2006 VOLVO C70 steering

Temporarily repairing a flat tire
Before using the tire sealing system, observe the following:
WARNING!
Never leave the tire sealing system unattended when it is operating.
Keep the tire sealing system kit away from children.
The vehicle's engine should be running when the tire sealing system is used to avoid battery drain. Therefore, be
sure the vehicle is parked in a well ventilated place before using the system.
Be sure the vehicle is parked safely off the road and away from moving traffic.
Apply the parking brake.
Do not remove any foreign objects (nails, etc.) from the tire.
Temporarily repairing a flat tire is done in two stages.
In the first stage, the hole is sealed by pumping sealing compound into the tire. The car is then driven a short
distance to distribute the sealing compound in the tire.
In the second stage, the tire's inflation pressure is checked and adjusted if necessary.
Stage 1: Sealing the hole
Peel off the speed limit sticker (1) and affix it to the steering wheel hub where it will be clearly visible to the driver.
Ensure that the orange switch (2) is in position 0 (the 0 side of the switch should be pressed down).
Pull out the electrical wire (5) and hose (4) from the side compartment (3).
Remove the valve cap from the tire's inflation valve and screw the hose connector onto the valve as tightly as
possible by hand.
Connect the electrical wire to the nearest 12-volt socket in the vehicle.
Release the safety catch (6) and turn the orange colored section of the sealing kit (7), which holds the sealing
compound container, 90 degrees until it clicks into the vertical position.
Start the vehicle's engine.
Start the tire sealing system's compressor by pressing the switch (2) to position I.
NOTE: The air pressure gauge (9) will temporarily show an increase in pressure to approximately 88 psi (6 bar) while
the sealing compound is being pumped into the tire. The pressure should return to a normal level after approximately
one minute.

Tire sealing system
WARNING!
ProCarManuals.com

Contact with the sealing compound may cause skin irritation. If contact occurs, wash the affected area immediately
with soap and water.
Never stand next to the tire being inflated when the compressor is in operation. If cracks, bubbles, etc. form on the
tire, switch off the compressor immediately. If there is visible damage to the sidewall or the rim, the tire cannot be
repaired. The vehicle should not be driven if this occurs. Contact a towing service or Volvo On Call Roadside
Assistance if applicable.
Within seven minutes, inflate the tire to between 22 - 50 psi (1.8 - 3.5 bar). Switch off the compressor briefly to get a
clear reading from the pressure gauge (9).
CAUTION!
If the pressure remains below 22 psi (1.8 bar) after approximately seven minutes, turn off the compressor. In this
case, the hole is too large to be sealed and the vehicle should not be driven.
Disconnect the electrical wire from the 12-volt socket.
Unscrew the hose from the tire's inflation valve and reinstall the valve cap.
Fold down the orange section of the tire sealing system to its original (horizontal) position and press the safety catch
into place.
Safely stow the tire sealing system kit in a convenient place as it will soon be used again to check the tire's inflation
pressure.
Immediately drive the vehicle for approximately 2 miles (3 km) to distribute the sealing compound in the tire.
WARNING!
If heavy vibrations, unsteady steering behavior, or noises should occur while driving, reduce speed and park the car
in a safe place. Recheck the tire for bumps, cracks, or other visible damage, and recheck its inflation pressure. If the
pressure is below 16 psi (1.3 bar), do not continue driving. Have the vehicle towed to a workshop or Volvo retailer.
Stage 2: Checking inflation pressure
Park the car in a safe place.
Ensure that the orange switch (2) is in position 0 (the 0 side of the switch should be pressed down).
Remove the valve cap from the tire's inflation valve and screw the hose connector onto the valve as tightly as
possible by hand.
Connect the electrical wire to the nearest 12-volt socket in the vehicle.
Start the vehicle's engine.
Check the tire's inflation pressure on the gauge (9).
NOTE: In dark conditions, switching on the tire sealing system's compressor will illuminate the pressure gauge.
Inflate the tire to the correct pressure as indicated in the tire inflation tables on page 116. If the tire needs to be
inflated, start the tire sealing system's compressor. If necessary, release air from the tire by pressing the vent button (8).
Turn off the compressor (press switch 2 to the 0 position) when the correct inflation pressure has been reached.

CAUTION!
The compressor should not be used for more than ten minutes at a time to avoid overheating.

Opening the hood
To open the hood:
Pull the lever located under the left side of the dash to release the hood lock.
Lift the hood slightly.
Press up the release control located under the front edge of the hood (at the center) up to the right, and lift the hood.
WARNING!
Check that the hood locks engage properly when closed.

WARNING!
The cooling fan may start or continue to operate (for up to 6 minutes) after the engine has been switched off.
ProCarManuals.com

The cooling system must always be kept filled to the correct level, and the level must be between the MIN and
MAX marks. If it is not kept filled, there can be high local temperatures in the engine which could result in damage.
Different types of antifreeze/coolant may not be mixed. Check coolant regularly!
WARNING!
Never remove the radiator cap while the engine is warm. Wait until the vehicle cools.
If it is necessary to top off the coolant when the engine is warm, unscrew the expansion tank cap slowly so that the
overpressure dissipates.

Fluids
Brake fluid
The brake fluid should always be between the MIN and MAX marks on the side of the reservoir. Check, without
removing the cap, that there is sufficient fluid in the reservoir.
Fluid type: DOT 4+ boiling point >536°F (280°C), P/N 9437433
Replace: The fluid should be replaced according to the intervals specified in the Warranty and Service Records
Information booklet. When driving under extremely hard conditions (mountain driving, etc), it may be necessary to
replace the fluid more often. Consult your Volvo retailer. Always entrust brake fluid changing to a trained and
qualified Volvo service technician.
Power steering fluid
The fluid level should always be between the MIN and MAX marks.
ProCarManuals.com

Fluid type: Volvo power steering fluid or equivalent.
Replace: No fluid change required
WARNING!
If a problem should occur in the power steering system or if the vehicle has no electrical current and must be towed,
it is still possible to steer the vehicle. However, keep in mind that greater effort will be required to turn the steering
wheel.

Wiper blades
Replacing windshield wiper blades
Fold out the wiper arm and fold out the wiper blade at a 90° angle to the wiper arm.
Pull off the wiper blade from the attachment, straight to the side.
Slide in a new wiper blade at a 90° angle to the wiper arm.
Fold in the wiper blade under the metal plate and fold the wiper arm down.
NOTE: The wiper blades are different lengths. The blade on the driver's side is longer than the one on the passenger's
side.

WARNING!
Never use fuses with higher amperage than those stated in the following tables. Doing so could overload the
vehicle's electrical system.
Fuse box in the engine compartment
The fuse box in the engine compartment has positions for 36 fuses.
Fuses 1-18 are relays/circuit breakers and should only be removed or replaced by a trained and qualified Volvo
service technician.
Fuses 19-36 may be changed at any time when necessary. Several extra fuses and a fuse removal tool to assist in
removing/replacing fuses can be found on the underside of the fuse box cover in the engine compartment.
