Volvo C70 BROCHURE 2 User manual

There’s more to life than a Volvo. There’s the taste of the sea that
says you’re on vacation. There’s the sight of the peak that makes
you push on. There’s the sound of a laugh that makes you laugh.
There’s the incomplete sentence that’s completely understood.
There’s the wind using the clouds to keep the stars shiny. There’s
the look of love. There’s the scent of fantasy. There’s the slap
of reality. There are five senses that trigger emotions. There
are emotions that inform rationality. There’s a sixth sense that
knows this already. There’s common sense, of course. And there’s
uncommon beauty. That’s why there’s a Volvo C70.

This is why we sing.

What this car does to inspire your travels and make real your dreams, it does
with the sky as your witness. This is where the emotional and the physical
intersect: where the art and power of clean Scandinavian design comes to
be a spectacular convertible and a stylish coupe.
two dream cars – one set of wheels

in touch
Emotions may drive us, but you get to steer.
Where to? As you discover new roads and rediscover favourite journeys, expect a high level
of comfort as well as exhilaration at every turn. Grip the supple steering wheel and settle into
one of the world’s most comfortable automobile seats. You’ll recognise the cabin’s elegance
as a testament to simplicity and a model of ergonomic excellence, yet sophisticated onboard
technology like Bluetooth®connectivity and GPS navigation are quietly at work and close
at hand.

The sky is not the only place to find stars.
From the wheels up you’ll discover first-class comfort, world-class safety and form
that beautifully serves function. At first glance you’ll notice new Volvo design details
such as the headlamps that sweep back gracefully, yet seek out protectively with
Active Bending Lights and the redesigned rear lamps that include state-of-the-art
Adaptive Brake Lights that rapidly flash to warn cars behind when you have to
brake harder than normal. Ever so stellar, nothing shines brighter than legendary
Volvo safety.
beaut y & brilliance

A magic carpet for the modern world.
Enjoy smooth sailing with the top up or down. The stiff, reinforced car body
of the Volvo C70 enables the advanced suspension system to sense and
predictably cope with all types of road surfaces. What’s more, the informative
electro-hydraulic steering responds immediately to your commands while
even the rear wheels will turn slightly to help you glide through corners. And
whether you choose the petrol-fuelled T5 or the new diesel-powered D4,
you’ll find ample reserves of torque, smooth delivery of power and instant
response at any speed. Like magic.
at your command

What makes a moment sensational?
Moments are measured, in part, by their ability to
recall a sound, taste, smell, touch or sight. A journey
with the top down, with all senses engaged, seems
to increase a moment’s chance of being sensational.
And being sensational is okay with us.

A short cut to the centre of attention.
The well-appointed cabin of the Volvo C70 seats four travellers in total
comfort. Elegant simplicity and tasteful detailing are the hallmarks of
sophisticated Scandinavian design and beautifully represented here with
Volvo’s real aluminium inlays and Volvo’s genuine chrome-free leather. Up
front, the unique floating centre stack is also available in Volvo’s real wood
and presents simple controls for information, entertainment, comfort and
more. In the back, the rear-seat passengers can wave to the crowd while
enjoying plenty room and backrests with a comfortable tilt.
full on fabulous

Put the top down. Turn the stereo up.
Life is simple again.
Music has a friend in Volvo’s modern sound systems. With talent in abundance,
here you’ll find a choice of three excellent systems – each calibrated especially
for the interior of Volvo C70 (top-up and top-down). Each system features a CD
player and RDS radio as well as an auxiliary input so you can plug in a portable
music player. For those with an iPod®or mp3 player, there is a USB and iPod®
Music Interface available to make your playlists appear in the centre console
display. And to make things ever so simple, all systems can be controlled from
buttons on the steering wheel.
virtuoso trio

Premium Sound. Total immersion.
This is an audiophiles dream. When you choose The Premium Sound system you are
taking centre stage – surrounded by gloriously accurate sound reproduction provided by
world-class components. Finessed by Dolby®Pro Logic®II Surround – which utilises a
special centre loudspeaker and sophisticated sound processing – The Premium Sound
system ensures that every passenger enjoys a well-balanced stereo presence regardless
of seating position (a remarkable achievement considering how nobody sits in the middle
of the car). What’s more, an extremely efficient digital Class D amplifier powers twelve
perfectly matched loudspeakers with superior transient response and pure dynamics. But
that’s not all. Add two subwoofers (for a total of 910 Watts!) and you have a convertible
with a sound system that can blow the roof off.
el maestro

A marvel of engineering eclipsed only by the
beauty it reveals.
The world’s first three-piece retractable hardtop is a marvel of engineering. You’ll soon
discover this for yourself because as the roof automatically goes up, so will the corners
of your mouth. In fact, it’s hard not to smile. Just push a button on the centre console
and the retractable top performs a synchronised metamorphosis that seems to inspire
applause. And with the insulated roof hidden in the boot, there’s still room in there for
your tennis gear. From hardtop coupe to open-air convertible in less than thirty seconds
– with a grin that lasts much longer. Having two dream cars on one set of wheels is a
beautiful thing.
escape or embrace

Attractive, inviting, yet very exclusive
– especially when locked.
Perhaps because it is built in Sweden, so close to the North Pole, this beautiful
Volvo C70 has a certain undeniable magnetism. But with this magnetism comes a
responsibility we take seriously – because Volvo safety doesn’t stop when you park your
car. With the hardtop up, this car provides a much higher level of anti-theft protection
than a soft-top. But even with the roof down, an advanced locking system affords secure
storage of personal items. And with keyless drive, you can unlock doors as you grasp
the handle and start the car with the key still in your pocket or handbag.

There’s more to life than a volvo. That’s why we design our
cars to support you in any situation on the road. That’s why
our safety technology has pushed automotive development for
more than eighty years. That’s why we aim for a future where
cars don’t crash. That’s why we lead the way to zero emissions,
and offer one of the premium segments strongest ranges of
low CO2 alternatives. And there are all the reasons in the world
to move the boundaries for what’s possible and what’s not.
That’s why we innovate for life.

On-road enlightenment.
Active Bending Lights (ABL) with Dual Xenon technology
expands your vision range when driving in the dark and
provides considerably improved illumination around bends.
Innovated for your enjoyment, the Volvo
safety technologies will protect more than
the fun of driving.
Across the world, Volvo equals safety. And that comes with good reason, because
few carmakers can match our record of safety innovations and the commitment for
safety that has guided us for more than 80 years. Of course, this makes us extremely
proud. But we’re not satisfied. Because we know what we want to achieve: zero
accidents. This huge task calls for innovative thinking and a brand new approach to the
way we design cars. Good news is we’ve already come a long way. For starters, our
cars are more fun and engaging to drive than ever (because a bored driver will never
be a safe driver). Neither is the technology needed any figment of the imagination
– some is already available in your Volvo. This means driving a Volvo today is like
having a first peek at a very exciting automotive future – a future where passionate
engineering and design do more to help you get the most out of life.
After all, there’s more to life than a Volvo.
Personal gatekeeping.
Inspired by fighte r aircraft technology, Intelligent Driver
Information System (IDIS) can help reduce your workload
in stressful situations.
An eye on the blind spot.
Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) helps you detect
vehicles entering your blind spot.
Stay on track.
Volvo’s anti-skid system Dynamic Stabilit y and Trac tion
Control (DSTC) improves handling and safety in a wide
range of challenging situations.
Eyes in the back.
Park Assist alerts you if you’re too close to an obst acle
behind your car when reversing.
24/7 peace of mind.
Stay co ol. Volvo On Call is Vol vo’s integrated emergency
and roadside assist ance technology.
Exhilarating comfort.
Ergon omic d esign in seats and driver’s environment makes
you rela xed and helps maintain your concentration on driving .

Fuel-saving design.
To reduce energy-loss from wind and roll resistance , we
utilise advanced aerodynamic design, light-weight materials
and low-friction technology. Together with state-of-the-a rt
engine technology, this lowers your CO2emissions and
helps you travel further on less fuel.
85% recyclable.
To help minimise its total environment al impact, every Volvo
is designed to facili tate recover y and recyclin g at the end
of its useful life.
Designed to catch the light brilliantly,
this car also reflects a promise.
Thankfully, the automotive industry is moving away from fantasyland to the real world.
Our journey towards a better environment started already in the early 70’s. Then we
were among the first carmakers to acknowledge the environmental downside of cars
and to do something about it. Since then we are constantly innovating to reduce the
environmental impact of the cars and how we make them.
Today’s biggest challenge is, of course, to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions that
cause climate change. Today we offer one of the premium segments strongest ranges
of low CO2alternatives: the Volvo DRIVe variants. Utilising innovative powertrain
technology together with advanced aerodynamics, low friction technology and
lightweight materials, the DRIVe range is an important step towards zero emissions.
In near future we will introduce new technology such as plug-in hybrid vehicles that
will further reduce CO2emissions and can be charged from a standard wall socket.
And we’re heavily engaged in the development of electrical vehicles – a technology
that will dramatically reduce the environmental footprint of our cars and make them
even more fun to drive.
Good for you, and for the world we share.
Allergy-tested materials.
All our upholsteries and interior textiles are tested for
certain allergy-inducing or harmful substances and comply
with Oeko-Tex Standard 100. And several interior meta l
details are tested with regard to contact allergies. Good for
you, and for anyone who shares your ride.
Cleaner exhaust.
Fast responding after a cold start, Volvo’s advanced emission
control eliminates between 95 and 99% of carbon monoxide,
hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides from petrol engine exhaust
gases. T he Volvo turbodiesels feature a particulate filter
that r emo ves a bout 95% of the p ar ticles from the diesel
exhaust g ase s. A ll en gin es comply with st rin gen t Euro 5
emission requirements.
Maximised fuel efficiency with diesel.
Volvo’s advanced c omm on-rail turbo die sel technology
ensures superior fuel economy and low CO2 emissions, like
the new D3 with its 5.8 l/100 km and 154 g CO2per km.
Brake for energy.
Driving any of the turbodiesels, the battery is fed with extra
power every time you brake . Smar t and fuel-saving .
Fresh cabin air.
Continuously m oni toring inc omi ng air and shu tt ing o ut
carbon monoxide, ground-level ozone and nitrogen dioxide,
Volvo’s Interior Air Quality System helps ensure that t he air
you breathe in the ca r with the roof up is cleaner than that
outside when dri ving in heav y cit y traffic.
