Cruise control
The cruise control panel is located on the left side of the steering whe\
el hub.

l Press the CRUISE button
l Press + or - to set the current speed
l Increase or decrease speed as desired

Braking
Cruise control is automatically disengaged when the brake pedal is depre\
ssed. The currently set speed is
stored in memory. Quickly pressing resume (
) will return the car to the previously set speed.
Acceleration
Momentary acceleration, such as when passing another car, does not affec\
t cruise control operation. The
car will automatically return to the previously set speed when you relea\
se the accelerator pedal.
When the cruise control is already engaged, the car's speed can be incre\
ased or decreased by holding
down + or - until the car reaches the desired speed. One short press on \
either symbol corresponds to a
speed change of approximately 1 mph (1.6 km/h).

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 l\
ights will also be on.
Volvo recommends the use of daytime running lights. If, however, you wou\
ld 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\
