What's up ewveryone? Pretty excited to be a part of this community. This is my first Volvo and so far the 24 hours i've owned her I LOVE it. She's a 1998 S70 GLT. I've been involved in the German auto world my whole driving life, and am pretty excited to be mixed in with a new crowd (not that there was ANYthing wrong with my German buddies or rides) Anywho, I look forward to getting to know you guys and hope to make some new friends. Thanks all!

Hi Nikki, welcome to VolvoForums. We have a S70 GLT as well and do enjoy driving it.

 

Thanks! I actually have a question about my S70. What does the S W E buttons do that are right below the shifter?

 

They control how the computer and tranny responds.

W = will inform the car to start in 3rd gear to reduce torque and help the car get better traction in the snow.
E = Helps the car get better gas mileage but causing it to shift faster and limit engine rev's for throttle positions less than 100%.
S = Causes the car to respond sportier. Shift later, downshift faster, etc.

 

That's awesome! Thanks for the info.

 

Thanks Luciana

 

Having problems with my 2001 Volvo V70. 260,000 kilometers on her. Not ready to give up on her yet. But getting frustrated!

 

Welcome to the forum.
