2007 Volvo V70
CAUTION!
Use ample washer fluid when washing the windshield. The windshield should be thoroughly wet
when the wipers are in operation.
To conserve washer fluid in driving conditions where the windshield washers are used frequently, the
headlights will only be washed once for every five times the windshield is washed within a 10-minute
period.
A short pull on the lever will wash the windshield only.
When approximately 1 US quart (1 liter) remains in the washer fluid reservoir, the headlights will not
be washed when the lever is pulled to conserve washer fluid for the windshield.
NOTE: R-models are also equipped with headlight wipers, which are activated along with the washer
function.
Rain sensor (option)
The rain sensor automatically regulates wiper speed according to the amount of water on the windshield.
The sensitivity of the sensor can be adjusted by twisting ring 1 up (the wipers will sweep the windshield
more frequently) or down (the wipers will sweep the windshield less frequently).
Activating the rain sensor:
- Turn the ignition key to at least position I and put the windshield wiper lever in position 0.
- Press button 2.
An LED in the button will light up to indicate that the rain sensor is active.
Deactivating the rain sensor:
- Press button 2.
or
- Move the windshield wiper lever down to another position.
Moving the lever up will not deactivate the rain sensor. Doing so will cause the wipers to sweep the
windshield until the lever is released, at which time the wipers return to rain sensor mode.
