Volvo's quality covers each and every modelIn this brochure we are proud to present the 1974 Volvos. Arange of quality cars. They are the result of Volvo's continuousendeavour to offer even greater safety, comfort and economy.These cars differ of course in certain areas, but they all have thewell-known Volvo features and this year's new attractions -
one-piece side windows, heavier stronger bumpers, halogen H4headlights and much more.
It's vital that the driver sitscomfortably. The only way tounderstand just how good aVolvo is to drive, is to driveit! But the picture above willgive you some idea of thesuperb layout of instruments.The heating and ventilationcontrols are mounted on thecentre console which has
concealed illumination. Theradio can be fitted here too.The facia and the hub of thesteering wheel are safety bol-stered.New this year, a device wecall a bulb integrity sensor. Ittells you, by lighting up, ifany dipped headlight, tail
light or brake light has failed.
The space in a Volvo is wellthought out. The rear seat isideally placed and gives muchmore room than your wouldnormally get in a car of thisclass. And there is also anenormously spacious boot -it's so deep you can packyour cases handles-up.
There are two secrets in thecomfort of Volvo seats: firstthey have been designed byexperts to ensure the bestsupport for your body;second, they incorporate noless than six different rangesof adjustment. Forward and
backwards, backrest angle,head restraint height, lumbarsupport, seat height and seatcushion rake. These are alladjustable to suit you.
