Indicates engine speed in thousands of rpm. Do not drive for long with the needle in the red section. The engine has an
built-in function preventing too high an engine speed. When this function operates, you may discern some pulsation,
which in that case is quite normal.

The currently selected driving mode is displayed here. If you use the geartronic function on the automatic transmission,
the currently selected gear will be displayed.

This display indicates the air temperature outside your car. A "snowflake" symbol in the text window is displayed
when the temperature is in the range of 23 - 36¡ F (-5 - +2¡ C).

At low speeds or when the car is not moving, the temperature readings may be slightly higher than the actual ambient
temperature.

Turn the button to adjust the clock.
13 Fuel gauge
The fuel tank holds approximately 21.1 US gal. (80 liters)*. When the warning light comes on there are approximately
1.8 US gal. (8 liters) of fuel remaining.

* 18.5 US gals (70 liters) on V70 AWD, V70 XC and V70 with non-turbo engine.
pg. 26 Instruments, switches and controls
The indicator and warning lights described on pages 26 and 27 should never stay on when driving*
When the ignition key is turned, all of the warning lights in the lower right-hand side of the instrument panel should
go on to test the function of the bulbs. If a light does not go off after the engine has started, the system indicated
should be inspected.

When a warning light in the instrument panel comes on, a message is also displayed in the text window. After you
have read the message, you can erase it by pressing button A (see illustration above).

Trip computer
The trip computer stores information gathered from several systems in your car and has four menus that can be
displayed in the text window.
Driving distance on current fuel reserve
Average fuel consumption
Current fuel consumption
Average speed
NOTE: Warning messages from the car's monitoring systems will override the trip computer function. If a warning
message is displayed in the text window while you are using the trip computer, you must acknowledge the message by
pressing button A. Press button A again to return to the trip computer function.
Trip computer controls
The four trip computer functions can be accessed by twisting control B one step at a time in either direction. Twisting
a fifth time returns you to the original function. The trip computer can be reset (current data will be erased from
system memory) by pressing RESET (button C).
Trip computer functions
Driving distance on current fuel reserve This function shows the approximate distance that can be driven on the fuel
remaining in the tank. This calculation is based on average fuel consumption during the last 12 miles (20 km) of
driving and the amount of fuel remaining in the tank when the reading was taken. When the driving distance on current
fuel reserve is less than 12 miles (20 km), "----" will be displayed in the text window.
Average fuel consumption This value indicates fuel consumption since the last time the trip computer was reset (by
pressing RESET, button C). When the engine is switched off, information on fuel consumption is stored and remains in
system memory until the RESET (button C) is pressed again.
Current fuel consumption This value indicates the current fuel consumption, based on readings taken once per
second. When the car is not moving, "----" will be displayed.
Average speed This value indicates average speed since the last time the trip computer was reset (by pressing RESET,
button C). When the engine is switched off, information on average speed is stored and remains in system memory
until the RESET (button C) is pressed again.

Electrically operated seats with memory function *
WARNING!
Because the driver's seat can be adjusted with the ignition off, children should never be left unattended in the car.
Movement of the seat can be STOPPED at any time by pressing any button on the power seat control panel.
Do not adjust the seat while driving. The seat should be adjusted so that the brake pedal can be depressed fully. In
addition, position the seat as far rearward as comfort and control allow.
The seat rails on the floor must not be obstructed in any way when the seat is in motion.
Three seat positions can be programmed. To program a seat position:
1 Adjust the seat to the desired position.
2 Hold down the MEM button.
3 While holding down the MEM button, press button 1 to program the current position of the seat.
Buttons 2 and 3 can be programmed in the same way. To move the seat to a programmed position, press and hold
down button 1, 2 or 3 until the seat moves to the preset position and stops.
As a safety precaution, the seat will stop automatically if the button is released before the seat has reached the
programmed position.
NOTE: The seat has an overload protector which engages if an object blocks the movement of the seat. If this
happens, remove the object and wait 20 seconds before operating the seat again.
* Only the driver's seat is equipped with the memory function.

Remote keyless entry system
Your car is equipped with a remote control transmitter. This transmitter uses a radio frequency which will allow
"keyless" entry into the passenger compartment or the tailgate. Your car is supplied with two coded key ring
transmitters, which will enable you to lock/ unlock all doors and the tailgate from a distance of 10-15 feet (3-5 meters).
The remote transmitter will also activate or deactivate the your car's alarm system(s). The car can also be
locked/unlocked with the key.
As an extra security precaution in certain situations (valet parking, etc.), Volvo recommends that the transmitter not be
included when the keys are given to anyone. The service key can be used instead. If one of the transmitters is
misplaced, contact your nearest authorized Volvo retailer for assistance.
Using the remote control
Press the LOCK button once to lock all doors, fuel filler door and tailgate.
Press the UNLOCK button once to unlock the driver's door only. Press this button again (within 10 seconds) to
unlock all doors, fuel filler door and tailgate.
To open the tailgate (without unlocking the other doors), press the tailgate -unlock button twice.
NOTE:
If the doors are unlocked with the remote, the locks will automatically reengage (re-lock) and the alarm will reset
after 2 minutes unless a door has been opened.
The lock/unlock and alarm features can also be utilized by using the keys.
Remote keyless entry system and driver's seat/sideview mirrors
The remote control transmitter also controls the electrically operated driver's seat and sideview mirrors in the
following way:
Adjust the seat/sideview mirrors to your preferences.
When you leave your car, lock it using the remote control.
