restraints that can be adjusted vertically to
suit the height of the passenger. The upper
edge of the head restraint should be at least
on a level with the upper-most point of the
seat occupant's ear (see the section
"Adjusting the front seat head restraints" on
page 98).
NOTE
The power seats have an overload protector
that activates if a seat is blocked by any
object. If this occurs, switch off the ignition
(key in position 0) and wait for approxi-
mately 20 seconds before operating the
seat again.

ped with an optional function that controls the
electrically operated driver's seat in the follow-
ing way:

position.
2. When you leave the car, lock it using the
remote key.
3. The next time the driver's door is unlocked

Adjusting the front seat head restraints
The front seat head restraints are designed so
that they can be adjusted to two different
height positions.
NOTE
•When the vehicle leaves the factory, the
front seat head restraints will be in the
lower position.
•Due to the low roofline of the Volvo C70,
it is necessary to have the headrest in
the lowest position and also to lower the
seat height adjustment if you wish to
fold down the seat's backrest.
The head restraints should be put in the upper
or lower position according to the height of the
occupant of the seat.
The upper edge of the head restraint should be
at least on a level with the upper-most point of
the seat occupant's ear (see illustration).
To raise or lower a head restraint:
Raising or lowering a head restraint1. Release the head restraint by pressing the
button underneath its left side, at the base
of the support (see the illustration).
2. Move the head restraint until it clicks
(locks) into the upper or lower position.

Removing a head restraintThe front seat head restraints can be removed,
for example, when cleaning the upholstery or if
the front passenger's seat backrest is folded
down to accommodate a long load. To do so:

release button underneath its left side, at
the base of the support.
2. While holding in the release button, press
the locking button at the base of the head
restraint's right support with a screw

removed, it must be put properly back
in place and it must lock (click) into one
of the available adjustment positions
before the seat is occupied.
•The front seat head restraints must be
in position and properly adjusted to the
height of the person sitting in the seat
when the vehicle is driven and when the
front passenger's seat is occupied.
