V70 - T5 shop manual / Door lock problem V70-XC70

I have purchased a 2001 V70 / T5 wagon recently and am interested in the possibility of obtaining the manufacturer's shop manual. I've done this in the past with all my other vehicles and have found the expenditure of $100.00 (+) more than worth the price over the life of the vehicle. I suspcet Volvo's to be more expensive though.
I do not like the Chilton's (or other after market type) shop manuals as they seem to always be "too inclusive" of all models and model years. (i.e. they will try to include more than one model year and model type) Whereas I have had considerably better luck purchasing a manufacutrer's shop manual for the specific model and model year. Recently, I asked my Volvo dealer about this and they said that the shop manual is not for sale and is only on CD ROM format (not a printed / bound version like a book) for the dealer to use. Is this true? On a different topic, I also have a problem with the doors spontaneously unlocking. It seems that this only occurs when I use the interior door lock button to lock the doors just prior to exiting the vehicle. Anybody have any suggestions?? Thanks in advance.
