THE VOLVO C70 IS DESIGNED TO MOVE YOU IN A NUMBER OF WAYS. JUST LOWER THE TOP AND
BE CARRIED AWAY BY THE BREEZE PLAYING IN YOUR HAIR, THE SCENTS AND – NOT LEAST –
THE SOUND OF AN EXQUISITE PREMIUM SOUND AUDIO SYSTEM. FEEL THE MUSIC THROUGHOUT
YOUR BODY, AND ENJOY THE PERFECT SOUND TRACK FOR A PERFECT DAY.
Experience a world-class audio system for
the truly discerning music lover. The standard
Premium Sound high-end speakers have been
specially designed for the C70 in cooperation
with Danish speaker specialists Dynaudio
– all to give you superb sound, without com-
promise. The speakers’ remarkably clear and
authentic sound even at loud volume gives you
a musical experience of absolute world class.
The ten speakers’ relaxed yet dynamic audio
reproduction across the entire range in combi-
nation with an in-dash 3-CD changer and a
separate 400 W Premium Sound amplifier
contribute to an exceptionally convincing
audio experience – you can relax and fully
enjoy the clean, crystal-clear music. If you add
Dolby Surround Pro Logic®*, you and your
front-seat passenger can enjoy a uniquely
three-dimensional sound of immense clarity
and a remarkable sense of presence – it’s like
having the best places at an outdoor concert.
And when you raise the top, sound reproduc-
tion is automatically adapted to transform your
Volvo C70 into a concert hall.

STC
ROPS
TO BE SAFE
THE VOLVO C70 IS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE COMPLETE DRIVER CONFIDENCE AND OCCUPANT PROTECTION. AN ERGONOMIC DRIVER’S
ENVIRONMENT, A WELL-BALANCED CHASSIS AND STC ANTI-SPIN SYSTEM HELP GIVE YOU CONTROL UNDER A WIDE VARIETY OF CONDITIONS.
AND SHOULD AN ACCIDENT BE UNAVOIDABLE, YOU AND YOUR PASSENGERS ARE PROVIDED ENHANCED PROTECTION BY VOLVO’S UNIQU E
SAFETY SYSTEM THAT I NCLUDES ROPS (ROLL-OVER PROTECTION SYSTEM). THE VOLVO C70 IS ONE OF THE WORLD’S MOST SAFETY-MINDED
OPEN-TOP CARS – ALLOWING YOU TO ENJOY THE EXPERIENCE TO THE FULL.
The STC (Stability and Traction Control) anti-spin system automatically ensures that
the drive wheels get just the right amount of power to retain a firm grip on the road.
STC also adds to the joy of driving by enhancing stability when cornering.
WHIPS (Whiplash Protection System) is activated in
certain types of rear-end collisions. A framework in the
seat supports the back and helps prevent the occupant
from being pressed too deeply into the backrest.
Once the entire back has been securely cradled by the
backrest, the backrest tips rearward to help reduce the
force that would otherwise throw the head forward.
The entire backrest moves rearward to help prevent
the occupant from being thrown forward by the force
of the impact. At the same time, the upper part of the
backrest moves up and forward to assist in reducing
the strain on the back and neck.
If you should find yourself in a situation in which the car is about to roll over, the
safety arches concealed in the bodywork at the rear of the car are activated within
a fraction of a second. At the same time, the seat belt pre-tensioners are activated
in all four seats, helping to keep you and your passengers restrained in the seats.

AT VOLVO, WE BELIEVE THAT IT’S THE WHOLE RATHER THAN THE
PARTS THAT DETERMINES HOW SAFE A CAR IS. THE VOLVO C70 IS
VERY MUCH THE PRODUCT OF THIS BELIEF — EVERYTHING INTER-
ACTS HARMONIOUSLY TO HELP KEEP YOU OUT OF HARM’S WAY.
PERSONAL SECURITY
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 BEEN ADDED TO THE VOLVO
C70 TO HELP YOU AVOID THREATENING SITUATIONS.
DEFORMATION ZONES
Front and rear deformation zones help
dissipate collision forces before they
can reach the passenger compartment.
COLLAPSIB LE THREE-STAGE
STEER ING COLUM N
In the event of a frontal collision, the
steering column is designed to collapse
and help prevent injuries to the driver.
SID E-IMPACT AIRBAGS
Side airbags offer enhanced head
and chest protection. They are fitted in
the outer edge of the front seat backrests, not in the doors, so that they are
always by your side.
ENERGY-ABSORBING INTERIOR
All the panels and the sides of
the doors are padded with energyabsorbing materials to help reduce
the risk of injury to the car’s
occupants.
AIR BAGS
The driver and passenger airbags
interact with the front seat belts,
pre-tensioners, and force limiters to
help protect the head, face and chest
in certain frontal or offset impacts.

WHIPS (WH IPLASH PROTECTION SYSTEM)
WHIPS helps reduce the risk of whiplash
injury by cradling the spine and neck in
a controlled way if the vehicle is hit from
behind at low speeds. It is built into the
front seats and activated by a sufficient
impact.
ROPS ROLL-OVER PROTECTION
SYSTEM
If the car rolls over, an electronic sensor
triggers the arches concealed behind
the rear seat head restraints, along with
the seat belt pre-tensioners for all four
seats. The rear arches act together with
the strongly reinforced windshield frame
to provide enhanced protection.
SEAT BELTS WITH PRE-TENSIONERS
All four seats have head restraints
and three-point seat belts with pretensioners. In a collision, the seat belts
are pulled taut to help keep passengers properly positioned. The front seat
belts then slacken slightly so that the
occupant is cushioned by the airbag
in a controlled way.
ISOFIX COM PLIANT
This attachment system ensures quick
and correct installation and removal of
safety seats for children in the rear
seat’s outboard positions.
ANTI-SUBMARINING SEATS
Front and rear seats are shaped to help
keep occupants from sliding under and
out of their seat belts during a collision.
SID E-IMPACT PROTECTION SYSTEM
(SIPS)
Volvo’s unique side-impact protection
system uses a large part of the car’s
body to absorb the force of an impact.
The system is reinforced by extremely
strong doors and a robust horseshoelike structure in the rear. The front
seat side airbags offer maximum head
and chest protection.
The C70 experience also comprises personal protection. Home Safe
lighting allows greater personal safety when departing the vehicle.
A touch of the headlight lever – and the headlights illuminate your way
for thirty seconds. An electronic immobilizer and door locks that with-
stand most break-in attempts help protect against theft. A security
PROTECTED FUE L TANK
The fuel tank is strategically placed
in front of the rear axle, which helps
protect it in the event of a rear-end
collision.
system with sensors in the doors, hood and trunk activate an alarm
if someone should ever try to break into the vehicle. And in the event
of trouble – press the panic button in the remote control and the
alarm will sound.

TO CARE
YOU CAN ENJOY THE SENSE OF FREEDOM AND FRESH AIR WITH A
CLEAN CONSCIENCE. THE VOLVO C70 UTILIZES ITS FUEL EFFICIENTLY
AND KEEPS HARMFUL EMISSIONS AT A MINIMUM. BECAUSE IT IS
QUITE SIMPLY MORE ENJOYABLE TO DRIVE A CAR THAT TAKES THE
ENVIRONMENT INTO CONSIDERATION.
FUEL ECONOMY AND EMISSIONS
High-efficiency turbo engines with sophisticated electronic engine
management reduce fuel consumption and thus also emissions of
carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. Advanced engine emission control
technology eliminates 95-98 percent of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons
and nitrogen oxides from the exhaust gases.
CLEAN ALL ITS LIFE
In the Volvo C70, environmental care is built in from the initial design
and engineering stages. All plastic components that weigh more than
1.8 oz. (50 g) are marked to facilitate sorting and recycling. In total,
approximately 85 percent of each car can be recycled. Volvo Cars’ also
provides an environmental product declaration (EPD) – a tool that helps
you choose a Volvo model on the basis of its overall environmental
impact throughout its lifetime. The environmental product declaration
can be viewed on epd.volvocars.se
CLEAN BROCHURE
At Volvo, concern for the environment is important in every aspect
of what we do. This brochure is 100 percent recyclable. The paper
is manufactured in North America utilizing the Sustainable Forestry
Initiative. No paper pulp material is harvested from old-growth forests
or rain forests, and it is chlorine-free. The inks and coatings utilized for
print are vegetable and water-based. Even the shipping cartons contain
50 percent post-consumer waste and are also 100 percent recyclable.
CONTRIB UTING TO SUSTAINABLE D EVELOPME NT
Volvo Cars aims to be a leader in corporate citizenship – ensuring a
balance between the needs of the company, its customers, society, and
future generations. Environmental responsibility is an important part
of this effort, and so too is a far-reaching undertaking to safeguard
society’s interests, in Volvo’s role as an employer and as a builder of
that society; both independently and together with other companies,
authorities and organizations. Our annual “Corporate Citizenship” report
is available on www.volvocars.com/citizenship. And to recognize and
reward ordinary Americans who go above and beyond the call of duty,
we created the Volvo for Life Awards program,
