If a  warning message appears while you are using the trip computer, this  message must  be  acknowledged in order to
return to the trip computer function. Acknowledge a  message by pressing READ .
To change the unit of measure specified for distance and  speed, contact an  authorized Volvo workshop.
Average speed
The system calculates  the average speed from  the last resetting.  Reset using RESET .
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 speed in km/h (U.S. models only)
This function provides  the driver with an  instantaneous  conversion of the car's current speed from  mph to km/h.
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 usable 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), " ---- miles to empty tank" is shown on
the display.
 NOTE 
The actual distance that can be  driven on the usable fuel remaining in the tank may be  influenced by a  change in
driving style.

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
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
for the current area will be  shown.
3. Press the button repeatedly until the number for the required geographic  area (1-15) is shown.

Stability system
Introduction
The Dynamic Stability and  Traction Control system (DSTC) consists of a  number of functions designed help reduce
wheel spin, counteract skidding,  and  to generally help improve directional stability.
 CAUTION 
A pulsating sound will be  audible  when the system is actively operating and  is normal.
Traction control (TC)
This function is designed to help reduce wheel spin by transferring power from  a  drive wheel that begins to lose
traction to the wheel on the opposite side of the vehicle (on the same axle).
TC is most  active at low speeds.
This is one  of DSTC's  permanent functions and  cannot be  switched off.
Active Yaw  Control (AYC)
This function helps maintain directional stability, for example when cornering, by braking one  or more of the wheels if
the vehicle shows  a  tendency to skid or slide laterally.
This is one  of DSTC's  permanent functions and  cannot be  switched off.
Spin  control (SC)
The spin control function is designed to help prevent the drive wheels from  spinning  while the vehicle is accelerating.
Under certain circumstances, such as when driving with snow chains, or driving in deep snow or loose sand, it may be
advisable to temporarily switch off this  function for maximum tractive force.
 WARNING 
The car's handling and  stability characteristics will be  altered if the spin control function has been disabled.
Operation 

Temporarily  switching off Spin  control
1. Turn  the thumbwheel  
 until the DSTC menu is shown.
2. Hold down the RESET  button 
 to toggle between DSTC SPIN CONTROL ON  or OFF .
Messages in the information display
DSTC Temporarily OFF  - system function has been temporarily reduced due  to high brake disc temperature. The
function is activated automatically  when the brakes have cooled.
DSTC Service required  - the system has been disabled due  to a  fault. If this  occurs:

Stability system
1. Stop the vehicle in a  safe place and  turn off the engine.
2. Restart the engine.
If the message remains when the engine is restarted,  drive to an  authorized Volvo workshop  to have the system
inspected.
Symbols in the instrument panel
If the symbols 
 and   are displayed at the same time, read the message in the information display.
If the symbol  
 appears alone, it may appear as follows:
 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.

 or  buttons.
 Press and  hold down  or  until the vehicle reaches the desired speed. This will become the set speed when the
button is released.
 Press  or  for approximately a  half second and  release the button to increase or decrease  vehicle speed by
approximately 1 mph (1.6 km/h).
 NOTE 
 A temporary increase in speed by pressing the accelerator  pedal, for less than 1 minute (e.g. when passing another
car), does not affect the current cruise control setting. The vehicle will automatically  return to the previously set
speed when the accelerator  pedal is released.
 If one  of the cruise control buttons  is kept depressed  for more than approx. 1 minute cruise control is disengaged.
The engine must  then be  switched off in order to reset cruise control.
Automatic deactivation
Cruise control is automatically  deactivated temporarily  if one  of the following occurs:
 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.
The currently set speed will be  saved in the system's memory.
