Volvo V70 SPORT User manual

THERE’S MORE TO LIFE THAN A VOLVO. THERE’S WORK TO DO, THERE’S FUN TO
HAVE, THERE’S HIS IDEA OF FUN, THERE’S HER IDEA OF FUN, THERE’S MAKING
TIME FOR A RUN, THERE’S THE YOGA MATS WE BOUGHT, THERE’S THE LONG
WEEKEND COMING UP, THERE’S A PLACE YOU’VE NEVER BEEN, THERE’S
CHILDREN GROWING OLDER, THERE’S PARENTS BEING YOUNGER, THERE’S
FRIENDS WHO NEVER CHANGE, THERE’S THE STUFF WE NEVER USE, THERE’S THE
BOOKS YOU WANT TO READ, THERE’S THE SONGS WE HAVE TO DANCE TO,
THERE’S NEVER A DULL MOMENT, THERE’S A GIG TONIGHT. THERE’S A GAME
TOMORROW, THERE’S YESTERDAY’S NEWSPAPERS. THERE’S THINKING BIG.
THERE’S LOOKING GOOD. THERE’S DOING GOOD. THERE’S DOING THAT AND
DOING MORE. THAT’S WHY YOU DRIVE ONE.

Like you, this car brings
more to the party.
Most accommodating. That’s a fair description of the Volvo V70 and, not surprisingly,
those who own one. A marvel of contemporary luxury and utility, this car is proof
that generosity never goes out of style.
Volvo. for life

Most cars offer a pleasant
escape. This one also offers
a safe return.
State of the art technology once only found among the clouds is now
available at road level. In this case, we’re talking about the advanced
radar and video technology that monitors the vehicles driving up ahead.
If you are ever distracted or tired, the system’s ability to identify your lane
– and any stationary vehicles in your lane – can help you reach your
destination without incident. But please note: the most intelligent safety
feature in any car is the driver. Remaining alert is your responsibility.

A closer look inside your Volvo V70 will reveal some impressive on-board
intelligence (in addition to yours, of course). At speeds over 30 km/h,
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) can automatically maintain a safe
distance from the car in front of you. Collision Warning with Auto
Brake (CWAB) for highway driving can warn you if you’re too close to the
vehicle in front of you and can – if a collision can’t be avoided – activate
the brakes to help reduce the effects of a crash. On long trips, when it’s
easy to lose concentration, Driver Alert Control (DAC) can remind you
if you’re getting tired. And by continuously monitoring your car’s position
on the road, Lane Departure Warning (LDW) will alert if you weave
out of your lane without signaling.

The accelerated program
for the gifted.
There is a feeling of safety that comes with the ability to accelerate quickly.
Every Volvo engine is engineered to make that feeling last. Whichever
engine you choose for your Volvo V70, you’ll get a powerplant built with
the mandate to do more with less. Especially notable in this regard is
the new high-performance D5. This class-leading 2.4 diesel delivers
205 hp and 420 Nm of torque yet uses less fuel – thanks to the new
high-pressure fuel system with advanced Piezo injectors and sequential
twin-turbochargers (for smoother access to power throughout the rpm
range). There is even a brilliant DRIVe variant available with the lowest
C02emissions for luxury cars in this class (119 g/km).

Holds everything you love.
Even tight corners.
Friendly surroundings are not only found inside the Volvo V70. The
exceptional handling and performance characteristics of this car extract
good will from most any stretch of pavement, especially corners. The
wide stance and rigid body structure play a part, as does the sophisticated
chassis, speed-dependent rack and pinion steering, and the graceful
aerodynamics. In addition to the well-matched engines and gearboxes,
the standard traction control and available active chassis and all-wheel
drive systems reinforce the feelings of safety and agility. Clearly, this
Volvo V70 was built to please more than just the cargo.

It’s not all about you, but we’ll make an exception here.
Drive the Volvo V70 and centre stage is yours. Inside, there is nothing fussy – just clean, Scandinavian design that
manages to reduce stress and simplify the use of some very sophisticated onboard technology. The floating centre
console presents intuitive controls for the infotainment and climate systems within easy reach. The highly adjustable
seat and steering column will help you find your perfect driving position quickly and easily. Of course, nothing beats
the driver’s seat, but the other seats do try their best. Each seat is an extremely comfortable example of ergonomic
excellence – a Volvo hallmark.

Safety and comfort
in equal abundance.
The elegant simplicity of modern Scandinavian design is well represented
throughout the deluxe cabin and cargo area of the Volvo V70. Here
you’ll find more comfort for passengers, more storage for personal effects,
more cargo space for cargo, and more of what we’re known for and
proudest of – safety. Innovations include integrated two-stage child
booster-seats in combination with belt load limiters and extended Inflatable
Curtains (a world first) and laminated glass available all-around (a world
first for estates). And with Volvo’s real wood inlays and genuine leather
upholstery at hand, the luxury is also world-class.

This is one estate that can also carry a tune.
Volvo’s modern sound systems are among the best in the world – especially the Premium Sound system with Dolby®
Pro Logic®II Surround and twelve spectacular loudspeakers. The Dolby®Pro Logic®II Surround system utilises
two centre loudspeakers and sophisticated sound processing calibrated especially for the interior of the Volvo V70.
This set-up ensures that every passenger enjoys a well-balanced stereo presence regardless of seating position
– a remarkable achievement considering most passengers don’t sit in the middle.
