Volvo 2003 XC70 Owner's Manual - Shift Positions

2003 VOLVO XC70

WARNING! 

●     

Always place the gear selector in Park and apply the parking brake before leaving the vehicle. 

Never leave the car unattended with the engine running. 

●     

Always open garage doors fully before starting the engine inside a garage to ensure adequate 

ventilation. The exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, which is invisible and odorless but very 

poisonous. 

●     

An extra mat on the driver's floor can cause the accelerator pedal and the clutch to catch. Check 

that the movement of the accelerator pedal and clutch is not impeded. Not more than one protective 

floor covering may be used at one time.

Shift positions

Depress the clutch pedal completely when changing gears*.

Remove your foot from the clutch pedal while driving. The shift pattern should be followed. Overdrive 

(5th gear) should be used as often as possible to help improve fuel economy. This gear should be 

engaged at speeds above approx. 50 mph (80 km/h).
