Occupant safety Not wearing a seat belt is like believing "It'll never happen to me!". Volvo, the inventor of the three- point seat belt, urges you and all adult occupants of your car to wear seat belts and ensure that children are properly restrained, using an infant, car or booster seat determined by age, weight and height.
Page 8: Seat Belts
2002 Volvo C70 Coupe & Convertible Reporting Safety Defects 14 pg. 2 Seat belts Seat belts Always fasten the seat belts before you drive or ride. Two lights above the rear view mirror will be illuminated for 4-8 seconds after the starting (ignition) key is turned to the driving position.

WARNING! · The rear seat of the Volvo C70 is intended for two occupants only. Only two three-point seat belts are provided. The center position should never be used to seat a passenger.
Page 11 As an enhancement to the three-point seat belt system, your Volvo is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). The Volvo SRS consists of an airbag (2) on both the driver's and passenger's sides and seat belt tensioners in both front door pillars (4). The system is designed to supplement the protection provided by the three-point seat belt system.
Page 12 · When installing any optional equipment, make sure that the SRS system is not damaged. Do not attempt to service any component of the SRS yourself. Attempting to do so may result in serious personal injury. If a problem arises, take your car to the nearest authorized Volvo retailer for inspection as soon as possible.
Page 13 (wiring, connectors, etc.) should also be inspected at this time. The SRS decal on your car shows the month and year servicing is due. This service must be performed by an authorized Volvo retailer. Should you have any questions about the SRS system, please contact...
Page 14 Volvo's dual-threshold air bags use special sensors that are integrated with the front seat buckles. The point at which the air bag deploys is determined by whether or not the seat belt is being used, as well as, the severity of the collision.
Page 15 · If the airbags have been deployed, we recommend the following: · Have the car towed to an authorized Volvo retailer. Never drive with the airbags deployed. · Have an authorized Volvo retailer replace the SRS system components.
Page 16 2002 Volvo C70 Coupe & Convertible The heart of the Volvo safety system is the threepoint seat belt (a Volvo invention)! In order for the SRS system to provide the protection intended, seat belts must be worn at all times by everyone in the car.

2002 Volvo C70 Coupe & Convertible pg. 8 Volvo Side Impact Protection System (SIPS) airbag SIPS airbag As an enhancement to the structural Side Impact Protection System built into your car, the car is also equipped with Side Impact Protection System (SIPS) airbags. The SIPS airbag system consists of airbag modules built into the sides of both front seat backrests (1), cables (2) from these modules to the mechanical sensor units (3) and gas generators (4).
Page 18 This may cause airbag deployment which could result in personal injury. Have the car towed to an authorized Volvo retailer for repairs. pg. 9 Whiplash protection System (WHIPS)
Page 19: Whips
· If your car has been involved in a collision, the front seat backrests must be inspected by an authorized Volvo retailer 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.
Page 20 Seats belts for all seating positions are equipped with seat belt tensioners. WARNING! The rear seat of the Volvo C70 is intended for two occupants only. Only two three-point seat belts are provided. The center position should never be used to seat a passenger.
Page 21 The rear seat of the Volvo C70 is intended for two occupants only. Only two three-point seat belts are provided. The center position should never be used to seat a passenger.
Page 22 Because of the size of the air bag 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 fifty years, and we'll continue to do our part.
Page 23: Child Safety
2002 Volvo C70 Coupe & Convertible · Volvo recommends that ALL occupants (adults and children) shorter than four feet seven inches (140 cm) be seated in the back seat of any vehicle with a front passenger side airbag. Drive safely! * Automatic Locking Retractor/Emergency Locking Retractor pg.
Page 24: Occupant Safety
Volvo Concern for Safety Safety is the cornerstone for Volvo. Our concern dates back to 1927 when the first Volvo rolled off the production line. Threepoint seat belts (a Volvo invention), safety cages, and energyabsorbing impact zones were designed into Volvo cars long before it was fashionable or required by government regulation.

2002 Volvo C70 Coupe & Convertible Jump starting If the 12-volt booster battery to be used is in another car, check that the cars are not touching to prevent premature completion of a negative circuit. Note the position of the battery terminals and using jumper cables: First connect the booster battery positive (+) terminal (1) to car battery positive (+) terminal (2).
Page 111 2002 Volvo C70 Coupe & Convertible PROPOSITION 65 WARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. NOTE: Refer to page 126 for information on properly maintaining the battery.
Page 112 If the warning lamp lights up there is a malfunction of the ABS system (the standard braking system will however function) and the vehicle should be driven cautiously to a Volvo retailer for inspection. The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) helps to improve vehicle control (stopping and steering) during severe braking conditions by limiting brake lock-up.
Page 113 If the BRAKE and ABS warning lights come on at the same time, this could indicate a fault in the brake system. If the brake fluid level is above the MIN mark, drive carefully to an authorized Volvo retailer and have the brake system inspected.

Page 119 2002 Volvo C70 Coupe & Convertible should be noted however that the tires have been developed to give these features on snow/icefree surfaces. Certain models are equipped with "all-season" tires, which provide a somewhat higher degree of road holding on slippery surfaces than tires without the "all-season" rating. However, for optimum road holding on icy or snow covered roads we recommend suitable winter tires on all four wheels.
Page 120 Snow chains can be used on your Volvo with the following restrictions: Snow chains should be installed on front wheels only. Use only Volvo approved snow chains. Snow chains may be mounted on tire dimension 195/65R15. Tire dimension 205/55R16 requires a special type of snow chain.

Page 249 2002 Volvo C70 Coupe & Convertible Sending signals The FM waves do not follow the earth's surface nor do they bounce off the atmosphere. For this reason their range is limited. The AM waves follow the earth's surface and reflect against the atmosphere, giving them a wide range.
Page 250 2002 Volvo C70 Coupe & Convertible Static The reason why FM but not AM is audible in covered parking areas, under bridges, etc, is that FM signals reflect against solid objects such as buildings. Because these waves are very reflective, static can result.
Page 251 2002 Volvo C70 Coupe & Convertible FM - reasons for distortion FM is affected by the electrical systems of nearby vehicles, especially those without suppression. The distortion increases if the station is weak or poorly set. The FM reception is not as sensitive to electrical disturbance as AM.
Page 252 Reception conditions are not always optimum and this is, of course, beyond our control. However, we have endeavored to make the Volvo Audio System of a quality that will enable you to enjoy the best possible reception no matter what the reception conditions may be.
