2006 VOLVO V70
Information contained in the balance of the manual is extremely useful and should be read after
operating the vehicle for the first time.
The manual is structured so that it can be used for reference. For this reason, it should be kept in
the car for ready access. Do not export your Volvo to another country before investigating that
country's applicable safety and exhaust emission requirements. In some cases it may be difficult or
impossible to comply with these requirements. Modifications to the emission control system(s) may
render your Volvo not certifiable for legal operation in the U.S., Canada and other countries.
All information, illustrations and specifications contained in this manual are based on the latest
product information available at the time of publication. Please note that some vehicles may be
equipped differently, depending on special legal requirements and that optional equipment
described in this manual may not be available in all markets.
Volvo reserves the right to make model changes at any time, or to change specifications or design,
without notice and without incurring obligation.

Volvo and the environment
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
