ing a period of 40 seconds. The power
passenger's seat can only be adjusted if
the ignition key is in position I or II, or if the
engine is running.

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

G020200

Power seat memory buttons

Three different seating positions (and the posi-

seat's memory. The memory buttons are
located on the outboard side of the driver’s
seat (see the illustration).

To program (store) a seat/mirror position in
memory button 1:

Adjust the seat (and door mirrors) to the
desired position.

Press and hold down the "M" (Memory)
button.

With the "M" button depressed, press
memory button 1 to store the seat and mir-
rors' current position.

To move the seat and mirrors to the position
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.

driver's seat memory

The remote key transmitter can also be equip-
ped with an optional function that controls the
electrically operated driver's seat in the follow-
ing way:

Adjust the seat/door mirrors to the desired
position.

When you leave the car, lock it using the
remote key.

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
the position that they were in when the
doors were most recently locked with the
same remote key.

Front seats

NOTE

The memory function in the remote key
operates independently the memory func-
tion in the seat.

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 restraint

Release the head restraint by pressing the
button underneath its left side, at the base
of the support (see the illustration).

Move the head restraint until it clicks
(locks) into the upper or lower position.

04 Interior

Front seats

WARNING

After adjusting the head restraint, be sure
that it is securely locked in the new position
by pressing and/or pulling it.

Removing a head restraint

The front seat head restraints can be removed,
for example, when cleaning the upholstery or if
the front passenger's seat backrest is folded
down to accommodate a long load. To do so:

Release the head restraint by pressing the
release button underneath its left side, at
the base of the support.

While holding in the release button, press
the locking button at the base of the head
restraint's right support with a screw
driver, etc., and lift the head restraint until
it can be removed completely.

WARNING

•

If a front seat head restraint has been
removed, it must be put properly back
in place and it must lock (click) into one
of the available adjustment positions
before the seat is occupied.

•

The front seat head restraints must be
in position and properly adjusted to the
height of the person sitting in the seat
when the vehicle is driven and when the
front passenger's seat is occupied.
