NOTE
Both front seats are equipped with head
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.
Emergency stopIf the seat inadvertently begins to move, press
any of the buttons to stop the seat.

Three different seating positions (and the posi-
tion of the door mirrors) can be stored in the
seat's memory. The memory buttons are
located on the outboard side of the driver’s
seat (see the illustration).

that they were in when memory button 1 was
programmed, press and hold down button 1
until the seat/mirrors stop moving.
As a safety precaution, the seat will stop auto-
matically if the button is released before the
seat has reached the preset position.

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
with the same remote key and that door is
opened within 2 minutes, the driver's seat
and door mirrors will automatically move to

WARNING
•Because the driver's seat can be
adjusted with the ignition off, children
should never be left unattended in the
car.
•Movement of the seat can be STOPPED
at any time by pressing any button on
the power seat control panel.
•Do not adjust the seat while driving. The
seat should be adjusted so that the
brake pedal can be depressed fully. In
addition, position the seat as far rear-
ward as comfort and control allow.
•The seat rails on the floor must not be
obstructed in any way when the seat is
in motion.
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.

Keyless drive keyhole cover
The driver's door on vehicles equipped with
keyless drive can be locked or unlocked with
the remote key's detachable key blade if nec-
essary, see page 119 for information on remov-
ing the key blade from the remote key. To
access the keyhole in the driver's door:
•Pry off the keyhole cover by inserting the
key blade or a small screwdriver in the hole
on the underside of the cover (indicated by
the arrow in the inset illustration).
•Insert the key blade as far as possible in the
driver's door lock. Turn the key blade
clockwise approximately one-quarter turnto unlock the driver's door only. This will
trigger the alarm.
•To disable the alarm: Press the Unlock
button on the keyless drive remote key. If
the batteries in the remote are weak,
remove the keyless drive start control from
the ignition switch by pressing the catch
(see the illustration on page 145) and pull-
ing the control out of the ignition switch.
Insert the ignition key section of a keyless
drive remote key in the ignition switch.
Keyless drive remote key and driver's
seat memory
This function is only available on vehicles
equipped with the optional power driver's seat.
•When you leave the car with a keyless drive
remote key in your possession and lock
any door, the position of the driver's seat
will be stored in the seat's memory.
•The next time a door is opened by a person
with the same remote key in his/her pos-
session, the driver's seat will automatically
move to the position that it was in when the
door was most recently locked.
NOTE
If several people carrying keyless drive
remote keys approach the vehicle at the
same time, the driver's seat will assume the
position it was in for the person who opens
a door first.
Keyless drive information messagesIf anyone leaves the vehicle with the only key-
less drive remote key in his or her possession
while the ignition is switched on, a message will
be shown in the information display and an
audible signal will sound.
NOTE
This message will only be displayed if the
start control is in position I or II.
The message will be erased from the display
and the audible signal will stop when the
remote key has been returned to the vehicle
and one of the following has occurred:
•A door has been opened and closed
•The start control has been turned to posi-
tion 0
•The READ button (see page 56 for the
location of this button) has been pressed.

The text LOADING will be displayed while the
system loads the files (folder structure) on the
device. This may take a short time.
When information about the files (the folder
structure) on the device has been loaded, the
resulting list includes information on the artist,
genre and song title.
To navigate in the folder structure, press
ENTER and scroll up and down the folders
using the arrow buttons (on the audio system
control panel or on the steering wheel keypad).
Press the right arrow button to select a folder.
Press the left arrow button to go up a level in
the folder structure. Press ENTER to go down
a level in the folder structure.
Tracks can be selected in two ways:
Turn the Tuning knob (no. 4 in the illustra-
tion on page 243) clockwise or counter-
clockwise.
Use the right or left arrow keys on the nav-
igation control (no. 5 in the illustration on
page 243) to select the desired track. The
arrow keys on the steering wheel keypad
can also be used in the same way.NOTE
The system supports playback of files in the
most common versions of formats such as
mp3, wma, and wav. However, there may be
versions of these formats that the system
does not support.
The system also supports a number of
iPod Ÿ models produced in 2005 or later.
iPod Ÿ Shuffle is not supported.
USB flash driveTo simplify the use of a USB flash drive, it is
advisable to only store music files on the drive.
It will take considerably longer for the system
to index the files on the drive if it contains any-
thing other than compatible music files.
NOTE
The system supports removable media that
uses the USB 2.0 standard and the FAT32
file system and can index up to 500 folders
and a maximum of 64,000 files. The device
must have at least 256 Mb of memory.
MP3 playerMany MP3 players have a file indexing system
that is not supported by the vehicle's audio
system. In order to use an MP3 player, the sys-
tem must be set to USB Removable device/
Mass Storage Device.
iPod Ÿ
An iPod Ÿ receives current and its battery is
charged through the connecting cord. How-
ever, if the iPod's battery is completely
drained, it should be recharged before the
iPod Ÿ is connected to the audio system.
NOTE
When an iPod Ÿ is used as a sound source,
the vehicle's audio system has a menu
structure similar to the one in the iPod Ÿ. See
the iPod's manual for detailed information.
For further information, refer to the accessory
manual USB/iPod Ÿ Music Interface.
Sound settings
Optimal sound reproductionThe audio system is calibrated for optimal
sound reproduction through the use of digital
signal processing. This calibration takes into
account the speakers, amplifier, cabin acous-
tics, the seating position of the listener, etc., for
each combination of vehicle and audio system.
There is also dynamic calibration that takes
into account the setting of the volume control,
radio reception, and the vehicle's speed. The
sound settings described in this manual, such
as
BASS, TREBLE, and EQUALIZER are only
