Installing the sensors

Installing the sensors

Applies to the V70

• Pre-drill the holes through the centre of the markings (1). Use a Ø3 mm (1/8”) diameter drill bit. Drill from the inside of the bumper cover.

• Drill out the hole. Use a Ø8.5 mm (21/64”) diameter drill bit.

Applies to the XC70

Illustration A

• Measure out for locating the outer sensors, from the existing markings on the inside of the skid plate.

  
  

  Note! When measuring, use a flexible measuring tool that follows the form of the bumper cover.

  
  

• Measure 86 mm (3 3/8”) from the underside of the plastic catch (1) and straight down. Mark this point. Following which, draw a straight line from the centre of the existing marking to the point just marked.

• Measure 478 mm (18 13/16”) from the centre of the existing marking along the line, and mark there for the sensor's position. Carry this out on the right and left-hand sides of the bumper.

• Pre-drill the holes in the two points marked in the bumper cover, and in the two existing markings in the skid plate, using a Ø3 mm (1/8”) diameter drill bit.

• Drill out the four holes. Use a Ø8.5 mm (21/64”) diameter drill bit.

Illustration B

Removing the skid plate

• Drill out the 4 x rivets

• Remove the 10 x hooks (4)

• Remove the splash guard.

• Enlarge the holes in the bumper cover. Use a Ø31 mm (17/32”) diameter hole cutter (P/N 9814069).

• Clean the inside of the bumper cover using a mild soap solution.

• Clean around the holes and their inner edges with a cleaning cloth (P/N 9192678). Allow to dry.

• Apply a thin layer of activator (P/N 8637076) on the cleaned surfaces. Allow to dry.

Applies to the V70

• Clean the sensor surface (1) on the sensors, and the surfaces (2) and (3) on the sensor holders. Use a cleaning cloth. Allow to dry.

• Apply a thin layer of activator on the cleaned surfaces. Allow to dry.

Applies to the XC70

• Clean the surface (3) on the sensor holders. Use a cleaning cloth. Allow to dry.

  
  

  Note! XC70 must not have painted sensors.

  
  

• Apply a thin layer of activator on the cleaned surfaces. Allow to dry.

• Remove the yellow protective film from one side of the tape

• Secure the tape on the sensor holder

• Carry out the above procedure on the remaining three sensor holders.

Applies to the XC70

• Cut to the sensor holder collar so that the holder can be installed on the inside of the bumper in the enlarged hole.

Applies to all models

• Remove the orange protective film from the pieces of tape on the sensor holders

• Install the holders for the sensors. The narrow side must be pointing upward. Install horizontally in line with the bumper casing, as illustrated.

Illustration A

• Use assembly tools and blind rivets with spacers from a separate kit.

Illustration B

• Attach the skid plate to the bumper cover.

• Install the four blind rivets.

• Connect the cable harness connectors to the sensors.

  
  

  Note! A click should be heard when connecting. The noise confirms that the catch has locked.

  
  

• Install the sensors in the holders.

• Reinstall the foam rubber and plastic on the inside of the bumper

• Pull through the sensor cable and secure it in the in position along the plastic

• Press the sensor cable into the protruding guide (1) on the left-hand side of the bumper cover.

Applies to the XC70

• Cut away approx. 10 mm on the outer corners of the rear section and foam to make space for the sensors.

Only applies to the V70

• Position the bumper so that sensors can be painted. Ensure that backing paper covers the area around the sensor holes.

• Paint the sensors and holders using the same colour code paint as the car. Use paint recommended by Volvo. Apply a maximum of two coats.

• When the paint has dried, remove the backing paper.

• Lift the bumper into position

Applies to cars with lining mats with four perforations

• Install the rubber tabs from the kit over the 4 x installed screws as follows:

• Align the rubber tabs (1, 4) edge to edge with the lining mat. If necessary, cut away the area (1) around the nut so that the nut is accessible

• Compress the rubber tab (2) slightly to align in the cut-out

• Align the rubber tab (3) so that the lower edge is edge to edge with the lining mat. Cut off the section protruding over the lining mat. Do not cut off too much

• Make a cut using a knife in the rubber tab (4). This is so that the cable harness for the sensor can be inserted.

Applies to cars with lining mats with one perforation

• Install a new lining mat.

Applies to all models

• Reinstall the antenna connector

Installing, parking assistance module (PAM)

Installing, parking assistance module (PAM)

• Take the parking assistance module (PAM) from the kit. Connect the existing connector which is taped under the left hand rear lamp to the control module.

• Connect the cable harness for the sensors, previously routed, to the control module.

• Clean the vertical panel surface under the member where the control module will be located. Use a mixture of 30% windscreen washer fluid and 70% water

• Apply activator to the panel surface under the member

• Allow the activator to dry completely, for at least 10 minutes.

• Remove the backing from the tape on the Velcro strap for the control module. Secure the control module to the activator covered panel surface below the member

• Press the tape on the Velcro strap hard so that the adhesive bonds.
