1998 VOLVO C70 odometer

The ABS system in your car performs a self -diagnostic test when the vehicle first reaches the speed of approximately
12 mph (20 km/h). The brake pedal will pulsate several times and a sound may be audible from the ABS control
module. This is normal.
Fuel tank cover
The fuel tank cover is locked and must be popped open using the control on the driver's door.
The pages in this section provide detailed descriptions of the vehicle's instruments and controls. Note that vehicles may
be equipped differently, depending on special legal requirements.
