multipurpose audio systems. You may also own other portable electronic devices for your own convenience. When used properly and safely, they enrich the driving experience. Improperly used, any of these could cause a distraction.

For all of these systems, we want to provide the following warning that reflects the strong Volvo concern for your

safety:

parked.

Never use these devices or any feature of your vehicle in a way that distracts you from the task of driving safely.

In addition to this general warning, we offer the following guidance regarding specific newer features that may be

Never use a hand-held cellular telephone while driving. Some jurisdictions prohibit cellular telephone use by a

Distraction can lead to a serious accident.

found in your vehicles:

driver while the vehicle is moving.

If your car is equipped with a navigation system, set and make changes to your travel itinerary only with the vehicle

Never program your audio system while the vehicle is moving. Program radio presets with the vehicle parked, and

use your programmed presets to make radio use quicker and simpler.

Never use portable computers or personal digital assistants while the vehicle is moving.

A driver has a responsibility to do everything possible to ensure his or her own safety and the safety of passengers in

the vehicle and others sharing the roadway. Avoiding distractions is part of that responsibility.

The following should be checked regularly: *

1 Washer fluid reservoir should be filled with water and solvent (wintertime: windshield washer anti-freeze). See page 133.

2 Power steering - When cold, the level must not be above the COLD mark and when hot it must not be above the HOT mark. Top up if the level drops to the ADD mark with ATF fluid. See page 137.

3 Coolant level should be between the expansion tank marks. Mixture: 50% anti-freeze and 50% water. See page 131.

4 Engine oil level should be between the dipstick marks. The distance between the marks represents approx. 1.6 US qts (1.5 liters). See page 135.

5 Brake fluid - check, without removing the cap, that the level is above the MIN mark. Use brake fluid DOT 4+. See page 137.

* Engine oil should be checked each time the car is refuelled.

Octane rating, see page 84.
