2005 VOLVO V70 radio

Remote keyless entry system
Your car is equipped with two coded remote control transmitters with integrated ignition keys called Key Integrated
Remote (KIR). These transmitters use a radio frequency that will enable you to lock/unlock all doors and the tailgate
from a distance of 10-15 feet (3-5 meters).
The transmitters will also activate or allow "keyless" entry into the passenger compartment or the tailgate. They will
also activate or deactivate the vehicle's alarm system(s).
The car can also be locked/unlocked with the key.
If one of the transmitters is misplaced, contact your nearest authorized Volvo retailer for replacement.

setting.
Floor mats: 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.
Electrical system
When replacing the battery or when carrying out work involving the electrical system, the following should be
observed:
A battery connection to the wrong terminal will damage the electrical system. Be sure to connect the positive battery
cable to the positive battery terminal and the negative battery cable to the negative battery terminal.
If booster batteries are used for starting, they must be properly connected to minimize the risk of the electrical
system being damaged. For correct connection, see "Jump starting" section.
Never disconnect the battery circuit (for example, to replace the battery) while the engine is running, as this may
damage the generator. Always make sure that all the battery connections are properly cleaned and tightened.
If any electrical welding work is performed on the vehicle, the battery's ground lead (negative cable) and all the
connecting cables of the generator must be disconnected and the welder cables placed as near the welding points as
possible.
The radio must be turned off before the battery is disconnected.
Switch off the ignition for at least 10 minutes before disconnecting the battery.
pg. 103 Roof racks/Load carriers
Load carriers (accessory)
Load carriers are available as Volvo accessories. Observe the following points when in use:
To avoid damaging your car and to achieve maximum safety when driving, we recommend using the load carriers
that Volvo has developed especially for your car.
Volvo-approved removable roof racks are designed to carry the maximum allowable roof load for this vehicle: 220
lbs (100 kg). For Non-Volvo roof racks, check the manufacturer's weight limits for the rack.
Never exceed the rack manufacturer's weigh limits and never exceed the maximum rated roof load of 220 lbs (100
kg).
Avoid single-point loads. Distribute loads evenly.
Place heavier cargo at the bottom of the load.
Anchor the cargo correctly with appropriate tie-down equipment.
Check periodically that the load carriers and load are properly secured.
Remember that the car's center of gravity and handling change when you carry a load on the roof.
The car's wind resistance (and correspondingly, fuel consumption) will increase with the size of the load.
Drive smoothly. Avoid rapid starts, fast cornering and hard braking.

A subwoofer mounted under the floor in the cargo area is available as an option. Consult your Volvo retailer.
Compact disc care
• Before using a new disc for the first time, remove any burrs in the center/outer edge by running the stem of a pen or
similar object around the hole/edge of the disc.
ProCarManuals.com

• Use high quality discs only.
• Keep the discs clean. Wipe them with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth, working from the center outwards. If necessary,
dampen the cloth with a neutral soap solution. Dry thoroughly before using.
• Never use cleaning spray or antistatic liquid. Use only cleaners specifically made for CDs.
• Use discs of the correct size only (3.5" discs should never be used). The discs should conform to the norms EN60908
(IEC60908).
• Do not put tape or labels on the disc itself.
• Volvo does not recommend the use of plastic outer rings on the disc.
• Condensation may occur on discs/optical components of the changer in cold winter weather. The disc can be dried
with a clean, lint-free cloth. Optical components in the CD changer may, however, take up to one hour to dry off.
• Never attempt to play a disc which is damaged in any way.
• When not in use, the discs should be stored in their covers. Avoid storing discs in excessive heat, direct sunlight or
dusty locations.

Volume control
Turn the knob clockwise to increase volume. Volume control is electronic and does not have an end stop. If you have

Volume control - ALARM
If a CD is playing when the radio receives an alarm bulletin (available in certain areas only), the CD player enters
pause mode. The bulletin is broadcast at the volume selected for this type of message.
After the bulletin has been completed, the audio system reverts to the originally selected sound source (radio or CD),
which is played at the volume that was selected for that source.
If the bulletin volume is adjusted while the bulletin is being broadcast, this new volume is saved and used for
subsequent bulletins.
