My Volvo V70 automatically locks the doors once the speed reaches about
5mph. Does any body know how to turn this option off? These things usually
involve something like 'open the door twice, turn on ignition, open door
twice'.
thanks

To turn it off, you take your car to volvo and they plug it in the computer
and chanche the configuration

Sure...and it'll cost you about $100.00 U.S. to have it done. Auto door
locking is about the only option that mine doesn't have because I didn't
have the dealer install it. I wish I did. I'm only keeping the damned
lemon for about anothe ten months, then going to something American
that's better with a V-8 without those stupid rubber timing belts.

So why should I take time out to drive to a Volvo dealer and back; probably
half a day, pay lots of money, when for many cars changing the options it
something the owner can do in minutes?
And incidentally, at the last service I did ask the dealer to disable the
automatic locking. They returned the car unchanged - they didn't know how
to.
Anybody got a better idea?

Ummm... almost EVERY car for the past 20 years has had timing belts, unless
of course you put in those real dirty pushrod low tech low power gas hogs
that come out of the US.. can anyone say PISTON SLAP (when cold?!?!, the
famous 3.8L GM). All Toyotas for the longest time had timing belts.

For the longest time, no one could make a high revving engine with quiet
chains.

I have a Volvo with chains.

Toyota has gone back to chain (for the most part).

My '88 Saab has a chain, real glad it does too since the belts are on
the firewall end, which is a real pain, but then again the clutch is
right out on the nose behind the radiator where it can be changed in
about an hour so you win some, you lose some. I've got no problem with
timing belts, but I really do think interference engines should have a
chain.
 
i don´t know what they charching i the us. but here in sweden we do it for
if i re calculate it to us about $25 U.S
i don´t belive it can be done any other way its written in the memory of the
ddm (driver door module) if i rememberd right
i cant say for sure.
