Accessories and extra equipment
The incorrect connection and installation of accessories and extra equipment can nega-tively affect the car's electronic system. Certain accessories only function when asso- ciated software is installed in the car's com-puter system. Volvo therefore recommendsthat you always contact an authorised Volvoworkshop before installing accessories orextra equipment which are connected to oraffect the electrical system.
Heat-reflecting windscreen*
Areas where IR film is not applied.
Dimensions

The windscreen is equipped with a heat- reflecting film (IR) that reduces the solar heatradiation into the passenger compartment. The positioning of electronic equipment, such as a transponder, behind a glass surface withheat-reflecting film may affect its function andperformance. For the optimal function of electronic equip- ment, it should be positioned on the part ofthe windscreen with no heat-reflecting film(see the highlighted area in the above illustra-tion).Change of ownership for cars with Volvo On Call*

Safety mode - attempting to start the car
If the car is set in safety mode (p. 37) then an attempt to start the car can be made if every-thing seems normal and the absence of fuelleakage has been checked. First, check that no fuel is leaking from the car. There must be no smell of fuel either. If everything seems normal and you have checked for indications of fuel leakage, youmay attempt to start the car. Remove the remote control key and open the driver's door. If a message is now shown tothe effect that the ignition is on, press thestart button. Then close the door and reinsertthe remote control key. The car's electronicswill now try to reset themselves to normalmode. Then try to start the car. If the message
Safety mode See manual is
still shown on the display then the car must not be driven or towed but a vehicle recoveryservice (p. 316) used instead. Even if the carappears to be driveable, hidden damage maymake the car impossible to control once mov-ing.
WARNING

WARNING
This system help to save energy - it cannot determine in all situations when daylight istoo weak or sufficiently strong, e.g. in mistand rain. The driver is always responsible for ensur- ing that the car is driven with its lights in acorrect state and in accordance with appli-cable traffic regulations.
Tunnel detection*
In markets without automatic dipped beam, tunnel detection activates dipped beam whendriving into a tunnel. Dipped beam is deacti-vated approx. 20 seconds after the car hasbeen driven out of the tunnel. The tunnel detection function is available in cars with rain sensor*. The sensor detects theentrance to a tunnel and resets the lightingfrom daytime running lights to dipped beam.Approx. 20 seconds after the car has left thetunnel, the lighting returns to daytime runninglights. If the car is driven into another tunnelwithin this time period then dipped beam iskept switched on. This avoids repeatedchanges to the car's light settings. Note that the headlamp control's knob must remain in
position for tunnel detection
to work.

The function can start while driving in the dark when the car's speed is 20 km/h orhigher. Activate/deactivate AHB by moving the left- hand stalk switch towards the steering wheelto the end position and then releasing. Deac-tivation when main beam is on means that thelights are reset directly to dipped beam. Car with analogue combined instrument panel When AHB is activated the
symbol illu-
minates in the instrument's information dis- play. When main beam is switched on the
symbol also illuminates in the combined instrument panel. This also applies for Xenonheadlamps if the main beam is partially dimmed, i.e. as soon as the light beam shineswith slightly more than dipped beam. Car with digital combined instrument panel When AHB is activated the
symbol
turns white in the instrument's information display. When main beam is activated, the symbol shines blue. This also applies for Xenon head-lamps if the main beam is partially dimmed,i.e. as soon as the light beam shines withslightly more than dipped beam.
Manual operation
NOTE
Keep the windscreen surface in front of the camera sensor free from ice, snow, mistand dirt. Do not stick or attach anything to the windscreen in front of the camera sensoras this may reduce effectiveness or causeone or more of the systems dependent onthe camera to stop working.
If the message Active main beam
