1 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 7: Seat Belts
2002 VOLVO V70 Stability Traction Control (STC) 20 Dynamic Stability Traction Control (DSTC) pg. 2 Seat belts Seat belts Always fasten the seat belts before you drive or ride. A chime will sound several times if the driver's seat belt is not fastened.
Page 8 2002 VOLVO V70 Child seats: Please refer to page 14 for information on securing child seats with the seat belts. During pregnancy Pregnant women should always wear seat belts. Remember that the belt should always be positioned in such a way as to avoid any possible pressure on the abdomen. The lap portion of the belt should be located low, as shown in the above illustration.
Page 9: Center Head Restraint
Never repair the belt on your own; have this work done by an authorized Volvo retailer only. Any device used to induce slack into the shoulder belt portion of the three-point belt system will have a detrimental effect on the amount of protection available to you in the event of a collision.
Page 10 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 11 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 12 If the SRS warning light stays on after the engine has started or if it comes on while you are driving, drive the car to the nearest authorized Volvo retailer for inspection as soon as possible. There is no maintenance to perform on the SRS yourself. The month and year shown on the decal on the door pillar indicate when you should contact your Volvo retailer for specific servicing or replacement of airbags and seat belt tensioners.

Page 14 Collisions can occur where only one of the airbags deploys. NOTE: Volvo's dual-stage air bags:If the impact is less severe, but severe enough to present a clear injury risk, the dual-stage airbags are triggered at just 70% of its total capacity. If the impact is more severe, the dual-stage airbags are triggered with full capacity.
Page 15 2002 VOLVO V70 WARNING! Children must never be allowed in the front passenger seat. 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 passenger-side front airbag. See page 14 for guidelines.
Page 16 Seat belts - the heart of the Volvo safety system The heart of the Volvo safety system is the three-point 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.
Page 17: Side Impact Airbags (Sips)
Never try to open or repair any components of the SIPS airbag system. This should be done only by an authorized Volvo service technician. In order for the SIPS airbag to provide its best protection, both front seat occupants should sit in an upright position with the seat belt properly fastened.
Page 18 This may cause airbag deployment which could result in personal injury. Have the car towed to an authorized Volvo retailer for repairs.
Page 19: Volvo Inflatable Curtain (Vic)
2002 VOLVO V70 Volvo Inflatable Curtain (VIC) This system consists of inflatable curtains located along the sides of the roof liners, stretching from the center of both front side windows to the rear edge of the rear side door windows. It is designed to help protect the heads of the occupant of the front seat and the occupant of the outboard rear seat position in certain side impact collisions.
Page 20 2002 VOLVO V70 WARNING! The IC 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 car or in most rollover situations. Never try to open or repair any components of the IC system. This should be done only by an authorized Volvo service technician.
Page 21 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 22 2002 VOLVO V70 pg. 11 Child safety If all the seats are occupied, a rear-facing auxiliary seat in the cargo area can be used. This seat is designed for two children, each weighing between 50 - 88 lbs. (23 - 40 kg) with a total seat capacity of 176 lbs.
Page 23 12 Child safety Integrated booster cushions, outboard positions (optional) Volvo's own integrated booster cushions have been specially designed to help safeguard a child seated in the rear seat. When using an integrated booster cushion, the child must be secured with the vehicle's three-point seat belt.
Page 24 2002 VOLVO V70 1. Pull the handle at the front of the cushion forward. 2. With both hands push the cushion rearward. 3. Push the cushion until it locks in place. Outboard integrated booster cushions - Lowering 1. Pull the handle at the front of the cushion forward. 2. Push the cushion forward/ downward.
Page 25 The booster cushion should also be replaced if it is badly worn or damaged in any way. This work should be performed by an authorized Volvo retailer only. The booster cushion should be cleaned while in place in the vehicle if possible. If not, please consult your Volvo retailer.
Page 26 2002 VOLVO V70 Why Volvo believes no child should sit in the front seat of a car. It's quite simple really. A front air bag is a very powerful device designed, by law, to help protect an adult. 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.
Page 27: Child Restraint Anchorages
2002 VOLVO V70 Child Restraint Anchorages Volvo cars are fitted with child restraint top tether anchorages in the rear seat. Refer to the child seat manufacturer's instruction for information on securing the child seat. WARNING! Child Restraint Anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted Child Restraints.
Page 28: Child Safety
2002 VOLVO V70 Isofix fasteners and Seat guide The Isofix fasteners are installed in the outboard rear seat positions. Consult your Volvo retailer for more information on child safety accessories. pg. 16 Child safety Child safety 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.
Page 29: Seat Belt Maintenance
A specially designed and tested booster cushion (not available in Canada ) for children between 50 - 80 lbs (22.7 - 36 kg) and 46 -54" (117 - 137 cm) can be obtained from your Volvo retailer.

Page 31 WARNING! If the fluid level is below the MIN mark in the reservoir: DO NOT DRIVE. Tow the car to a Volvo retailer and have the brake system inspected. NOTE: When the car is at a standstill and the engine is idling, e.g. at a traffic light and the brake pedal is depressed, the pedal may go down slightly.
Page 32: Anti-Lock Brake System (Abs)
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 lockup.
Page 33 2002 VOLVO V70 If the brake fluid level is above the MIN mark, drive carefully to an authorized Volvo retailer and have the brake system inspected. Stability Traction Control (STC)* The STC system is designed to help reduce wheel spin by limiting power to the drive wheels if they begin to lose traction.
Page 34 DSTC has been temporarily switched off due to high brake temperature. The system will automatically switch on again when the brakes have cooled. If the system has been switched off due to a fault. An authorized Volvo retailer should check the system. Emergency Brake Assistance (EBA) The EBA function is an integrated part of the DSTC system.
Page 35 2002 VOLVO V70 When the EBA system is activated, the brake pedal will go down and pressure in the brake system immediately increases to the maximum level. Maintain full pressure on the brake pedal in order to utilize the system completely. EBA is automatically deactivated when the brake pedal is released.
