1999 S70 & V70
Wagons equipped with roof rails (certain models): The optional cross bars designed for use with roof
rails are slightly curved. The curve should be toward the front of the car when the cross bars are used
(see illustration). The cross bars are marked front/rear and left/right. The cross bars can be installed/
removed by loosening/tightening the screws on the clamps at each end of the cross bar and sliding one
end of the bar forward until it can be lifted on/off the rail. A special torx tool, inserted in the screw
driver handle from the car's tood bag, is designed for this purpose and is included in the tool bag on
these models.
CAUTION: The lugs on the lower cross bar mounting clamps must be properly seated in the groove on
the underside of the roof rails when the clamps are tightened. Check and retighten the clamps at
regular intervals.
If the cross bars are left on the car for extended periods but are not being used, slide them to the rear-
most attachment points to help minimize wind noise.
WARNING! An extra mat on the driver's floor can cause the accelerator pedal to catch. Check that the
movement of the accelerator pedal is not impeded. Not more than one protective floor covering may be
used at one time.
