Parking brake appliedThis symbol illuminates with a constant glowwhen the parking brake is applied. The sym-bol flashes during application, and thenchanges over to a constant glow. A flashing symbol in any other situation means that a fault has arisen. Read the mes-sage on the information display. For more information, see Parking brake (p. 293).
Airbags – SRSIf this symbol remains illuminated or illumi-nates while driving, it means a fault has beendetected in the seatbelt buckle, SRS, SIPS, orIC systems. Drive immediately to a workshopto have the system checked. Volvo recom-mends that you seek assistance from anauthorised Volvo workshop.
Seatbelt reminderThis symbol flashes if someone in a front seathas not put on their seatbelt or if someone ina rear seat has taken off their seatbelt.
Alternator not chargingThis symbol illuminates during driving if afault has occurred in the electrical system.Visit a workshop. Volvo recommends that youseek assistance from an authorised Volvoworkshop.
Fault in brake systemIf this symbol illuminates, the brake fluid levelmay be too low. Stop the car in a safe placeand check the level in the brake fluid reser-voir; see Brake and clutch fluid - level (p.350). If the brake and ABS symbols illuminate at the same time, there may be a fault in thebrake force distribution system.
1. Stop the car in a safe place and turn offthe engine.
2. Restart the engine.
•If both symbols extinguish, continue driving.
• If the symbols remain illuminated,check the level in the brake fluid reser-voir, see Brake and clutch fluid - level(p. 350). If the brake fluid level is nor-mal but the symbols are still illumi-nated, the car can be driven, with greatcare, to a workshop to have the brakesystem checked. Volvo recommendsthat you seek assistance from anauthorised Volvo workshop.
WARNING
If the brake fluid is under the
MIN level in
the brake fluid reservoir, do not drive fur- ther before topping up the brake fluid. The loss of brake fluid must be investiga- ted by a workshop. Volvo recommendsthat you contact an authorised Volvoworkshop.
WARNING
If the BRAKE and ABS symbols are lit at the same time, there is a risk that the rearend will skid during heavy braking.
WarningThe red warning symbol illuminates when a fault has been indicated which could affectthe safety and/or driveability of the car. Anexplanatory text is shown on the informationdisplay at the same time. The symbol remainsvisible until the fault has been rectified but thetext message can be cleared with the OK

Automatic dimming*Bright light from behind is automatically dimmed by the rearview mirror. The controlfor manual dimming is not available on mir-rors with automatic dimming. The rearview mirror contains two sensors - one forward facing and one rearward facing -that work together to identify and eliminatedazzling light. The forward facing sensordetects ambient light, while the rearward fac-ing sensor detects the light from vehicleheadlights behind.
NOTE
If the sensors are obscured by e.g. parking permits, transponders, sun visors orobjects in the seats or in the cargo area insuch a way that light is prevented fromreaching the sensors, then the dimmingfunction of the interior rearview and doormirrors is reduced.
The compass (p. 97) can only be specified for a rearview mirror with automatic dimming.

• Door mirrors (p. 94)
Compass*
The rearview mirror contains an integrated display that shows the compass direction inwhich the front of the car is pointing.
Operation
Rearview mirror with compass.
The upper right-hand corner of the rearview mirror has an integrated display that showsthe compass direction in which the front ofthe car is pointing. Eight different directions are shown with English abbreviations:
N(north), NE (north east), E (east), SE (south
east), S (south), SW (south west), W (west)
and NW (north west).
The compass is activated automatically when the car is started or when key position II is
active, see Key positions - functions at differ-ent levels (p. 70). To deactivate/activate thecompass - press in the button on the under- side of the mirror using a paper clip for exam-ple.
CalibrationThe compass may need calibrating to showthe correct compass direction. The earth is divided into 15 magnetic zones. The compass should be calibrated if the caris moved across several magnetic zones. Proceed as follows to perform calibration:
1. Stop the car in a large open area free
from steel structures and high-voltage power lines.
2. Start the car and switch off all electrical equipment (air conditioning, wipers, etc.)and ensure that all doors are closed.
NOTE
Calibration may fail or not start at all if electrical equipment is not switched off.
3. Hold the button on the underside of therearview mirror depressed approx. 3 seconds. The number of thecurrent magnetic zone is shown.

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.115
General information on climate control
The car is equipped with electronic climate
control (p. 121). The climate control systemcools or heats as well as dehumidifies the airin the passenger compartment.
NOTE
Air conditioning (AC) (p. 124) can be switched off, but to ensure the best possi-ble climate comfort in the passenger com-partment, and to prevent the windowsfrom misting, it should always be switchedon.
To bear in mind
• To ensure that the air conditioning works optimally, the side windows and sunroof*should be closed.
• Total airing function (p. 166) opens/closes all side windows simultaneouslyand can be used for example to quicklyair the car during hot weather.
• Remove ice and snow from the climatecontrol system air intake (the grillebetween the bonnet and the windscreen).
• In warm weather, condensation from theair conditioning may drip under the car.This is normal.
• When the engine requires full power, e.g.for full acceleration or driving uphill with atrailer, the air conditioning can be tempo-rarily switched off. There may then be a temporary increase in temperature in thepassenger compartment.
• Remove misting on the insides of the win-dows primarily by using the defrosterfunction (p. 125). To reduce the risk ofmisting, keep the windows clean and usewindow cleaner.
Cars with Start/Stop*With an auto-stopped (p. 279) engine certain equipment may have its function temporarilyreduced, e.g. climate control fan speed (p.123).
Cars with ECO*Certain equipment may have its function tem-porarily reduced or deactivated when theECO (p. 288) function is activated, e.g. the airconditioning (p. 124).
NOTE
When the ECO function is activated, sev- eral parameters in the climate control sys-tem's settings are changed, and severalelectricity consumer functions are reduced- a press of the
AC button resets the cli-
mate control system, but then withreduced AC function.

Demisting and defrosting the windscreen
Heated windscreen* and max. defroster are used to quickly remove misting and ice fromthe windscreen and side windows.
The selected setting is shown in the centre con- sole's screen.
Electric heating*
Max. defroster
The light in the defroster but- ton illuminates when thefunction is active. Press the button repeatedly in order to activate the func-tion.
For cars without heated windscreen:• Air flows to the windows - symbol (2) illu- minates in the screen.
• Switch off the function - no symbol illumi-nates.
For cars with heated windscreen:
• Start the heating for the windscreen 2
-
symbol (1) illuminates in the screen.
• Start the heating for the windscreen 2
and
air flow to the windows - symbols (1) and(2) illuminate in the screen.
• Switch off the function - no symbol illumi-nates.
NOTE
Heated windscreen and IR window (p. 17) may have an impact on the performance oftransponders and other communicationequipment.
NOTE
A triangular area at the end of each side of the windscreen is not electrically heated,where de-icing may take longer.
NOTE
Electrically heated windscreen is not avail- able when the engine is auto-stopped (p.279).
The following also takes place in order to pro- vide maximum dehumidification in the pas-senger compartment:
• the air conditioning is automatically engaged
• recirculation and the air quality systemare automatically disengaged.
NOTE
The noise level increases as the fan is operating at max.
When the defroster is switched off the climate control returns to the previous settings.
