2004 VOLVO XC70 Volvo is committed to the well being of our customers. As a natural part of this commitment, we care about the environment in which we all live. Caring for the environment means an everyday involvement in reducing our environmental impact. Volvo's environmental activities are based on a holistic view, which means we consider the overall environmental impact of a product throughout its complete life cycle. In this context, design, production, product use, and recycling are all important considerations. In production, Volvo has partly or completely phased out several chemicals including freons, lead chromates, naphtanates, asbestos, mercury and cadmium; and reduced the amount of chemicals used in our plants 50% since 1991. In use, Volvo was the first in the world to introduce into production a three-way catalytic converter with a Lambda sond, now called oxygen sensor, in 1976. The current version of this highly efficient system reduces emissions of harmful substances (CO, HC, NOx) from the exhaust pipe by approximately 95% and the search to eliminate the remaining emissions continues. Volvo is the only automobile manufacturer to offer CFC-free retrofit kits for the air conditioning system for all models as far back as the M/Y 1975 240. Advanced electronic engine controls, refined purification systems and cleaner fuels are bringing us closer to our goal. After Volvo cars and parts have fulfilled their use, recycling is the next critical step in completing the life cycle. The metal content is about 75% of the total weight of a car, which makes the car among the most recycled industrial products. In order to have efficient and well controlled recycling, many Volvo variants have printed dismantling manuals, indicating the weight and material of individual components. For Volvo, all homogeneous plastic parts weighing more than 1.7 oz. (50 grams) are marked with international symbols that indicate how the component is to be sorted for recycling. In addition to continuous environmental refinement of conventional gasoline-powered internal combustion engines, Volvo is actively looking at advanced technology alternative-fuel vehicles. When you drive a Volvo, you become our partner in the work to lessen the car's impact on the environment. To reduce your vehicle's environmental impact, you can: ● Maintain proper air pressure in your tires. Tests have shown decreased fuel economy with improperly inflated tires ● Follow the recommended maintenance schedule in your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet. ● Drive at a constant speed ● See an authorized Volvo retailer as soon as possible for inspection if the check engine (malfunction file:///K|/ownersdocs/2004/2004_XC70/04xc70_00.htm (5 of 6)12/30/2006 4:32:53 PM

PremAir® works as a catalytic converter, converting most of the ozone passing through the radiator into oxygen, thereby reducing harmful ground-level ozone.

2004 VOLVO XC70 2 0 0 4 VOLVO XC70 Chapter 1 - Safety pg. 1 Safety Not wearing a seat belt is like believing "It'll never happen to me!" Volvo, the inventor of the three-point seat belt, urges you and all adult occupants of your car to wear seat belts and ensure that children are properly restrained, using an infant, car or booster seat determined by age, weight and height. Volvo also believes no child should sit in the front seat of a car. Fact: In every state and province, some type of child-restraint legislation has been passed. Additionally, most states and provinces have already made it mandatory for occupants of a car to use seat belts. So, urging you to "buckle up" is not just our recommendation - legislation in your state or province may mandate seat belt usage. The few seconds it takes to buckle up may one day allow you to say, "It's a good thing I was wearing my seat belt."

2004 VOLVO XC70 Stability Traction Control (STC) 20 Dynamic Stability Traction Control (DSTC) 20 pg. 2 Seat belts Seat belts Always fasten the seat belts before you drive or ride. A chime will sound several times if the driver's seat belt is not fastened. To buckle: Pull the belt out far enough to insert the latch plate into the receptacle until a distinct click is heard. The seat belt retractor is normally "unlocked" and you can move freely, provided that the shoulder belt is not pulled out too far. The retractor will lock up as follows: ● if the belt is pulled out rapidly ● during braking and acceleration ● if the vehicle is leaning excessively ● when driving in turns For the seat belt to provide maximum protection in the event of an accident, it must be worn correctly. When wearing the seat belt remember: ● The belt should not be twisted or turned. ● The lap belt must be positioned low on the hips (not pressing against the abdomen). Make sure that the shoulder belt is rolled up into its retractor and that the shoulder and lap belts are taut. The seat belts are equipped with tensioners that reduce slack in the seat belts. These tensioners are triggered in situations where the airbags deploy. The front seat belts also include a tension reducing device which, in the event of a collision, limits the peak forces exerted by the seat belt on the occupant. Before exiting the car, check that the seat belt retracts fully after being unbuckled. If necessary, guide the belt back into the retractor slot. NOTE: Legislation in your state or province may mandate seat belt usage. file:///K|/ownersdocs/2004/2004_XC70/04xc70_01a.htm (2 of 17)12/30/2006 4:32:54 PM

2004 VOLVO XC70 Adjusting shoulder belt Lap portion of the belt should sit low Child seats: Please refer to page 14 for information on securing child seats with the seat belts. During pregnancy Pregnant women should always wear seat belts. Remember that the belt should always be positioned in such a way as to avoid any possible pressure on the abdomen. The lap portion of the belt should be located low, as shown in the above illustration. pg. 3 Seat belts, Center head restraint file:///K|/ownersdocs/2004/2004_XC70/04xc70_01a.htm (3 of 17)12/30/2006 4:32:54 PM

2004 VOLVO XC70 WARNING! ● Never use a seat belt for more than one occupant. ● Never wear the shoulder portion of the belt under the arm, behind the back or otherwise out of position. Such use could cause injury in the event of an accident. ● As the seat belts lose much of their strength when exposed to violent stretching, they should be replaced after any collision, even if they appear to be undamaged. ● Never repair the belt on your own; have this work done by an authorized Volvo retailer only. ● Any device used to induce slack into the shoulder belt portion of the three-point belt system will have a detrimental effect on the amount of protection available to you in the event of a collision. ● The seat back should not be tilted too far back. The shoulder belt must be taut in order to function properly. ● Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the front passenger's seat. We also recommend that children who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with the seat belt properly fastened. Adjust head restraint height Center head restraint (rear) The center head restraint can be adjusted according to the passenger's height. The restraint should be carefully adjusted to support the occupant's head. To raise, lift up to desired position. To lower the center head restraint, press the release button behind the right-hand support while pressing down the head restraint to the desired position. file:///K|/ownersdocs/2004/2004_XC70/04xc70_01a.htm (4 of 17)12/30/2006 4:32:54 PM
