Volvo recommends that you always drive on tires of the same brand, size,\
construction (radial), tread
pattern, load-, speed-, traction- , temperature-, and treadwear rating. \
Never drive on mixed tires, except
for brief periods when the temporary spare tire is in use.
Always use properly inflated tires of correct dimensions. Tire size and \
inflation pressures are shown on
the tire inflation pressure placards, located on the driver's side B-pil\
lar (the structural member at the side
of the vehicle, at the rear of the driver's door opening), or on the in\
side of the fuel filler door on
Canadian models.
Temporary Spare
The temporary spare tire is for temporary, low-speed, short-distance use\
only. Replace it with a full-
sized tire as soon as possible. Do not drive on the temporary spare at s\
peeds above 50 mph (80km/h) or
for distances greater than 50 miles (80 km).
Never install snow chains on a temporary spare.

Four-C active chassis system
Four-C active chassis
The FOUR-C (Continuously Controlled Chassis Concept) active chassis sy\
stem, consisting of Comfort
and Sport modes, is available as an option.
NOTE: The V70 R has a standard FOUR-C system consisting of Comfort, Sport, an\
d Advanced sport
modes. The buttons for controlling these driving modes are located in ce\
nter instrument panel, above the
ventilation system panel vents, see the illustration in the right column\
. These buttons can be pressed at
any time to change driving modes. An indicator light in the selected but\
ton will come on to indicate the
driving mode that is currently selected.
This system is based on a number of sensors that continuously monitor fa\
ctors such as the vehicle's
lateral and vertical movements, speed, and movements of the wheels. The \
sensors receive data up to 500
times per second, which is used to provide extremely fast and precise ad\
justment of each shock
absorber. The system adjusts the stiffness of the shock absorbers approx\
imately 100 times per second
Use the button in the center console to switch between the driving modes\
Comfort and Sport. This can
be done at any time.
Comfort
The Comfort mode chassis setting offers the greatest amount of shock abs\
orption and the softest ride.

Compact disc care
l Keep the discs clean. Wipe them with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth, wor\
king from the center outwards.
If necessary, dampen the cloth with a neutral soap solution. Dry thoroug\
hly before using.
l Never use cleaning spray or antistatic liquid. Use only cleaners specifi\
cally made for CDs.
l Use discs of the correct size only (3.5" discs should never be used). \
l The discs should conform to the norms EN60908 (IEC60908). CDR discs ca\
n cause listening
problems due to the quality of the disc or recording equipment used.
l DualDisc: The audio side of a DualDisc (combined CD/DVD) does not meet\
CD specifications and
may not play in your audio system.
l Do not put tape or labels on the disc itself.
l Volvo does not recommend the use of plastic outer rings on the disc.
l Condensation may occur on discs/optical components of the changer in col\
d 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.
l Never attempt to play a disc which is damaged in any way.
l When not in use, the discs should be stored in their covers. Avoid stori\
ng discs in excessive heat,
direct sunlight or dusty locations.
