Owner information

Your car is equipped with a screen where you
can find information about how your car
works (applies to certain car models). For cars
with owner information in the screen, the prin­ted owner's manual is a supplement and con­tains important text, the latest updates, as
well as instructions that can be useful when,
for practical reasons, you are unable to read
the information on the screen.

Changing the screen's language may mean
that certain information is no longer in
accordance with national or local laws and
regulations.

IMPORTANT

The driver is always responsible that the
vehicle is driven safely in traffic and that
applicable laws and regulations are fol­lowed. It is also important that the car is
maintained and handled in accordance
with Volvo's recommendations in the
owner's information.

If there should be a difference between the
information on the screen and in the prin­ted manual then it is always the printed
information that applies.

Reading the owner's manual

A good way of getting to know your new car
is to read the owner's manual, ideally before
your first journey. This will give you the oppor­tunity to familiarise yourself with new func­tions, to see how best to handle the car in dif­ferent situations, and to make the best use of
all the car's features. Please pay attention to
the safety instructions contained in the man­ual.

The specifications, design features and illus­trations in the owner's manual are not bind­ing. We reserve the right to make modifica­tions without prior notice.

Volvo Car Corporation

Owner's Manual in mobile devices

NOTE

The owner's manual is available for down­load as a mobile application (applies for
certain car models and mobile devices),
see www.volvocars.com.

The mobile application also includes video
and searchable content and easy naviga­tion between different sections.

Options/accessories

All types of option/accessory are marked with
an asterisk*.

In addition to standard equipment, the
owner's manual also describes options (fac­tory fitted equipment) and certain accessories
(retrofitted extra equipment).

The equipment described in the owner's
manual is not available in all cars - they have
different equipment depending on adapta­tions for the needs of different markets and
national or local laws and regulations.

In the event of uncertainty over what is stand­ard or an option/accessory, contact a Volvo
dealer.

Special texts

WARNING

Warning texts appear if there is a risk of
injury.

||

01 Introduction

14

IMPORTANT

"Important" texts appear if there is a risk of
damage.

NOTE

NOTE texts give advice or tips that facili­tate the use of e.g. features and functions.

Footnote

There is footnote information in the owner's
manual that is located at the bottom of the
page. This information is an addition to the
text that it refers to via a number. If the foot­note refers to text in a table then letters are
used instead of numbers for referral.

Message texts

There are displays in the car that show text
messages. These text messages are high­lighted in the owner's manual by means of
the text being slightly larger and printed in
grey. Examples of this are in menu texts and
message texts on the information display
(e.g.

Audio settings).

Decals

The car contains different types of decal
which are designed to convey important
information in a simple and clear manner. The
decals in the car have the following descend­ing degree of importance for the warning/
information.

Warning for personal injury

G031590

Black ISO symbols on yellow warning field,
white text/image on black message field.
Used to indicate the presence of danger
which, if the warning is ignored, may result in
serious personal injury or fatality.

Risk of property damage

G031592

White ISO symbols and white text/image on
black or blue warning field and message field.
Used to indicate the presence of danger
which, if the warning is ignored, may result in
damage to property.

01 Introduction

Information

G031593

White ISO symbols and white text/image on
black message field.

NOTE

It is not intended that the decals illustrated
in the owner's manual should be exact
replicas of those in the car. They are
included to show their approximate
appearance and location in the car. The
information that applies to your particular
car is available on the respective decals
for your car.

Procedure lists

Procedures where action must be taken in a
certain sequence are numbered in the
owner's manual.

When there is a series of illustrations for
step-by-step instructions each step is
numbered in the same way as the corres­ponding illustration.

There are numbered lists with letters
adjacent to the series of illustrations
where the order of the instructions is not
significant.

Arrows appear numbered and unnum­bered and are used to illustrate a move­ment.

Arrows with letters are used to clarify a
movement when the reciprocal order is of
no relevance.

If there is no series of illustrations for step-by­step instructions then the different steps are
numbered with normal numbers.

Position lists

Red circles containing a number are used
in overview images where different com­ponents are pointed out. The number
recurs in the position list featured in con­nection with the illustration that describes
the item.

Bulleted lists

A bulleted list is used when there is a list of
points in the owner's manual.

Example:

•

Coolant

•

Engine oil

Related information

Related information refers to other sections
containing related information.

Images

The manual's images are sometimes sche­matic and may deviate from the car's appear­ance depending on equipment level and mar­ket.

Recording data

Certain information about the vehicle's opera­tion and functionality, and any incidents, are
recorded in the car.

Your vehicle contains a number of computers
whose function is to continuously check and
monitor the vehicle's operation and function­ality. Some of the computers can record
information during normal driving if they
detect an error. In addition, information is
recorded in the event of a collision or inci­dent. Parts of the recorded information are
required so that technicians can diagnose
and rectify faults in the vehicle during servic­ing and maintenance and so that Volvo can
fulfil legal requirements and other regulations.
In addition to this, the information is used for
research purposes by Volvo in order to con­tinually develop quality and safety, as the
information can contribute to a better under­standing of the factors that cause accidents
and injuries. The information includes details
of the status and functionality of various sys­tems and modules in the vehicle with regard
to engine, throttle, steering and brake sys­tems, amongst other things. This information
may include details regarding the way the
driver drives the vehicle, such as vehicle
speed, brake and accelerator pedal use,
steering wheel movement and whether or not
the driver and passengers have used their
seatbelts. For the reasons given this informa­tion may be stored in the vehicle's computers

for a certain length of time, but also as a
result of a collision or incident. This informa­tion may be stored by Volvo as long as it can
help to further develop and further enhance
safety and quality and as long as there are
legal requirements and other regulations that
Volvo needs to consider.

Volvo will not contribute to the above-descri­bed information being disclosed to third par­ties without the vehicle owner's consent.
However, due to national legislation and reg­ulations Volvo may be required to disclose
such information to authorities such as police
authorities, or others who may assert a legal
right to have access to it.

To be able to read and interpret the informa­tion recorded by the computers in the vehicle
requires special technical equipment that
Volvo, and workshops that have entered into
agreements with Volvo, have access to. Volvo
is responsible that the information, which is
transferred to Volvo during servicing and
maintenance, is stored and handled in a
secure manner and that the handling com­plies with applicable legal requirements. For
further information - contact a Volvo dealer.

Accessories and extra equipment

The incorrect connection and installation of
accessories and extra equipment can nega­tively affect the car's electronic system.

Certain accessories only function when asso­ciated software is installed in the car's com­puter system. Volvo therefore recommends
that you always contact an authorised Volvo
workshop before installing accessories or
extra equipment which are connected to or
affect the electrical system.

Volvo Cars' environmental philosophy

Your Volvo complies with strict international
environmental standards and is also manufac-

tured in one of the cleanest and most
resource-efficient plants in the world.

G000000

Environmental care is one of Volvo Car Cor­poration's core values which influence all
operations. We also believe that our custom­ers share our consideration for the environ­ment.

Your Volvo complies with strict international
environmental standards and is also manu­factured in one of the cleanest and most
resource-efficient plants in the world. Volvo
Car Corporation has global ISO certification,
which includes the environmental standard
ISO 14001 covering all factories and several
of our other units. We also set requirements

for our partners so that they work systemati­cally with environmental issues.

Fuel consumption

Volvo cars have competitive fuel consump­tion in each of their respective classes. Lower
fuel consumption generally results in lower
emission of the greenhouse gas, carbon diox­ide.

It is possible for the driver to influence fuel
consumption. For more information read
under the heading, Reducing environmental

impact.

Efficient emission control

Your Volvo is manufactured following the
concept "Clean inside and out" – a concept
that encompasses a clean interior environ­ment as well as highly efficient emission con­trol. In many cases the exhaust emissions are
well below the applicable standards.

Clean air in the passenger compartment

A passenger compartment filter prevents dust
and pollen from entering the passenger com­partment via the air intake.

||

01 Introduction

01

22

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.

A sophisticated air quality system, IAQS*
(Interior Air Quality System) ensures that the
incoming air is cleaner than the air in the traf­fic outside.

The system consists of an electronic sensor
and a carbon filter. The incoming air is moni­tored continuously and if there is an increase
in the level of certain unhealthy gases such as
carbon monoxide then the air intake is
closed. Such a situation may arise in heavy
traffic, queues and tunnels for example.

The entry of nitrous oxides, ground-level
ozone and hydrocarbons is prevented by the
carbon filter.

Interior

The interior of a Volvo is designed to be plea­sant and comfortable, even for people with
contact allergies and for asthma sufferers.
Extreme attention has been given to choosing
environmentally-compatible materials.

Volvo workshops and the environment

Regular maintenance creates the conditions
for a long service life and low fuel consump­tion for your car. In this way you contribute to
a cleaner environment. When Volvo's work­shops are entrusted with the service and
maintenance of your car it becomes part of
our system. Volvo makes clear demands
regarding the way in which our workshops
are designed in order to prevent spills and
discharges into the environment. Our work­shop staff have the knowledge and the tools

required to guarantee good environmental
care.

Reducing environmental impact

You can easily help reduce environmental
impact - here are a few tips:

•

Avoid letting the engine idle - switch off
the engine when stationary for longer
periods. Pay attention to local regula­tions.

•

Drive economically - think ahead.

•

Perform service and maintenance in
accordance with the owner's manual's
instructions - follow the intervals recom­mended in the Service and Warranty
Booklet.

•

If the car is equipped with an engine
block heater*, use it before starting from
cold - it improves starting capacity and
reduces wear in cold weather and the
engine reaches normal operating tem­perature more quickly, which lowers con­sumption and reduces emissions.

•

High speed increases consumption con­siderably due to increased wind resis­tance - a doubling of speed increases
wind resistance 4 times.

•

Always dispose of environmentally hazar­dous waste, such as batteries and oils, in
an environmentally safe manner. Consult
a workshop in the event of uncertainty
about how this type of waste should be
discarded - an authorised Volvo work­shop is recommended.

Following this advice can save money, the
planet's resources are saved, and the car's
durability is extended. For more information
and further advice, see Eco guide (p. 63),
Economical driving (p. 295) and Fuel con­sumption (p. 404).

Recycling

As a part of Volvo's environmental work, it is
important that the car is recycled in an envi­ronmentally sound manner. Almost all of the
car can be recycled. The last owner of the car
is therefore requested to contact a dealer for
referral to a certified/approved recycling
facility.

General information on seatbelts

Heavy braking can have serious consequen­ces if the seatbelts are not used. Ensure that
all passengers are using their seatbelts during
the journey.

Tension the hip strap over the lap by pulling the
diagonal shoulder belt up towards the shoulder.
The hip strap must be positioned low down (not
over the abdomen).

It is important that the seatbelt lies against
the body so it can provide maximum protec­tion. Do not lean the backrest too far back.
The seatbelt is designed to protect in a nor­mal seating position.

Unbelted occupants will be reminded to fas­ten their (p. 26) seatbelt by means of an
audio and visual reminder (p. 27).

Remember

•

Do not use clips or anything else that can
prevent the seatbelt from fitting properly.

•

The seatbelt must not be twisted or
caught on anything.

WARNING

The seatbelts and airbags interact. If a
seatbelt is not used or is used incorrectly,
this may diminish the protection provided
by the airbag in the event of a collision.

WARNING

Each seatbelt is designed for only one per­son.

WARNING

Never modify or repair the seatbelts your­self. Volvo recommends that you contact
an authorised Volvo workshop.

If a seatbelt has been subjected to a major
load, such as in conjunction with a colli­sion, the entire seatbelt must be replaced.
Some of the protective characteristics of
the seatbelt may have been lost, even if it
appears to be undamaged. In addition,
replace the seatbelt if the belt is worn or
damaged. The new seatbelt must be type­approved and intended for installation in
the same position as the replaced seatbelt.

Seatbelt - pregnancy

Seatbelt (p. 25) must always be worn during
pregnancy. But it is crucial that it be worn in
the correct way.

G020998

The diagonal section should wrap over the
shoulder then be routed between the breasts
and to the side of the abdomen.

The lap section should lay flat over the thighs
and as low as possible under the abdomen. –
It must never be allowed to ride upward.
Remove the slack from the seatbelt and
ensure that it fits as close to the body as pos­sible. In addition, check that there are no
twists in the seatbelt.

As the pregnancy progresses, pregnant dri­vers must adjust the seat (p. 76) and steer­ing wheel (p. 79) such that they can easily
maintain control of the vehicle as they drive
(which means that they must be able to easily
operate the foot pedals and steering wheel).

The aim should be to position the seat with as
large a distance as possible between abdo­men and steering wheel.

Rear seat

The seatbelt reminder in the rear seat has two
subfunctions:

•

Provides information on which seatbelts
(p. 25) are being used in the rear seat. A
message appears in the combined instru­ment panel when the seatbelts are in use,
or if one of the rear doors has been
opened. The message is cleared auto-

matically after driving for approximately
30 seconds or after pressing the indicator
stalk OK button (p. 105).

•

Provides a warning if one of the rear seat­belts is unfastened during travel. This
warning takes the form of a message in
the combined instrument panel along with
the audio/visual signal. The warning stops
when the seatbelt is re-fastened, or it can
also be acknowledged manually by
pressing the OK button.

The message in the combined instrument
panel showing which seatbelts are in use is
always shown. Press the OK button to see
stored messages.

Certain markets

An acoustic signal and indicator lamp remind
the driver and front seat passenger to use a
seatbelt if either of them is not wearing one.
At low speed, the audible reminder will sound
for the first 6 seconds.

Seatbelt tensioner

All the seatbelts (p. 25) are equipped with belt
tensioners. A mechanism in the seatbelt ten­sioner tightens the seatbelt in the event of a
sufficiently violent collision. The seatbelt then
provides more effective restraint for the occu­pants.

WARNING

Never insert the tongue of the passenger's
seatbelt into the buckle on the driver's
side. Always insert the tongue of the seat­belt into the buckle on the correct side. Do
not make any damages on seatbelts nor
insert any foreign objects into a buckle.
The seatbelts and buckles would then
possibly not function as intended in the
event of a collision. There is a risk of
serous injury.

Safety - warning symbol

The warning symbol is shown if a fault is
detected during fault tracing or if a system
has been activated. Where required, the

30

The system consists of airbags and sensors.
A sufficiently violent collision trips the sensors
and the airbag(s) are inflated and become
hot. The airbag cushions the initial collision
impact for the occupant. The airbag deflates
when compressed by the collision. When this
occurs, smoke escapes into the car. This is
completely normal. The entire process,
including inflation and deflation of the airbag,
occurs within tenths of a second.

WARNING

Volvo recommends that you contact an
authorised Volvo workshop for repair.
Defective work in the airbag system could
cause malfunction and result in serious
personal injury.

NOTE

The detectors react differently depending
on the nature of the collision and whether
or not the seatbelts are fastened. Applies
to all belt positions.

It is therefore possible that only one (or
none) of the airbags may inflate in a colli­sion. The detectors sense the force of the
collision on the vehicle and the action is
adapted accordingly so that one or more
airbags are deployed.

Side airbag (SIPS)

In a side impact collision a large proportion of
the collision force is transferred by the SIPS
(Side Impact Protection System) to beams,
pillars, the floor, the roof and other structural
parts of the body. The side airbags at the driv­er's and front passenger seats protect the
chest area and the hip and are an important
part of the SIPS.

G032949

The SIPS bag system consists of two main
components, side airbag and sensors. The
side airbags are located in the front seat's
backrests.

A sufficiently violent collision trips the sensors
and the side airbags are inflated. The airbag
inflates between the occupant and the door
panel and thereby cushions the initial impact.
The airbag deflates when compressed by the
collision. The side airbag is normally only
deployed on the side of the collision.

Driver's seat, left-hand drive.

Front passenger seat, left-hand drive.

WARNING

•

Volvo recommends that repairs are
only carried out by an authorised Volvo
workshop. Defective work in the SIPS­bag system could cause malfunction
and result in serious personal injury.

•

Do not put objects in the area between
the outside of the seat and the door
panel, since this area is required by
the side airbag.

•

Volvo recommends the use only of car
seat covers approved by Volvo. Other
seat covers may impede the operation
of the side airbags.

Inflatable Curtain (IC)

The inflatable curtain helps to prevent the
driver and passengers from striking their
heads on the inside of the car during a colli­sion.

Inflatable curtain IC (Inflatable Curtain) is part
of the SIPS system (p. 34) and the airbag sys­tem (p. 29). It is fitted in the headlining along
both sides of the roof and protects the car's
occupants sitting in the outer seats. A suffi­ciently violent collision trips the sensors and
the inflatable curtain is inflated.

WARNING

Never hang or attach heavy items onto the
handles in the roof. The hook is only
designed for light clothing (not for solid
objects such as umbrellas for example).

Do not screw or install anything onto the
car's headlining, door pillars or side pan­els. This could compromise the intended
protection. Volvo recommends that you
only ever use Volvo genuine parts that are
approved for placement in these areas.

WARNING

Do not load the car higher than 50 mm
under the top edge of the door windows.
Otherwise, the intended protection of the
inflatable curtain, which is concealed in the
headlining, may be compromised.

WARNING

The inflatable curtain is a supplement to
the seatbelts.

Always use a seatbelt.

General information on WHIPS (whiplash protection)

WHIPS (Whiplash Protection System) is a pro­tection against whiplash injuries. The system
consists of energy absorbing backrests and
specially designed head restraints in the front
seats.

The WHIPS system is actuated by a rear-end
collision, where the angle and speed of the
collision, and the nature of the colliding vehi­cle all have an influence.

WARNING

The WHIPS system is a supplement to the
seatbelts. Always use a seatbelt.

Seat properties

When the WHIPS system is deployed, the
front seat backrests are lowered backward to
change the seating position of the driver and
front seat passenger. This reduces the risk of
whiplash injury.

WARNING

Never modify or repair the seat or WHIPS
system yourself. Volvo recommends that
you contact an authorised Volvo work­shop.

WHIPS - child seats

The protection provided by the car to children
seated in a child seat or on a booster cushion
is not diminished by the WHIPS system
(p. 36).

Child seat/booster cushion (p. 42) can be
placed on the front passenger seat provided
that the car does not have an activated airbag
(p. 32) on the front passenger side.

General information on child safety
(p. 41)

WHIPS - seating position

For optimum protection from the WHIPS sys­tem (p. 36) the driver and passenger must
have the correct seating position and make
sure that the system's function is not obstruc­ted.

Seating position

Set the correct seating position in the front
seat (p. 76) before driving starts.

Driver and front seat passenger should sit in
the centre of the seat with as little space as
possible between the head and the head
restraint.

Function

Do not leave any objects on the floor behind the
driver's seat/passenger seat that may prevent the
WHIPS system from functioning.

WARNING

Do not squeeze rigid objects between the
rear seat cushion and the front seat's
backrest. Make sure you do not to
obstruct the function of the WHIPS sys­tem.

Do not place objects on the rear seat that may
prevent the WHIPS system from functioning.

WARNING

If a rear seat backrest is folded down, the
corresponding front seat must be moved
forward so that it does not make contact
with the folded backrest.

02 Safety

38

WARNING

If a seat has been subjected to extreme
forces, such as due to a rear-end collision,
the WHIPS system must be checked.
Volvo recommends that it is checked by
an authorised Volvo workshop.

Part of the WHIPS system's protective
capacity may have been lost even if the
seat appears to be undamaged.

Volvo recommends that you contact an
authorised Volvo workshop to have the
system checked even after a minor rear­end collision.

The bodywork of the car could be greatly deformed in a
collision without airbag deployment. A number of factors
such as the rigidity and weight of the object hit, the speed
of the car, the angle of the collision etc. affects how the
different safety systems of the car are activated.

If the airbags (p. 29) have deployed, the fol­lowing is recommended:

•

Recovering the car. Volvo recommends
that you have it conveyed to an author­ised Volvo workshop. Do not drive with
deployed airbags.

•

Volvo recommends that you engage an
authorised Volvo workshop to handle the
replacement of components in the car's
safety systems.

•

Always contact a doctor.

NOTE

The airbags and belt tensioner system are
deployed only once during a collision.

02 Safety

39

WARNING

The airbag system's control module is
located in the centre console. If the centre
console is drenched with water or other
liquid, disconnect the battery cables. Do
not attempt to start the car since the air­bags may deploy. Recovering the car.
Volvo recommends that you have it con­veyed to an authorised Volvo workshop.

WARNING

Never drive with deployed airbags. They
can make steering difficult. Other safety
systems may also be damaged. The
smoke and dust created when the airbags
are deployed can cause skin and eye irrita­tion/injury after intensive exposure. In case
of irritation, wash with cold water. The
rapid deployment sequence and airbag
fabric may cause friction and skin burns.

General information on safety mode

Safety mode is a protective state that is
enforced when the collision may have dam­aged any of the car's vital functions, such as
the fuel lines, sensors for one of the safety
systems, or the brake system.

Warning triangle in the analogue combined
instrument panel.

Warning triangle in the digital combined instru­ment panel.

If the car is involved in a collision, the text

Safety mode See manual may appear in the

combined instrument panel (p. 59) informa­tion display. This means that the car has
reduced functionality.

WARNING

Never attempt to repair your car or reset
the electronics yourself if the car has been
in safety mode. This could result in per­sonal injury or the car not functioning as
normal. Volvo recommends that you
engage an authorised Volvo workshop to
check and restore the car to normal status
after

not be driven or towed but a vehicle recovery
service (p. 304) used instead. Even if the car
appears to be driveable, hidden damage may
make the car impossible to control once mov­ing.

WARNING

Never, under any circumstances, attempt
to restart the car if it smells of fuel when
the

Safety mode See manual message

is displayed. Leave the car at once.

WARNING

If the car is in safety mode it must not be
towed. It must be transported from its

General information on child safety

Children of all ages and sizes must always sit
correctly secured in the car. Never allow a
child to sit on the knee of a passenger.

Volvo recommends that children travel in
rear-facing child seats until as late an age as
possible, at least until 3-4 years of age, and
then front-facing booster cushions/child seats
until up to 10 years of age.

The position of a child in the car and the
choice of equipment are dictated by the
child's weight and size; see Child seats
(p. 42).

NOTE

Regulations regarding the placement of
children in cars vary from country to coun­try. Check what does apply.

Volvo has child safety equipment (child seats,
booster cushions & attachment devices)
which is designed for your particular car.
Using Volvo's child safety equipment pro­vides you with optimum conditions for your
child to travel safely in the car. Furthermore,
the child safety equipment fits and is easy to
use.

NOTE

In the event of questions when fitting child
safety products, contact the manufacturer
for clearer instructions.

Child safety locks

The rear doors and rear door windows* can
be blocked manually (p. 175) or electronically

Child seats - location

Always fit child seats/booster cushions (p. 42)
in the rear seat if the passenger airbag is acti­vated (p. 32). If a child is sitting on the front
passenger seat then he/she could suffer seri­ous injury if the airbag deploys.

The warning label for the passenger airbag is
fitted in one of the following two locations in
the car:

Alternative 1: Position of airbag label on passen­ger side sun visor.

Alternative 2: Position of airbag label on passen­ger side door pillar. The label becomes visible
when the passenger door is opened.

You may place:

•

a child seat/booster cushion on the front
passenger seat provided there is no acti­vated airbag on the front passenger side.

•

one or more child seats/booster cushions
in the rear seat.

WARNING

Never use a rear-facing child seat on a
seat protected by an activated airbag. Fail­ure to follow this advice can lead to death
or serious injury to the child.

WARNING

Never place a child in a child seat or on a
booster cushion in the front seat if the air­bag is activated.

Never allow anybody to stand or sit in front
of the front passenger seat.

No one shorter than 140 cm should ever
sit in the front passenger seat if the airbag
is activated.

Failure to follow the advice given above
can endanger life.

WARNING

Booster cushions/child seats with steel
braces or some other design that could
rest on the seatbelt buckle's opening but­ton must not be used, as they could cause
the seatbelt buckle to open accidentally.

Do not allow the upper section of the child
seat to rest against the windscreen.

Child seats - upper mounting points

The car is equipped with upper mounting
points for child seats (p. 42). These mounting
points are located on the parcel shelf and are
concealed by plastic covers. Bend aside the
plastic covers to access each respective
mounting point.

For cars with folding head restraints on the
outside seats, the head restraints should be
folded to facilitate installation.

The upper mounting points are primarily
intended for use with front-facing child seats.
Volvo recommends that small children should
sit in rear-facing child seats for as long as
possible.

For detailed information on how the child seat
should be tensioned in the upper mounting
points, see the seat manufacturer's instruc­tions.

WARNING

The child seat's straps must always be
drawn through the hole in the head
restraint leg before they are tensioned at
the attachment point.

Eco guide & Power guide*

Eco guide and Power guide are two com­bined instrument panel (p. 59) instruments
which help the driver to drive the car with
optimum driving economy.

The car also stores statistics of journeys
made, which can be viewed in the form of a
block diagram; see Trip computer - trip statis­tics* (p. 119).

Eco guide

This instrument provides an indication of how
economically the car is being driven.

To view this function, select the theme "Eco";
see Digital combined instrument panel - over­view (p. 60).

Instantaneous value

Average value

Instantaneous value

The instantaneous value is shown here - the
higher the reading on the scale, the better.

The instantaneous value is calculated based
on speed, engine speed, engine power uti­lised plus use of the foot brake.

Optimum speed (50-80 km/h) and low engine
speeds are encouraged. The pointers fall dur­ing acceleration and braking.

Very low instantaneous values illuminate the
red zone on the meter (with a short delay),
which means poor driving economy and
hence should be avoided.

Average value

The average value slowly follows the instanta­neous value and describes how the car has
been driven most recently. The higher the
pointers on the scale, the better the economy
achieved by the driver.

Power guide

This instrument shows the relationship
between how much power (Power) is being
taken from the engine and how much power
is available.

To view this function, select the theme
"Performance"; see Digital combined instru­ment panel - overview (p. 60).

Rear fog lamp on

This symbol illuminates when the rear fog
lamp is switched on.

Stability system

A flashing symbol indicates that the stability
system is operating. If the symbol illuminates
with constant glow then there is a fault in the
system.

Stability system, sport mode

Sport mode allows for a more active driving
experience. The system then detects whether
the accelerator pedal, steering wheel move­ments and cornering are more active than in
normal driving and then allows controlled
skidding of the rear section up to a certain
level before it intervenes and stabilises the
car. The symbol illuminates when the sport
mode is activated.

Engine preheater (diesel)

This symbol illuminates during engine pre­heating. Preheating takes place mostly due to
low temperature.

Low level in fuel tank

When the symbol illuminates the level in the
fuel tank is low, refuel as soon as possible.

Information, read display text

When one of the car's systems does not
behave as intended, this information symbol
illuminates and a text appears on the informa­tion display. The message text is cleared with
the OK button, see Menu navigation - com­bined instrument panel (p. 105), or it disap­pears automatically after a time (time
depending on which function is indicated).
The information symbol can also illuminate in
conjunction with other symbols.

NOTE

When a service message is shown, the
symbol and message are cleared using the
OK button, or disappear automatically
after a time.

Main beam On

The symbol illuminates when main beam is on
and with main beam flash.

Left/right-hand direction indicator

Both direction indicator symbols flash when
the hazard warning flashers are used.

Eco function on

This symbol illuminates when the Eco func­tion is activated.

Start/Stop

The symbol shines when the engine is auto­stopped.

the centre console's display screen. With
Volvo Sensus the car can be personalised by
means of an intuitive user interface. Settings
can be made in Car settings, Audio and
media, Climate control, etc.

With the centre console buttons and controls
or the steering wheel's right-hand keypad*

functions can be activated or deactivated and
many different settings can be made.

With a press on MY CAR all settings related
to the driving and control of the car are pre­sented, such as City Safety, locks and alarm,
automatic fan speed, setting the clock, etc.

With a press on the respective function
RADIO, MEDIA, TEL*,

sensor on the top of the instrument panel
changes from daytime running lights to
dipped beam at twilight or when daylight
becomes too weak. Switching to dipped
beam also takes place when the windscreen
wipers or rear fog lamps are activated.

WARNING

This system help to save energy - it cannot
determine in all situations when daylight is
too weak or sufficiently strong, e.g. in mist
and rain.

Tunnel detection*

Tunnel detection changes the lighting from
daytime running lights to dipped beam when
the car is driven into a tunnel. Approx. 20 sec­onds after the car has left the tunnel, the light­ing returns to daytime running lights.

The tunnel detection function is available in
cars with rain sensor*. The sensor detects the
entrance to a tunnel and resets the lighting
from daytime running lights to dipped beam.
Approx. 20 seconds after the car has left the
tunnel, the lighting returns to daytime running
lights. If the car is driven into another tunnel
within this time period then dipped beam is
kept switched on. This avoids repeated
changes to the car's lighting.

Note that the headlamp control's knob must
remain in

position for tunnel detection

to work.

Active high beam*

The Active High Beam function detects the
headlamp beams of oncoming traffic or the
rear lights of vehicles in front, and switches
the lighting from main beam to dipped beam.
The lighting returns to main beam when the
incoming light has stopped.

Active high beam - AHB

Active high beam (Active High Beam - AHB) is
a function which uses a camera sensor at the
top edge of the windscreen to detect the
headlamp beams of oncoming traffic or the
rear lights of vehicles in front, and then
switches from main beam to dipped beam.
The function can also take streetlights into
account.

The lighting returns to main beam about a
second after the camera sensor no longer
detects the headlamp beams from oncoming
traffic or the rear lights from vehicles in front.

Headlamps - adjusting headlamp pattern

The headlamp pattern must be adjusted to
avoid dazzling oncoming motorists and can
be set for right or left-hand traffic.

Headlamp pattern, left-hand traffic.

G021152

Headlamp pattern, right-hand traffic.

Active Xenon headlamps*

G019442

Headlamp control for adjusting headlamp pat­tern.

Normal position – the headlamp pattern is
correct for the country in which the car
was delivered.

Adapted position – designed for opposite
headlamp pattern.

WARNING

The headlamps must be handled with
extreme caution due to the Xenon lamp
being supplied by a high-voltage unit.

The country in which the car is delivered
determines whether normal position is
designed for right or left-hand traffic.

Example 1

If a car that is delivered in Sweden shall be
driven in the UK then the headlamps must be

set to the adjusted position, see preceding
illustration.

Example 2

A car that is delivered in the UK is designed
for left-hand traffic and is driven there with
the headlamps in normal position, see pre­ceding illustration.

Halogen headlamps

The headlamp pattern for halogen headlamps
is readjusted by masking the headlamp lens.
The headlamp pattern may not be as good.

Masking the headlamps

1. Copy the A and B templates for left-hand
drive cars or the C and D templates for
right-hand drive cars, see the later sec­tion "Templates for halogen headlamps":

•

A = LHD Right (left-hand drive, right
lens)

•

B = LHD Left (left-hand drive, left lens)

•

C = RHD Right (right-hand drive, right
lens)

•

D = RHD Left (right-hand drive, left
lens)

2. Transfer the template to a self-adhesive
waterproof material and cut it out.

3. Start from the design line on the head­lamp lenses; see the dotted line in the fol­lowing figure. Position the self-adhesive
templates at the right distance from each
design line using the illustration and the
dimensions in the following list:

•

A = LHD Right - approx. 86 mm

•

B = LHD Left - approx. 40 mm

•

C = RHD Right - 0 mm

•

D = RHD Left - approx. 96 mm

IMPORTANT

Before activating the wipers during winter ­ensure that the wiper blades are not frozen
in, and that any snow or ice on the wind­screen is scraped away.

IMPORTANT

Use plenty of washer fluid when the wipers
are cleaning the windscreen. The wind­screen must be wet when the windscreen
wipers are operating.

Service position wiper blade

For cleaning the windscreen/wiper blades
and replacement of wiper blades, see Wiper
blades (p. 359) and Car washing (p. 380).

Rain sensor*

The rain sensor automatically starts the wind­screen wipers based on how much water it

detects on the windscreen. The sensitivity of
the rain sensor can be adjusted using the
thumbwheel.

When the rain sensor is activated a lamp in
the button is illuminated and the rain sensor

symbol

is shown in the combined

instrument panel.

Activating and setting the sensitivity

When activating the rain sensor, the car must
be running or the remote control key in posi­tion I or II while the windscreen wiper stalk
switch must be in position 0 or in the position
for a single sweep.

Activate the rain sensor by pressing the but­ton

. The windscreen wipers make one

sweep.
Press the stalk switch up for the wipers to

make an extra sweep.
Turn the thumbwheel upward for higher sen-

sitivity and downward for lower sensitivity.
(An extra sweep is made when the thumb­wheel is turned upward.)

Washing the headlamps and windows

Washing function.

Washing the windscreen

Move the stalk switch toward the steering
wheel to start the windscreen and headlamp
washers.

The windscreen wipers will make several
more sweeps and the headlamps are washed
once the stalk switch has been released.

Heated washer nozzles*

The washer nozzles are heated automatically
in cold weather to prevent the washer fluid
freezing solid.

High-pressure headlamp washing*

High-pressure headlamp washing consumes
a large quantity of washer fluid. To save fluid,
the headlamps are washed automatically at
every fifth windscreen wash cycle.

Reduced washing

If only approx. 1 litre of washer fluid remains
in the reservoir and the message that you
should fill the washer fluid is shown in the
combined instrument panel, then the supply
of washer fluid to the headlamps is switched
off. This is in order to prioritise cleaning the
windscreen and the visibility through it.
