Bonnet
The bonnet is fitted with a locking
catch which is operated from the driv-
ing seat by means of a handle located
to the left under the dashboard.
Pulling out the handle releases the
bonnet.
When the bonnet locking catch has been
released, the bonnet is still retained
by a safety catch. Press in 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
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 oppo-
site. The lid is balanced and will thus
remain in the opened position. To the
left of the luggage compartment 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, other-
wise irritating rattles can occur.

Doors and locks
Both the doors are fitted with a lock
and keyhole.
Both doors can be locked from inside
the car by pressing down the lock
buttons on the window ledge. The lock
button lifts automatically when the
door is opened from the inside. The
doors can be locked from the outside
by pressing the lock button on the
window ledge and shutting the door.
Do not leave the keys in the car.
The doors are opened from the inside
by turning the door handle to the rear.
The ventilation windows for the door
are opened by unscrewing the lock stud,
pressing it in and then turning the
handle upwards. Screwing in the stud,
locks the handle.
The rear side windows can be partially
opened by setting the handle at the
rear edge in different positions (does
not apply to type 13-121).
To prevent the locks from freezing up
i n cold weather, apply a suitable anti-
freeze agent. If the locks arc 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 into the keyhole.
Should you lose the car keys, con-
tact your nearest Volvo dealer for
new keys and quote the code num-
ber of the keys which have been
lost.
