Since our life began in 1927, we’ve learned a great deal about keeping people safe, through extensive testing and by researching real-life accidents. In fact, while the entire automobile industry makes use of Volvo safety concepts, we continue to develop new ones. One of the things we’ve discovered is that although safety is enhanced through the interaction of sophisticated systems, it is most importantly the product of the relationship between car and driver. This bond is where dynamic driving begins. With this in mind, we have designed a Volvo that is not only thrilling to drive, but is also safer than ever before; for people and for the environment in which they live. Maybe that’s why, even after all these years, we still find safety so VOLVO. FOR LIFE exciting. Welcome to the carmaker that never takes life for granted. If you’re not already familiar, this is the original safety-first wagon. It’s earned its position by holding on to its protective personality, while developing a new style of performance. No matter what sort of team THE VOLVO V70. you might lead, the space and versatility of this vehicle make it a vital asset. Let it play a central role in your life, and see what a beautiful PART OF THE MAIN EVENT solution the Volvo V70 can be. 4 5 Put yourself in the driver’s seat for a second. The view is panoramic. The seat embraces your body. There’s space to stretch your legs while instrumentation is close by. The smooth lines of the roomy cabin encompass an array of intuitive controls. Welcome to the front row of THE FRONT ROW the Volvo V70. < BUILT-IN NAVIGATOR* The optional Volvo Navigation System helps guide you to your destination, be it to the home of a friend in an un- familiar city or to the welcome sight of a hotel along the way. The system’s voice guidance and ergonomically designed controls help keep your attention on the road, secure in the knowledge that the road is taking you where you want to go. *Maps do not cover all areas or all routes within an area. Also, constant expansion and rebuilding of the road network mean that the digital map database is not always the latest road and traffic information. Always follow relevant regulations and road information. INTUITIVE DRIVING > Lean back and let the nearly infinite range of adjustments in the driver’s seat offer pampering support. Everything you need is perfectly placed. With both hands on the wheel, you’re in position to operate most of the car’s controls – including the audio system. 6 7 When it leaps into action you’ll appreciate the sure-footed grip. The fuel-efficient five-cylinder engine generates an abundant flow of power. The drivetrain is a synthesis of strength and precision that produces an invigorating thrust. The Volvo V70 doesn’t need an BORN TO RUN audience to perform. < ENGINE The 5-cylinder engines form the core of your driving experience, providing power on demand. Cutting-edge technology and advanced engineering result in quick acceleration, but not at the expense of fuel consumption or emissions. The engine range spans from the thrilling 300 hp R to the highly efficient 165 hp non-turbo powerplant. TRANSMISSION > The engine’s power reaches the road through a range of five or six-speed transmissions. To give you the best of both worlds, the Geartronic automatic transmission offers you the convenience of a fully automatic ride, or lets you shift through the gears manually for faster acceleration or to utilize the engine’s braking capacity. This is the original high performance wagon – the car that’s created a EXTREME category of its own. The Volvo V70 R provides thoroughbred performance while sacrificing none of the lifestyle embracing qualities you expect from PERFORMANCE CAPABILITY a Volvo. To find out more, see the Volvo R brochure. 10 11 One thing the Volvo V70’s preventive safety won’t prevent is driving pleasure. Take the solid chassis for example. Its rigid structure helps absorb the forces that are the natural result of a spirited drive down a winding road. At times like this, you’ll also appreciate the attentive steering, and STC or DSTC, with the advanced technology to help keep STIMULATING SAFETY you on track. ACTIVE STABILITY SYSTEM STC (Stability and Traction Control) is an anti-spin system that improves traction in slippery situations by temporarily reducing engine torque. The enhanced version, DSTC (Dynamic Stability and Traction Control) also features an anti-skid function that brakes one or more of the wheels to help keep the car on course. Both systems react smoothly, efficiently, and instantaneously. For sportier driving or when driving in snow or sand, the anti-spin function can be reduced by the simple press of a button. ANTI-LOCKING BRAKES WITH EBA Designed to handle even the toughest tests, the power of ABS will not fade away when it’s needed most. So you can put your foot down as you steer clear of trouble. And if you don’t press the pedal hard enough, EBA (Emergency Brake Assistance) steps in with a power boost to help bring the car to a standstill in the shortest possible distance. BI-XENON As darkness descends, you will appreciate the powerful and effective low and high beam headlights. And for an even broader and longer beam of light, you can add Bi-Xenon headlights. Integrated front and rear side-marker lights make it easier for other road-users approaching from the side to see your car. 12 13 Like its siblings, the Volvo V70 was conceived in the Volvo Safety Centre. One of the most advanced facilities of its kind, this is where we crash test every model we make. Above and beyond countless computer simulations, we conduct over 400 full-scale collisions each year. These tests are based on what our researchers discover on the roads – we’ve investigated over 30,000 actual accidents since 1970. In fact, everything we do to make cars safer begins, and ends with real-life traffic situations. The Volvo V70 is testimony to this funda- REAL-LIFE EXPERIENCE mental philosophy.

WHIPS (WHIPLASH PROTECTION SYSTEM) Whiplash is one of the most common traffic injuries, often resulting from low-speed rear impacts. WHIPS helps reduce the risk of long-term whiplash injuries. Integrated into the front seat backrests, WHIPS supports the spine and neck in a controlled manner, and is triggered by impacts of sufficient force from behind. IC AND SIPS The inflatable curtain (IC), and a laterally mounted airbag – part of the Side Impact Protection System. These are further examples of the car’s inherent safety systems developed at the Volvo Safety Centre in Sweden. 14 15 INTUITIVE REFLEXES If a collision is unavoidable, a series of safety systems ORGANIC SAFETY interact. Together with the airbag, the front seat belt pre- tensioners provide a two-phase response to help embrace the driver and front seat passenger during the course of a collision. The severity of the impact determines the level of airbag inflation. BRIGHT EYES Effective headlights and optional integrated high-pressure washers assure a powerful beam to help improve your night vision. For an even stronger, more focused beam of light, opt for Bi-Xenon headlights. To help improve visibility in bad weather, the door mirrors come with a water-repellant coat- ing, and the optional rain sensor automatically starts the windshield wipers whenever they’re needed. RESILIENT FRAME The robust safety cage is an extremely rigid construction intended to form an enclosure around the occupants of the car. It is surrounded by the body’s various deformation zones — resilient areas designed to help absorb some of the forces generated in a collision. At Volvo, providing for your personal safety is a natural extension of our devotion to your driving safety. And so, a number of critical features have PERSONAL SECURITY been added to the Volvo V70 to help you avoid threatening situations. The V70 expands the scope of personal protection. Approach and Home Safe lighting – press the panic button in the remote control and the alarm is sounded. For an even with ground lighting in the outer side view mirrors illuminates the area around the car higher level of personal safety you can add the HomeLink remote garage door opener and allows greater safety when approaching or departing the vehicle.
