When cleaning your car, use Volvo's own car care products, all of which have systematically been adapted to the
environment.

PremAir®
On the surface of the radiator in the engine compartment, there is a special coating called PremAir®. PremAir® works
as a catalytic converter, converting most of the ground level ozone passing through the radiator into oxygen, thereby
reducing harmful ground-level ozone.

5. Odometer
6. Speedometer
7. Warning symbol
8. High beam indicator
9. Tachometer
Indicates engine speed in thousands of revolutions per minute (rpm). Do not drive for long with the needle in the red
section. The engine has an built-in function preventing excessively high engine speeds. When this function operates,
you may discern some pulsation, which in that case is quite normal.
10. Gear and driving mode indicator
The currently selected driving mode is displayed here. If you use the optional Geartronic function on the automatic
transmission, the currently selected gear will be displayed.
11. Ambient temperature gauge
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).
Please note that this symbol does not indicate a fault with your car.
At low speeds or when the car is not moving, the temperature readings may be slightly higher than the actual ambient
temperature.
12. Clock/set button
Turn the button to set the clock.
13. Fuel gauge
The fuel tank holds approximately:
Front wheel drive: 18.5 US gals (70 liters)
All Wheel drive : 19 US gals (72 liters)
S80R : 18 US gal. (68 liters)
When a warning light in the gauge comes on, there are approximately 1.8 US gal. (8 liters) of fuel remaining in the
tank.

Indicator and warning symbols
The indicator and warning symbols light up when you turn the ignition key to the driving position (position II) before
starting. This shows that the symbols are functioning. When the engine starts, all symbols go out. If the engine is not
started within 5 seconds, all symbols except CHECK ENGINE and
go out. Certain symbols may not have their
functions illustrated, depending on the car's equipment. The symbol for the parking brake goes out when the parking
brake is released.

WARNING!
Never adjust the steering wheel while driving.

Lighting panel
A - Headlights and parking lights
All lighting off.
Models with daytime running lights:
Low beam headlights will automatically come on if the ignition key is in position II. Front and rear parking lights and
license plate lights will also be on. Volvo recommends the use of daytime running lights. If, however, you would
prefer to have these lights turned off (USA only), please consult your Volvo retailer. Please note that the use of
daytime running lights is mandatory in Canada.
NOTE: Bi -Xenon headlights (option): Turn the headlight switch to position 0 to activate a daylight sensor, which
automatically switches the low beams on or off, depending on ambient light conditions. When driving in daylight, the
headlights will switch off and the daytime running lights will come on. In darkness, the daytime running lights will
switch off and the Bi -Xenon headlights will switch on.
Parking lights on. The parking lights should be switched off when you leave the car to help avoid battery
drain.
Headlights, parking lights, license plate lights and instrument panel illumination are on if the ignition key is in
position II.
If the headlight switch is in this position, all lights will go out when the ignition is switched off.
The headlight switch must be in this position before the high beams will function (this also applies on models equipped
with the optional Bi -Xenon headlights).
Switch from high to low beams and vice versa by pulling the turn signal switch lever on the left side of steering
column toward you.
B - Instrument lighting
Move the thumb wheel up to increase brightness or down to decrease brightness. There is also an instrument panel
illumination sensor (see illustration on page 46
) which automatically adjusts the level of illumination.
ProCarManuals.com

The symbols have maximum illumination in daylight (only the background lighting can be adjusted). At night, both the
symbol light and background lighting can be adjusted.
C - Unlocking the fuel filler door
Press this button when the car is at a standstill to unlock the fuel filler door. Please note that the fuel filler door will
remain unlocked until the car begins to move forward. An audible click will be heard when the fuel filler door relocks.
See also page 80
.
NOTE: If the fuel filler door does not unlock after the button has been pressed, please see page 31
for information on
manually unlocking this door.
D - Front fog lights *
The front fog lights will function only in combination with the low beam headlights.
An LED in the switch indicates when the front fog lights are on.
* Standard on T5, R models/accessory on the other models.
These lights will be automatically switched off the next time the car is started.
