Tailgate wiper and reverse gearIf the windshield wipers are on and the trans-
mission is put into reverse gear, the tailgate
wiper will go into intermittent wiping function
1.
This function is deactivated when a different
gear is selected.
NOTE
On vehicles with the optional rain sensor,
the tailgate wiper will be activated when
reverse is selected, if the rain sensor is acti-
vated and it is raining.
If the tailgate wiper is in the normal (continuous)
wiping mode, selecting different gears will not
affect its function.
IR-reflecting windshield*
Section of the windshield where the IR-coating is
not applied
Dimensions
A1.9 in. (47 mm)
B3.4 in. (87 mm)
An optional factory-installed infrared (IR) coa-
ting can be applied to the windshield to help
protect the cabin from the sun's heat and the
fading effect of sunlight on upholstery, panels,
etc.
Electronic equipment such as garage door
openers, electronic toll tags and similar devi-ces should not be placed on sections of the
windshield with the IR coating because this
could affect their function and limit their range.
For best performance, place the device on the
section of the windshield without the IR coating
(see the area marked in the illustration).
1Consult your Volvo retailer if you would like to have this function deactivated.

Compass*
03
102* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Operation
Rearview mirror with compass.
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 underside
of the mirror.
CalibrationThe compass may need to be calibrated if, for
example, the vehicle is driven into a new mag-netic zone. The character
C is shown in the
mirror's display if calibration is necessary.
1. Stop the vehicle in a large open area, safely
out of traffic and away from steel structures
and high-tension electrical wires.
2. Start the vehicle.
NOTE
For best results from calibration, switch off
all electrical equipment in the vehicle (cli-
mate system, windshield wipers, audio sys-
tem, etc.) and make sure that all doors are
closed.
3. Using a pen or similar object, press and
hold the button on the underside of mirror
until
C is shown again in the mirror(after
approx. 6 seconds).
4.
Drive as usual.
C disappears from the dis-
play 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
C disap-
pears from the display when calibration is
complete.

bright sunlight.
Both the laminated panoramic roof and the sun
shade are operated by the controls in the ceil-
