Bonnet
O
The bonnet is fitted with a locking catch
which is operated from the driving seat by
means of a handle located to the left under
the dashboard.
Pulling out the handle releases the bonnet.
O
When the bonnet locking catch has been
released, the bonnet is still retained by a
safety catch. Press up this catch as shown in
the picture opposite and the bonnet can be
lifted up. Closing the bonnet locks it so that
it can only be opened by pulling out the
release handle. Always make sure that the
bonnet locks properly when closed.
Luggage compartment
O
The luggage compartment is locked with the
same key as that used for the doors. The lid
is opened by pressing the handle upwards
as shown in the picture opposite. The lid is
balanced and will thus remain in the position
opened. To the left of the luggage com-
partment there is space sufficient for the
spare wheel and a tool kit. Always make sure
that the spare wheel is fastened securely and
that the tool kit is firmly stowed, otherwise
irritating rattles can occur.

O
The doors are opened from the inside by
turning the door handle to the rear. The ven-
tilation windows for the door are opened by
unscrewing the lock stud, pressing it in and
then turning the handle upwards. Screwing

O
The rear side windows can be partially open-
ed by setting the handle at the rear edge in
different positions.
To prevent the locks from freezing up in
cold weather, apply a suitable anti-freeze
agent. If the locks are already frozen, do not
exert undue force on the key otherwise you
might break it. Instead, heat it with a match
or similar and place it quickly in the keyhole.

Should you lose the car keys, contact
your nearest Volvo dealer for new keys

which have been lost.
