How to Turn Off Automatic Door Locking?

    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

  3. 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.
