2002 VOLVO V70 ECO mode

Vehicle loading
The tires on your Volvo should perform to specifications at all normal loads when inflated as recommended on the tire
informa-tion label. The label is located on the inside of the fuel filler door. The label lists both tire and vehicle design
limits. Do not load your car beyond the load limits indicated.WARNING!
Improperly inflated tires will reduce tire life, adversely affect vehicle handling and can possibly lead to failure
resulting in loss of vehicle control without prior warning.
Temporary Spare
The spare tire in your car is called a "Temporary Spare". It has the following designation: T125/80 R17 (T135/90 R17
on the Cross Country).
At the recommended tire pressure shown on the inside of the fuel filler door, the tire may be used as a temporary
replacement for a front or rear tire.
In the event of damage to this tire, a new one can be purchased from your Volvo retailer.WARNING!
Current legislation prohibits the use of the "Temporary Spare" tire other than as a temporary replacement for a
punctured tire. It must be replaced as soon as possible by a standard tire. Road holding and handling may be
affected with the "Temporary Spare" in use. Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h). Do not drive farther than 50 miles
(80 km) on a temporary spare tire.
All Wheel Drive models: Driving with the "Temporary Spare" at speeds above 50 mph (80 kph) can lead to
excessive wear on transmission components.
CAUTION:
The car must not be driven with wheels of different dimensions or with a spare tire other than the one that came with
the car. The use of different size wheels can seriously damage your car's transmission.
NOTE: Certain models may be equipped with a full-size spare tire. When used, it should be inflated to the same
pressure as the tire it is replacing.

been successfully programmed. Release both buttons.
5. If you are programming a rolling code-equipped device (e.g., garage door opener or entry door lock), refer to
"Programming rolling codes" on the next page to complete the programming process. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to program
the other two transceiver buttons. If, after several attempts, you are unable to successfully train the HomeLink®
Universal Transceiver to learn your hand -held transmitter's signal, contact HomeLink® toll-free 1-800-355-3515
(Internet: www.HomeLink.com
).
WARNING!
If you use HomeLink® to open a garage door or gate, be sure no one is near the gate or door while it is in motion.
Do not use the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver with any garage door opener that lacks safety "stop" and
"reverse" features as required by federal safety standards. (This includes any garage door opener model
manufactured before April 1, 1982) A garage door opener that cannot "detect" an object, signalling the door to
"stop" and "reverse" does not meet current federal safety standards. Using a garage door opener without these
features increases the risk of serious injury or death. For more information on this matter, call toll-free 1-800-355-
3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.com
).
pg. 163 HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)
NOTE - Canadian residents:
During programming, your hand -held transmitter may automatically stop transmitting. To successfully train
HomeLink®, continue to hold the HomeLink® button. At the same time, repeatedly press and hold your hand -held
transmitter's button at two-second intervals until HomeLink® has learned your transmitter's code. The HomeLink®
indicator light will flash first slowly, and then rapidly to indicate that the button has been successfully programmed.
Determining if your garage door uses a rolling code
Determine, in one of the following ways, if your garage door uses a rolling code system and is manufactured after
1996:
Refer to the garage door opener owner's manual for verification.
If your hand -held transmitter appears to program the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver but the programmed button
does not activate the garage door, your garage door opener may have a rolling code.
Press the programmed HomeLink® button. If the garage door opener has the rolling code feature, the HomeLink®
indicator light flashes rapidly and then glows steadily after approximately 2 seconds.
To train a rolling code garage door opener, follow these instructions after programming the desired transceiver
button according to "Programming the transceiver." The help of a second person may make training easier.
1. Locate the training button on the garage door opener motor head unit. The location and color of the training button
may vary. If you encounter difficulty, refer to the garage door opener owner's manual or call toll-free 1-800-355-3515
(Internet: www.HomeLink.com
).
2. Press the "training" button on the garage door opener motor head unit until the "training" light comes on.
3. Press and release the programmed HomeLink® button. Press and release the programmed HomeLink® button a
second time to complete the training process. Some garage door openers may require you to do this procedure a third
time to complete the training.
The programmed button on your HomeLink® Universal Transceiver should now operate your garage door opener. The
original hand -held transmitter can also be used, as desired, to operate the garage door.
