2007 VOLVO S80 display

Current speed in mph (Canadian models only)
This function provides the driver with an instantaneous conversion of the car's current speed from km/h to mph.
Current fuel consumption (Instantaneous)
Current fuel consumption is calculated every second. The information on the display is updated every few seconds.
When the vehicle is stationary, "----" appears on the display.
Average fuel consumption
The average fuel consumption since the last reset. Reset using RESET.
Driving distance on current fuel reserve
The calculation is based on the average fuel consumption over the last 20 miles (30 km) and the remaining fuel in the
tank. This shows the approximate distance that can be driven with the fuel quantity remaining in the tank. When the
driving distance on the current fuel reserve is less than 12 miles (20 km), "----" is shown on the display.
Resetting
1. Select Average speed or Average fuel consumption.
2. Press and hold RESET for approx. 1 second to reset the selected function. If RESET is kept depressed for at 3 three
seconds, Average speed and Average fuel consumption are reset simultaneously.

Compass
Operation
The upper right corner of the rearview mirror has an integrated display that shows the compass direction in which the
vehicle is pointing. Eight different directions are shown with the abbreviations: N (north), NE (north east), E (east), SE
(southeast), S (south), SW (southwest), W (west) and NW (northwest).
The compass is displayed automatically when the vehicle is started or in ignition mode II . To switch the compass
on/off use a pen or similar object and press in the button on the rear side of the mirror.
Calibration
ProCarManuals.com

The compass may need to be calibrated if, for example, the vehicle is driven into a new magnetic zone. The characters
CAL are shown in the mirror's display if calibration is necessary.
1. Stop the vehicle in a large open area, away from traffic.
2. Start the vehicle.
3. Using a pen or similar object, press and hold the button on the rear side of mirror until CAL is shown again (after
approx. 6 seconds).
4. Drive as usual. CAL disappears from the display when calibration is complete. Alternative calibration method: Drive
slowly in a circle at a speed of no more than 5 mph (8 km/h) until CAL disappears from the display when calibration
is complete.
Selecting a magnetic zone
The earth is divided into 15 magnetic zones. The correct zone must be selected for the compass to work correctly.
1. Put the ignition in mode II.
2. Using a pen or similar object, press and hold the button on the rear side of mirror for at least 3 seconds. The number

If the symbol flashes, this indicates that the stability system is actively functioning to help counteract wheel spin
and/or a skid.
If the symbol remains on for approximately 2 seconds after the engine has been started, this indicates that the system
is performing a self -diagnostic test.
WARNING
The stability system is intended to help improve driving safety. It supplements, but can never replace, the driver's
judgment and responsibility when operating the vehicle. Speed and driving style should always be adapted to traffic
and road conditions.

Active chassis system-Four C
Active chassis (Four C)-option
Active chassis, Four-C (Continuously Controlled Chassis Concept), regulates the characteristics of the shock absorbers
so that the car's driving characteristics can be adjusted. There are three settings: Comfort, Sport and Advanced.
Comfort
The Comfort mode chassis setting offers the greatest amount of shock absorption and the softest ride. This mode is
recommended for long-distance driving, or when driving in slippery conditions. The indicator light in the button will
be on when this mode is selected.
Sport
In this mode, shock absorption is stiffer to reduce the vehicle's body sway during cornering and to provide more

Adaptive Cruise Control-ACC
WARNING
Adaptive cruise control is not a collision avoidance system. The driver is always responsible for applying the
brakes if the system does not detect another vehicle.
Adaptive cruise control does not react to slow moving or stationary vehicles.
The distance to the vehicle ahead (in the same lane) is measured by a radar sensor. Your vehicle's speed is regulated by
acceleration and braking. The brakes may emit a sound when they are being modulated by the adaptive cruise control
system. This is normal.
WARNING
The brake pedal moves when the adaptive cruise control system modulates the brakes. Do not rest your foot under
the brake pedal.
The adaptive cruise control system is designed to follow the vehicle ahead of you in the same lane, at a set time
interval.
If the radar sensor has not detected a vehicle ahead, the system will then attempt to maintain the set speed. This is also
the case if the speed of the vehicle ahead exceeds the speed that you have set.
The adaptive cruise control system is designed to smoothly regulate speed. However, the driver must apply the brakes
in situations that require immediate braking. This applies when there are great differences in speed between vehicles,
or if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly.
WARNING
Due to limitations in the radar sensor, braking may occur unexpectedly or not at all, see page 146
.
Adaptive cruise control can only be activated at speeds above 20 mph (30 km/h). If speed falls below 20 mph (30
km/h) or if engine speed (rpm) becomes too low, adaptive cruise control disengages and will no longer modulate the
brakes. In situations when adaptive cruise control cannot be activated Cruise Control Unavailable is shown in the
display, see page 149
.
WARNING
When adaptive cruise control disengages, the brakes will not be modulated automatically. The driver must assume
full control over the vehicle.
Warning light -driver braking required
Adaptive cruise control has a braking capacity that is equivalent to approximately 30% of the vehicle's total braking
capacity. In situations requiring more brake force than ACC can provide, if the driver does not apply the brakes, an
audible signal will sound and a red warning light will illuminate in the windshield.
ProCarManuals.com

NOTE
The red warning light may be difficult to see in strong sunlight or when sunglasses are being worn.
WARNING
Cruise control only warns of vehicles detected by the radar sensor, see page 146
. In some cases there may be no
warning or the warning may be delayed. The driver should always apply the brakes when necessary.
Automatic deactivation
Adaptive cruise control is linked to other systems such as the stability and traction control system (DSTC). If any of
these systems are not functioning properly, adaptive cruise control is automatically deactivated.
In the event of automatic deactivation a signal will sound and the message Cruise Control Canceled is shown in the
display. The
146 04 Comfort and driving pleasure
Adaptive Cruise Control-ACC
driver must then intervene and adapt the vehicle's speed to the surrounding traffic. Automatic deactivation may be
caused if:
the vehicle's speed falls below 20 mph (30 km/h)
the wheels lose traction or if the anti-lock brake system is activated
brake temperature is high
engine speed (rpm) is too low
the radar sensor is obstructed by, for example, wet snow or rain.
The radar sensor and its limitations
The radar sensor is used both by the adaptive cruise control and the collision warning system. It is designed to detect
vehicles or larger vehicles driving in the same direction as your vehicle. The radar sensor does not detect pedestrians,
or oncoming, slow or stationary vehicles and objects. Warnings are not given and the brakes are not applied in such
cases.
WARNING
Accessories or other objects must not be installed in front of the grille.
Modification of the radar sensor could make its use illegal.
The radar sensor's capacity to detect vehicles ahead is impeded:
if the radar sensor is obstructed and cannot detect other vehicles, for example in heavy rain, or if snow or other
objects are obscuring the radar sensor.
NOTE
Keep the area in front of the radar sensor clean.

Adaptive cruise control is disengaged (goes into standby mode):
If the speed drops below approximately 20 mph (30 km/h).
When the brake pedal is depressed.
If the gear selector is moved to position N.
During wheel spin or wheel lock-up.
If the vehicle's speed is increased by using the accelerator pedal for more than 1 minute.
NOTE
If the accelerator pedal is depressed for a short period, such as when passing another vehicle, adaptive cruise control
is temporarily disengaged and re-engages when the accelerator pedal is released.
When ACC is disengaged, the driver must assume full control of the vehicle.
