Volvo Service Organization

To get the most out of the invested capital represented by a car, it must be looked after and serviced regularly. Volvo has gone to a great deal of trouble in the design and selection of material to ensure that the car in question only requires a minimum of servicing. We rely, however, on your co-operation with regard to the future maintenance of your vehicle. To help you with this, Volvo has built up a world-wide service organization. All Volvo dealers have specially trained personnel and receive a continuous supply of technical information from the Volvo Service Organization concerning repairs and adjustments. They also have special tools, designed at the Volvo factory. Moreover, all Volvo dealers have a comprehensive stock of parts which is a guarantee that the part you get is genuine Volvo. That is why our dealers are in the best possible position to give your vehicle first-class service concerning both maintenance operations and repairs.

http://new.volvocars.com/ownersdocs/1975/1975%20164/75164_00.htm (3 sur 4) [2013-03-14 11:37:38]

1975 Volvo 164

You should also refer to your dealer for any information about your Volvo that is not included in this manual. Volvo not only has a workshop within easy reach in your own country, it also has a widely distributed service network in other countries.

Warranty and maintenance Record book

A Warranty and maintenance Record book accompanies each vehicle when it is delivered. This booklet contains a coupon entitling you to a service inspection after 1500 miles (2500 km). If possible let the dealer who supplied the vehicle make this service inspection. Any of our dealers, however, can do this if required. If our guarantee is to apply, we make one absolute condition and that is that the above-mentioned inspection is made at roughly the mileage shown and that the vehicle has been looked after in accordance with the instructions given in this manual.

Service Maintenance After the 1500 miles (2500 km) service inspection has been made you should come to some arrangement with your dealer concerning continued, regular service maintenance in accordance with the suggestions made in our Warranty and Maintenance Record book. Thorough and regular

servicing is of vital importance for the performance and length of life of the vehicle.

Always use genuine Volvo parts.

D Parking brake warning light

This light gives a steady, red light when the ignition is on and the parking brake applied.

F Brake circuit warning light

This light gives a steady red light should a failure arise in one of the brake circuits. If the light goes on during driving, the car should be driven to a workshop to check the brake system.

Observe due care when driving under these conditions.

When the ignition is switched on, the light should go on and then out again when the engine starts.

H Oil pressure warning light

This lights red when the engine oil pressure is too low. When the ignition is switched on, the light should go on and then go out again when the engine starts. Never start driving until the light goes out. If the light goes on during driving, stop the engine and find out the reason for this. In most cases it means that the oil level is too low. After hard driving it may happen that the warning light comes on when the engine is idling. This is normal providing it goes out again when engine speed is increased.

pg. 7 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

I Warning light, battery charging

This lights red when the battery is discharging. Should it light during driving, either there is some fault in the electrical system or the fan belt is not sufficiently tensioned and is thus slipping on the alternator pulley, causing poor charging. When the ignition is switched on, the light should go on and then out again when the engine starts.

J Trip odometer

The trip odometer measures distances of up to maximum 999 miles. The window furthest to the right shows tenths of a mile and is therefore useful for measuring short distances.

http://new.volvocars.com/ownersdocs/1975/1975%20164/75164_01.htm (4 sur 30) [2013-03-14 11:38:16]

1975 Volvo 164

K Trip odometer reset knob

The trip odometer is reset to zero by pushing in the knob.

L Reminder light, EGR-service

If the vehicle is equipped with an EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) 15000 mile service reminder light, as required by the U.S. environmental protection agency, the light will come on at 15000 mile intervals. This is a reminder to take your Volvo to your Volvo dealer to get the EGR valve serviced. The light will stay on until it is reset by your Volvo dealer.

M Tachometer

The tachometer indicates the engine speed per minute. The amber-colored area between 5500 and 6000 rpm covers a temporary speed range and can be used, for example, for rapid acceleration. The speed range 6000-7000 rpm is marked in solid red and must not be used.

N Bulb Integrity Sensor warning light

The light gives a steady yellow light should any of the bulbs for lower beam, tail light or license light go out. If any one of the stop lights is out, the warning light comes on when the brake pedal is applied. The light comes on when the ignition is switched on and goes out when the engine starts.

0 Coolant temperature gauge

The temperature gauge shows the temperature of the coolant and thus indicates the working temperature of the engine. The gauge pointer should normally remain within the green sector. During town driving and idling when the weather is particularly warm, the temperature gauge pointer may enter the solid amber-colored field.

http://new.volvocars.com/ownersdocs/1975/1975%20164/75164_01.htm (5 sur 30) [2013-03-14 11:38:16]

1975 Volvo 164

Should the pointer repeatedly point to the red field, coolant and fan belt tension should be checked.

pg. 8 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

P Warning lamp, overdrive

The lamp gives a steady green light when the overdrive is engaged. Concerning engaging and disengaging overdrive, see

page 23.

R Fuel gauge

The fuel gauge is graduated "full", "half", "reserve", and "empty". The red field between "reserve" and "empty" is a reminder that the tank should be filled. When the gauge pointer is on "reserve", there are approx. 2 1/2 US galls/2 Imp. galls (8 liters) in the tank. The gauge pointer registers when the ignition is switched on.

Clock (9)

The clock is operated electrically. To reset it, push in the re-setting knob and turn the hands.

Hood release handle (14)

The hood is released by pulling out the handle situated to the extreme left under the dash. This releases the hood which is still held by the safety latch.

pg. 9 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The hood is opened by inserting the fingers under the front edge and pressing up the latch as shown in the picture. Check that it shuts properly when closed. The location of the hood when closed can be adjusted if necessary by screwing in or out the rubber plugs underneath the hood at the front end and on the fenders below the windshield.

1975 Volvo 164

Combined ignition switch and steering wheel lock (6)

The switch has four positions: (0) Locking, (1) Intermediate, (2) Driving and (3) Starting. The key can be taken out of the lock only in the Locking position. The ignition switch is provided with a buzzer to remind the driver should he forget to remove the ignition key when his door is opened. Removing the key automatically locks the steering wheel. With the key in the intermediate position, the steering wheel is not locked and some electrical components are switched on. To start the engine, turn the key to the Starting position. This engages the starter motor. As soon as the engine starts, release the key which automatically returns to the

Driving position.

Note: If this vehicle is equipped with an ignition interlock system as required by US Safety Standards,

the engine cannot be started unless the driver and front seat passenger have fastened their seat belts. Because of a special sequencing circuit in the belt interlock control, the seat belts must be fastened after the occupant is seated and before the key is turned to the starting position. If the proper sequence is not followed, the seat belt reminder light and buzzer are actuated and the engine will not start (see Engine Starting Instructions on

page 22).

If the car is parked in such a way as to make it difficult to unlock the steering wheel, unlocking can be made easier by slightly turning the steering wheel one way and then the other.

When the ignition is switched on, but before the engine has started, the following lights will be on:

● Oil pressure warning light

● Battery charging warning light

● Bulb Integrity Sensor warning light

● Parking brake reminder light

● Brake circuit warning light

● EGR service reminder light

This is an indication that the lights function. When the engine has started, all lights should be out (except the Parking brake reminder light if the parking brake should be applied).

Windshield wiper/washer control lever (7)

The windshield wipers have two speeds. Moving the lever downwards one stage operates the wipers at normal speed. This speed is recommended for normal driving in rain or snow. Pushing the lever down fully operates the wipers at full speed. This is recommended only when driving in heavy rain or when driving at high speed in the rain. The windshield washer is switched on by moving the control lever towards the steering wheel. The washer can be used even when the wipers are not switched on. For adjustment of water jets, see page

81. The washer container is located in the engine compartment and holds approx. 6.4 qts. (5.8 liters).

Turn signal lever, dimmer and headlight flasher (15)

The lever on the left-hand side of the steering column just below the steering wheel controls turn signals, changing between upper and lower beams and headlight flasher. The lever has a stop point for lane changing. This means that with small turns of the steering wheel (when e.g., changing lanes, passing, etc.) the lever can be moved up or down to this point and kept there. The right of left signal will then start flashing. When the switch lever is released, it automatically returns to its off position.

http://new.volvocars.com/ownersdocs/1975/1975%20164/75164_01.htm (9 sur 30) [2013-03-14 11:38:16]

1975 Volvo 164

For normal turns of the steering wheel, the lever is moved past this stop point to the end position. Straightening up the steering wheel will return the lever to its off position. Switching from upper beams to lower beams and vice versa is made by moving the lever towards the steering wheel and then releasing it. Here the lighting switch (3) should be pulled fully out. The lever is also used for flashing the main beams when the headlights are not switched on. The headlight flasher is switched on by moving the lever towards the steering wheel and it remains switched on until the lever is released.

Headlight (3)

The headlights are operated by a push-pull type switch on the dashboard as well as a lever (15) on the steering column. All the lights are extinguished when the light switch is pushed fully in. Pulling it out to the half-way position, switches on the parking lights, and when it is fully out, the low or high beams are switched on, depending on the position of the lever (15). Since the lighting system is not connected across the ignition switch, the lights will function irrespective of whether the ignition key is in position or not. Your car is equipped with side marker lights. These are located on the sides of the fenders and are switched on by pulling out the switch knob for the headlamp lighting.

pg. 11 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Rheostat for instrument panel light (16)

Rotate knob clockwise to turn on panel light and counter-clockwise to dim it.

Switch for emergency warning flashers (24)

All four emergency warning lights start flashing when the lower part of the switch is pushed in. A warning lamp in the switch blinks in unison with them. This warning light is not wired across the ignition and therefore functions irrespective of whether the ignition is switched on or not. Pushing in the switch upper part cancels the flasher lights. The emergency warning lights should only be used when the car must be stopped where there is danger to other traffic. Note that regulations concerning the use of these lights may vary from place to place.

Cigarette lighter (18)

To use the cigarette lighter, push it in. The lighter releases automatically when it attains sufficient heat.

Ash tray (22)

To empty the ash tray, pull it straight out all the way while pressing down the tongue inside.

Switch for electrically heated rear window (23)

In order to obtain a clear rear view during cold and damp weather, the car is equipped with an electrically heated rear window. Heating is provided by wires on the inside of the rear window. Avoid placing anything near the wires that might damage them. Observe due care when cleaning the window inside, as rings etc may damage the wires. The heating is switched on by pushing in the lower part of the switch. This lights up a warning lamp mounted in the switch. Pushing in the upper part of the switch switches off the heating.

Switch off the heating when the rear window is clear of mist and ice in order not to overload the battery unduly.

Fresh-air control (13)

Pushing the control forwards opens fresh-air intake vents on the driver's side. Note that the fan should not be operating if cool air is desired through this intake.

Air vents (2, 8, 10, 12)

Air is supplied to the interior by means of the four air vents. Air is blown through these vents by the blower fan which is operated by switch (26). The vents can be shut off completely by turning the button in the center of each vent a 1/4 turn counter-clockwise. The vents can also be adjusted to point to any particular place in the interior. The two outer vents can even be used for demisting the front door windows.

Driver seat height

There are two levers, each with three positions, for positioning the seat front or seat back vertically. This means that also the cushion angle can be changed. When adjusting the seat up-down, check that it is securely latched.

Passenger seat height

The front passenger seat is retained by four brackets each with three positions. The positions are the same as for the driver's seat, but tools must be used to change the positions. The driver's seat has electrically heated seat cushion and seat back. The seat cushion is provided with a thermostat which cuts in when the cushion temperature is below 57°F (+ 14°C) and cuts out at 78°F (+26°C). The heater pad is energized only when the ignition is on.

pg. 16 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Seat belts

Always use the seat belt for all types of driving. Remember that it is possible even in slow city traffic to incur serious injury from sudden, unexpected stopping.

Note: If this vehicle is equipped with an Ignition Interlock System as required by U.S. Safety Standards, the engine cannot be started unless the driver and front seat passenger have fastened their seat belts. The seat belts must be fastened after the occupant is seated and before the key is turned to the starting position (see engine starting Instructions on

page 22).

There is a buzzer and a warning light on the instrument panel which remind the driver that the seat

http://new.volvocars.com/ownersdocs/1975/1975%20164/75164_01.htm (16 sur 30) [2013-03-14 11:38:16]

1975 Volvo 164

belts have to be fastened. See page 5. Your car is equipped with automatically retracting inertia seat belts.

To fasten the belt, pull out the strap slowly (with right hand for belt on left-hand side, with left hand for belt on right-hand side) to prevent the mechanism from locking. Normally the belt roller is "unlocked". The roller will lock automatically if pulled out quickly, or if the car brakes or inclines to an angle greater than 10-15° or when taking a bend rather sharply. The practical design of the belt makes it very easy to use. Place the belt with one strap over the lap and the other across the shoulder-chest and fasten it by pushing the buckle tongue into the slot of the locking device located between the front seats. A clearly audible clicking sound indicates that the belt is locked. Make sure that those parts of the belt against the body are not twisted. The belt is released from the lock by pushing in the square red button on the lock. Always make a habit of letting the belt roller pull in the belt strap when the belt is unfastened. If the belts do not retract fully, this may be due to the fact that they are twisted inside the cover casing. This is remedied by pulling out the belt fully and then allowing it to be drawn into the casing.

Note that small children (up to the age of 8-10 years) should not use the seat belts.

pg. 17 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Seat belts in rear seat The seat belts at both sides of the rear seat are also of the automatically retracting type. When

fastening these belts pull them out rather slowly to prevent them from locking before being fastened. These belts are fastened by pushing the tongue at the end of one strap into the lock on the other. To unfasten just press in the square red button.

http://new.volvocars.com/ownersdocs/1975/1975%20164/75164_01.htm (17 sur 30) [2013-03-14 11:38:16]

1975 Volvo 164

The belt in the middle of the rear seat is manually adjusted. It is fastened and unfastened in the same way as the side belts in the rear seat. To lengthen the center belt, turn the buckle and pull it out as shown in the picture. To shorten the belt pull the upper belt strap.

Maintenance

Check now and then that the bolts are secure and the belt in good condition. Use water and a detergent for cleaning.

As the seat belts lose much of their strength when exposed to violent stretching, they should be replaced after collision, even though they may appear to be undamaged. Never modify or repair

the belt on your own, but have this done by a workshop.

Doors and locks

The car is equipped with a lock and keyhole on each of the front doors.

The front doors can be locked from the outside by pressing the lock button on the window !edge down and shutting the door while holding the outside handle pulled out as shown in the picture. To lock the rear doors, push down the inside lock button. It is not necessary to keep the outside handle pulled out.

Do not leave the keys in the car.

All the doors can be locked on the inside by pressing down the lock button on the window ledge. On the front doors this lock button lifts automatically when the door is opened from the inside. On the rear doors, however, the lock button must first be pulled up before the doors can be opened from the inside.

During driving the lock buttons should not be pushed down as this would only prevent anyone from opening the door on the outside should an accident occur.

The door locks have been designed to provide maximum possible protection against freezing during the wintertime. As an extra measure, however, you should lubricate the locks regularly during very cold weather with a suitable antifreeze agent. If the lock is already frozen, be careful not to break the key in the lock. Instead, heat the key and immediately place it in the lock. This should unfreeze the lock. Should you lose the car keys, contact your nearest Volvo dealer for new ones and quote the code number of the keys which have been lost.
