Automatically tilting the door mirrors when parking
The door mirrors can tilt down automatically to help give the driver a better view along thesides of the vehicle, for example when paral-lel parking. When the transmission is nolonger in reverse, the mirrors will automati-cally return to their original position. This function can be activated/deactivated in MY CAR under

tion of the menu system.
Resetting to neutralMirrors that have been moved out of position by an external force must be electrically reset to the neutral position for electric retracting/extending to work. •
Retract the mirrors with the
L and R but-
tons.
• Fold them out again with the
L and R but-
tons.
The mirrors are now reset in neutral position.
Home safe and approach lightingThe light on the door mirrors comes on when approach lighting or home safe lighting isselected, see page 108.

The indicator lightsin the respective buttons indicate that thefunction is active. Switch the function offwhen then windshield/rear window/mirrorshave cleared to help avoid battery drain.Theheating function will also switch off automati-cally after a certain amount of time.

Interior rearview mirror
Auto-dim functionThe interior rearview mirror’s auto-dim func- tion is controlled by two sensors: one point-ing forward (located on the forward-facingside of the mirror, which monitors the amountof ambient light) and one pointing rearward(located on the side of the mirror facing thedriver at the upper edge, which senses thestrength of following vehicles' headlights), and work together to help eliminate glare. 1

The auto-dim function is also available as an option on the door mirrors.

NOTE
Obstructing the forward sensor with e.g., parking stickers, transponders, etc., or therear sensor by loading the cargo area orthe rear seat in such a way that light isprevented from reaching the sensor willreduce the auto-dim function in the interiorrearview mirror and optional auto-dimfunction in the door mirrors.

Digial compass*
03
}}
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.117
Operation
Rearview mirror with compass.
The rear-view mirror has an integrated display that shows the compass direction in whichthe vehicle is pointing. Eight different direc- tions are shown with the abbreviations:
N(north), NE (north east), E (east), SE (south-
east), 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, paper-clip or similar object and press in the buttonon the underside of the mirror.
CalibrationNorth America is divided into 15 magneticzones and the compass will need to be cali- brated if the vehicle is driven into a new one(see the magnetic zones on the map in thefollowing section "Selecting a magneticzone"). To do so:
1. Stop the vehicle in a large open area,
safely out of traffic and away from steel structures and high-tension electricalwires.
2. Start the vehicle.
NOTE
• For best calibration results, switch off all electrical equipment in the vehicle(climate system, windshield wipers,audio system, etc.) and make sure thatall doors are closed.
• Calibration may not succeed or beincorrect if the vehicle's electricalequipment is not switched off.
3. Using a pen, paperclip or similar object,
press and hold the button on the under- side of mirror for approx. 6 seconds until
C is displayed in the mirror.
4. Press and hold the button for 3 seconds until the number of the current magnetic zone is displayed. 5. Press the button repeatedly until the
number of the desired magnetic zone (
1-15) is displayed. See the magnetic
zones on the map in the following section "Selecting a magnetic zone").
6. Wait until
C is again displayed in the mir-
ror.
7. Drive slowly in a circle at a speed of no more than 6 mph (10 km/h) until a direc- tion is displayed. This indicates that cali-bration is complete.
8. Drive around in a circle an additional two times to fine-tune the calibration.
9. Vehicles with an electrically heated windshield:
* if
C is displayed when the
heating function is activated, perform step 7 with the heating function on. Seealso page 231 for additional informationabout the heated windshield.
Repeat the calibration procedure if neces-sary.

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

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.119
Introduction
The moonroof controls are located in the ceil- ing console near the rearview mirror. Themoonroof can be opened vertically and hori-zontally. The vehicle's ignition must be inmode I or II for the moonroof to be operated.
CAUTION
• Remove ice and snow before opening the moonroof.
• Do not operate the moonroof if it isfrozen closed.
• Never place heavy objects on themoonroof.

WARNING
Before starting the engine:
• Fasten the seat belt.
• Check that the seat, steering wheel and mirrors are adjusted properly.
• Make sure the brake pedal can bedepressed completely. Adjust the seatif necessary.
WARNING
•Never use more than one floor mat at a time on the driver's floor. An extramat on the driver's floor can cause theaccelerator and/or brake pedal tocatch. Check that the movement ofthese pedals is not impeded.
• Volvo's floor mats are specially manu-factured for your car. They must befirmly secured in the clips on the floorso that they cannot slide and becometrapped under the pedals on the driv-er's side.

will operate the starter motor until the engine starts or until its overheating func-tion stops it. The starter motor operates for a maxi- mum of 10 seconds. If the engine has notstarted, repeat the procedure.
CAUTION
If the engine does not start after the third try, wait for approximately 3 minutesbefore trying to start it again to give thebattery time to recover its startingcapacity.
NOTE
Keyless drive *
To start a vehicle equipped with the key- less drive feature, one of the remote keysmust be in the passenger compartment.Follow the instructions in steps 2 and 3 tostart the vehicle.
1 On vehicles with the optional keyless drive, it is only necessary to have a remote key in the passenger’s compartment.

Blind Spot Information System (BLIS)*
04
210* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Introduction
BLIS is an information system that indicates the presence of another vehicle moving in thesame direction as your vehicle on roads withseveral lanes. The system helps provide infor-mation about:
• Other vehicles in your door mirrors' "blind area"
• Vehicles that are about to pass your vehi-cle in the left and/or right lanes
• Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) is a supple- mentary BLIS function
intended to
detect vehicles crossing behind your vehicle while you are backing up.WARNING
• BLIS and CTA are information sys- tems, NOT warning or safety systemsand do not function in all situations.
• BLIS and CTA do not eliminate theneed for you to visually confirm theconditions around you, and the needfor you to turn your head and should-ers to make sure that you can safelychange lanes or back up.
• As the driver, you have full responsibil-ity for changing lanes/backing up in asafe manner.

NOTE
The door panel indicator light illuminates on the side of the vehicle where the sys-tem has detected another vehicle. If yourvehicle is passed on both sides at thesame time, both lights will illuminate.
BLIS and CTA are activated when the engine is started; this is confirmed when the indica-tor lights on the front door panels flash once.
