2007 Volvo XC70
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.

1. To prevent injury from contact with hot surfaces, do not inspect your\
vehicle's transmission fluid yourself.
Have your vehicle's transmission fluid level inspected by a qualified Vo\
lvo service technician.

Front/rear park assist (option/accessory)
Front/rear park assist
The park assist system(s) are designed to assist you when driving into\
parking spaces, garages, etc. They
utilize ultrasound sensors located in the bumpers to measure the distanc\
e to a vehicle or other object, or
a person who may be close to the front or rear of the vehicle.
When is park assist active?
Front: the system is active from the time the engine is started until the vehi\
cle exceeds a speed of
approximately 10 mph (15 km/h). It is also active when the vehicle is \
backing up. Front park assist
reactivates automatically when the vehicle's speed goes under 10 mph (1\
5 km/h).
Rear: when the engine is running and reverse gear is selected.
NOTE:
"PARK ASSIST ACTIVE" will be displayed.
l If the vehicle is equipped with front and rear park assist, both systems\
will either be activated or
deactivated together. They cannot be used separately.
l The indicator light in the button (see the illustration on page 52) will light up to indicate that park
assist system(s) are activated.
When park assist is actively working:

l The audio system's volume will be reduced.
l An intermittent signal will be audible from the speakers to indicate tha\
t you are approaching a person,
object, parked vehicle, etc. The signals begin when the distance between\
the bumper and the object is:
Rear: approximately 5 feet (1.5 meters)
Front: approximately 2.5 ft (0.8 meters)
l At a distance of approximately 1 foot (30 cm), the signal will become \
constant. If objects are close to
both the front and rear bumpers, the signal will alternate between the f\
ront and rear speakers.
Deactivating the system(s)
- Press the Park assist button on the center console (see
page 55) to temporarily deactivate the system(s).
- The indicator light in the button will go out when the system(s) hav\
e been deactivated.
- If the vehicle is equipped with front and rear park assist, both syste\
ms will be deactivated by pressing
the button.
Park assist will be automatically reactivated the next time the engine i\
s started.
NOTE: It may be necessary to deactivate one or both of the park assist systems\
in certain cases.
l Rear park assist: towing a trailer, carrying bicycles in a rear-mounted carrier, etc, co\
uld trigger the
rear park assist system's sensors.
l Front park assist: it may not be possible to combine auxiliary headlights and front park \
assist since
these lights could trigger the system's sensors.

Faults in the system
If the yellow warning symbol illuminates and a message is shown in the \
information display, the
system is not functioning properly. Consult a Volvo retailer or authoriz\
ed service technician.
Cleaning the sensors
For the system to function properly, the sensors in the front and/or rea\
r bumpers should be kept clean.
They can be cleaned with car washing detergent and a sponge.
WARNING!
These systems are designed to be a supplementary aid when parking the ve\
hicle. They are not,
however, intended to replace the driver's attention and judgement.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) - option on certain U.S. models\
only
The tire pressure monitoring system uses sensors mounted in the tire val\
ves to check inflation pressure
levels. When the vehicle is moving at a speed of approximately 20 mph (\
30 km/h) or faster, these
sensors transmit inflation pressure data to a receiver located in the ve\
hicle.
USA - FCC ID: MRXTG315AM04
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject\
to the following conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this dev\
ice must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
When low inflation pressure is detected, TPMS will light up the tire pre\
ssure warning light (
) (also
referred to as a telltale) in the instrument panel, and will display a \
message in the text window. The

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) - option on certain U.S. models\
only
- Use a tire pressure gauge to check the inflation pressure of all four \
tires.
- Re-inflate the tire(s) to the correct pressure (consult the tire pr\
essure placard or the tables on
pages 160
and 161.
- Drive the vehicle for several minutes at a speed of 20 mph (30 km/h)\
or faster.
This will erase the warning text and the warning light will go out.
WARNING!
Incorrect inflation pressure could lead to tire failure, resulting in a \
loss of control of the
vehicle.
Changing wheels with TPMS
Please note the following when changing or replacing the factory install\
ed TPMS wheels/ tires on the
vehicle:
l Only the factory-mounted wheels are equipped with TPMS sensors in the va\
lves.
l If the vehicle is equipped with a temporary spare tire, this tire does n\
ot have a TPMS sensor.
l If wheels without TPMS sensors are mounted on the vehicle, TIRE PRESS SY\
ST SERVICE
REQUIRED will be displayed each time the vehicle is driven above 25 mph \
(40 km/h) for 10 minutes or
more.
l Once TPMS sensors are properly installed, the warning message should not\
reappear.
l Volvo recommends that TPMS sensors be fitted on all wheels used on the v\
ehicle. Volvo does not
recommend moving sensors back and forth between sets of wheels.
CAUTION!
When inflating tires with TPMS valves, press the pump's mouthpiece strai\
ght onto the valve to help
avoid bending or otherwise damaging the valve.
