2007 VOLVO C70 CONVERTIBLE wiring

2007 Volvo C70
WARNING
Driving with the trunk open: Driving with the trunk open could lead to poisonous exhaust gases
entering the passenger compartment. If the trunk must be kept open for a\
ny reason, proceed as follows:
l Close the windows
l Set the ventilation system control to air flow to floor, windshield and \
side windows and the blower
control to its highest setting.
Weight distribution affects handling
At the specified curb weight your vehicle has a tendency to understeer, \
which means that the steering
wheel has to be turned more than might seem appropriate for the curvatur\
e of a bend. This ensures good
stability and reduces the risk of rear wheel skid. Remember that these p\
roperties can alter with the vehicle
load. The heavier the load in the cargo area, the less the tendency to u\
ndersteer.
Handling, roadholding
Vehicle load, tire design and inflation pressure all affect vehicle hand\
ling. Therefore,
123 06 Starting and driving
General information
check that the tires are inflated to the recommended pressure according \
to the vehicle load. See the "Tire
pressure" section. Loads should be distributed so that capacity weight o\
r maximum permissible axle loads
are not exceeded.
Driving through water
The vehicle can be driven through water up to a depth of approximately 9\
in. (25 cm), at a maximum
speed of 6 mph (10 km/h).
l Take particular care when driving through flowing water.
l Clean the electrical connections for trailer wiring after driving in mud\
or water
l When driving through water, maintain low speed and do not stop in the wa\
ter.
WARNING
After driving through water, press lightly on the brake pedal to ensure \
that the brakes are functioning
normally. Water or mud can make the brake linings slippery, resulting in\
delayed braking effect.

The system consists of an air compressor, an integrated container for th\
e sealing compound, wiring to
connect the system to the vehicle's electrical system via one of the 12-\
volt sockets, and a hose used to
connect the system to the tire's inflation valve.
NOTE
The tire sealing system is only intended to seal holes on the tire's tre\
ad area, not the
sidewall.
l Tires with large holes or tears cannot be repaired with the tire sealing\
system.
WARNING
l After using the tire sealing system, the vehicle should not be driven fa\
rther than approximately 120
miles (200 km). Have the tire replaced as soon as possible.
l The vehicle should not be driven faster than 50 mph (80 km/h) while us\
ing a tire that has been
temporarily repaired with the tire sealing system.
l After using the tire sealing system, drive carefully and avoid abrupt st\
eering maneuvers and sudden
stops.
l A tire that has been temporarily inflated with the tire sealing kit cann\
ot be repaired and re-used. It
must be replaced.
