Get Your driving environment -> Windows, rearview and door mirrors Guide for Volvo Xc70 SUV Third Generation (2025-2026)

03 Your driving environment

Windows, rearview and door mirrors

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.

General

Laminated glass

The glass is reinforced which pro-

vides better protection against

break-ins and improved sound insu-

lation in the passenger compartment.

The windscreen and other windows* have lami-

nated glass.

Water and dirt-repellent coating*

Windows are treated with a coating

that improves the view in difficult

weather conditions. Maintenance, see

page 357.

IMPORTANT

Do not use a metal ice scraper to remove ice

from the windows. Use the defroster to

remove ice from the mirrors, see

page 102.

Heat-reflecting windscreen*

Areas where IR film is not applied.

Dimensions

A 47 mm

B 87 mm

The windscreen is equipped with a heat-

reflecting film (IR) that reduces the solar heat

radiation into the passenger compartment.

The positioning of electronic equipment, such

as a transponder, behind a glass surface with

heat-reflecting film may affect its function and

performance.

For the optimal function of electronic equip-

ment, it should be positioned on the part of the

windscreen with no heat-reflecting film (see the

highlighted area in the above illustration).

Power windows

Driver's door control panel.

Switch for electric child safety locks* and

disengaging rear power window buttons,

see page 63.

WARNING

Check that none of the rear seat passengers

is in danger of becoming trapped in any way

when closing the windows from the driver's

door.

WARNING

Make sure that children or other passengers

are not in danger of becoming trapped in

any way when closing the windows, in par-

ticular when the remote control key is used.

WARNING

If there are children in the car - remember to

always switch off the power supply to the

power windows by selecting key position 0

and then take the remote control key with

you when leaving the car. For information on

key positions - see page 79.

Operating

Operating the power windows.

Operating without auto

Operating with auto

All power windows can be operated using the

control panel for the driver's door - the control

panels for the other doors can only each oper-

ate their respective power window. Only one

control panel can be operated at a time.

In order for the power windows to be used the

key position must be at least I - see page 78.

The power windows can be operated for a few

minutes after the engine has been switched off

and after the remote control key has been

removed - although not after a door has been

opened.

Closing of the windows is stopped and the

window is opened if anything prevents its

movement. It is possible to force the pinch pro-

tection when closing has been interrupted, e.g.

with ice, by continuously holding the button up

until the window is closed. The pinch protec-

tion is reactivated after a brief pause.

NOTE

One way to reduce the pulsating wind noise

when the rear windows are open is to also

open the front windows slightly.

Operating without auto

Move one of the controls up/down gently. The

power windows move up/down as long as the

control is held in position.

Operating with auto

Move one of the controls up/down to the end

position and release it. The window runs auto-

matically to its end position.

Operating with the remote control key

and central locking

To remotely operate the power windows from

the outside with the remote control key or from

inside with central locking, see pages 47 and
