Windshield wipers
Move the lever toward the steering wheel to start the windshield and headlight washers.After the lever is released the wipers makeseveral extra sweeps.
CAUTION
• Use ample washer fluid when washing the windshield. The windshield shouldbe thoroughly wet when the wipers arein operation.
• Before using the wipers, ice and snowshould be removed from the wind-shield/rear window. Be sure the wiperblades are not frozen in place.
Windshield wipers offMove the lever to position
0 to
switch off the windshield wipers.
Single sweepMove the lever upward from posi- tion 0 to sweep the windshield one
stroke at a time for as long as the
lever is held up.
Intermittent wipingWith the lever in this position, you can set the wiper interval by twistingthe thumb wheel upward to increase
wiper speed or downward to decrease thespeed.
Continuous wipingThe wipers operate at normal speed.
The wipers operate at high speed.

Rain sensor*
The rain sensor automatically regulates wiper speed according to the amount of water onthe windshield. The sensitivity of the rain sensor can be adjusted moving the thumb wheel up (thewipers will sweep the windshield more fre-quently) or down (the wipers will sweep thewindshield less frequently).
NOTE
The wipers will make an extra sweep each time the thumb wheel is adjusted upward.
When the rain sensor is activated, the symbol
will illuminate in the instrument panel.
Activating and setting the sensitivityWhen activating the rain sensor, the vehicle must be running or in ignition mode
II and the
windshield wiper lever must be in position 0
or in the single sweep position. Activate the rain sensor by pressing the but- ton
. The windshield wipers will make
one sweep. Press the lever up for the wipers to make an extra sweep. The rain sensor returns to activemode when the stalk is released back toposition 0.

or press the lever down to
another wiper position. The rain sensor is automatically deactivated when the key is removed from the ignitionslot or five minutes after the ignition has beenswitched off.
CAUTION
The rain sensor should be deactivated when washing the car in an automatic carwash, etc. If the rain sensor function is lefton, the wipers will start inadvertently in thecar wash and could be damaged.
Windshield washer
Move the lever toward the steering wheel to start the windshield and headlight washers.After the lever is released the wipers makeseveral extra sweeps.
Heated washer nozzles*The washer nozzles are heated automaticallyin cold weather to help prevent the washerfluid from freezing.
High-pressure headlight washing*High-pressure headlight washing consumes alarge quantity of washer fluid. To save fluid,the headlights are washed using two alterna-tives:
• Low/high beam headlights on.
The
headlights will be washed the first time the windshield is washed. Thereafter, theheadlights will only be washed once forevery five times the windshield is washedwithin a 10-minute period.
• Parking lights on.
Optional Active Bend-
ing Lights will be washed once for everyfive times the windshield is washed. Nor-mal halogen headlights will not bewashed.
CAUTION
• Use ample washer fluid when washing the windshield. The windshield shouldbe thoroughly wet when the wipers arein operation.
• When approx. 1 US quart (1 liter) ofwasher fluid remains in the reservoir,the headlights will no longer bewashed. A text message will also bedisplayed to remind the driver to fill thewasher fluid reservoir.

Tailgate wiper/washer
The tailgate wiper operates at two speeds: intermittent and continuous.
NOTE
The rear wiper is equipped with a cut-off function, which means that it will not oper-ate if its electric motor overheats. Thewiper will function again after a cool-downperiod (30 seconds or longer, dependingon the heat of the motor and ambient tem-perature conditions).
Tailgate wiper and reverse gearIf the windshield wipers are on and the trans- mission is put into reverse gear, the tailgatewiper will go into intermittent wiping func- tion18
. This function is deactivated when a dif-
ferent gear is selected.
NOTE
On vehicles with the optional rain sensor, the tailgate wiper will be activated whenreverse is selected, if the rain sensor isactivated and it is raining.
If the tailgate wiper is in the normal (continu- ous) wiping mode, selecting different gearswill not affect its function.

Interior rearview mirror
The interior rearview mirror has an auto-dim function that helps reduce glare from follow-ing vehicle's headlights.
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.
NOTE

• Power door mirrors (p. 87)
Digital compass*
The rear-view mirror has an integrated display that shows the compass direction in whichthe vehicle is traveling.
OperationEight different directions are shown with the abbreviations: N (north), NE (north east), E(east), SE (southeast), S (south), SW (south-
west), W (west) and NW (northwest).
CalibrationNorth America is divided into 15 magnetic zones 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.
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.

Therefore, vehicles or objects with low-reflec- tive surfaces may not be detected. Normally,the license plate and taillight reflectors givethe rear section of a vehicle ahead sufficientreflective surfaces to be detected.
NOTE
•
Keep the windshield in front of the laser sensor free of ice, snow, dirt,etc., see City Safety – function(p. 169).
• Snow or ice on the hood deeper than2 inches (5 cm) may obstruct the sen-sor. Keep the hood free of ice andsnow.
• Do not mount or in any way attachanything on the windshield that couldobstruct the laser sensor.

Troubleshooting
If Windscreen Sensors blocked appears in
the information display, this indicates that the City Safety™ laser sensor is obstructed insome way and cannot detect vehicles aheadof you, which means that the system is notfunctioning. However, this message will not be displayed in all situations in which the sensor isobstructed. For this reason, the driver mustensure that the area of the windshield in frontof the sensor is always kept clean. The following table shows some of the situa- tions that can cause the message to be dis-played and suggested actions.
CauseAction
The area of the wind- shield in front of the sen-sor is dirty or covered byice or snow.Clean the windshield orremove the ice/snow.
The laser sensor's field of view is obstructed.Remove the obstruction.
NOTE
If a crack, scratch or stone chip should occur in the section of the windshield infront the laser sensor, contact a trainedand qualified Volvo service technician torepair or replace the windshield (see theillustration showing the location of the sen-sor in City Safety – function (p. 169)). Fail-ing to do so may result in reduced CitySafety™ functionality. To help prevent limited or reduced func- tionality, please also observe the following:
• Volvo recommends that cracks, scratches or stone chips on the wind-shield in front of the laser sensorshould not
be repaired; in such cases,
the entire windshield should bereplaced.
• Before the windshield is replaced,contact a Volvo retailer to ensure thatthe correct windshield is ordered andinstalled. If the wrong type of wind-shield is used, this may cause CitySafety™ to function improperly or notat all. Volvo recommends the use ofonly Genuine Volvo ReplacementWindshields.
• When replacing windshield wipers, usethe same type or ones approved byVolvo.

Driving in cold weather
Check your vehicle before the approach of cold weather. The following advice is worth noting:
• Make sure that the engine cool- ant (p. 288) contains 50 percent anti-freeze. Any other mixture will reducefreeze protection. This gives protectionagainst freezing down to –31 °F (–35 °C).The use of "recycled" antifreeze is notapproved by Volvo. Different types ofantifreeze must not be mixed.
• Volvo recommends using only genuineVolvo antifreeze in your vehicle's radiator.
• Try to keep the fuel tank well filled – thishelps prevent the formation of condensa-tion in the tank. In addition, in extremelycold weather conditions it is worthwhileto add fuel line de-icer before refueling.
• The viscosity of the engine oil is impor-tant. Oil with low viscosity (thinner oil)improves cold-weather starting as well asdecreasing fuel consumption while theengine is warming up. Full synthetic0W-30 oil is recommended for driving inareas with sustained low temperatures.
• The load placed on the battery is greaterduring the winter since the windshieldwipers, lighting, etc., are used moreoften. Moreover, the capacity of the bat-tery decreases as the temperature drops.In very cold weather, a poorly chargedbattery can freeze and be damaged. It is therefore advisable to check the state ofcharge more frequently and spray an anti-rust oil on the battery posts.
• Volvo recommends the use of snow tireson all four wheels for winter driving, seeSnow tires/studded tires (p. 265).
• To prevent the washer fluid (p. 295)reser-voir from freezing, add washer solventscontaining antifreeze. This is importantsince dirt is often splashed on the wind-shield during winter driving, requiring thefrequent use of the washers and wipers.Volvo Washer Solvent should be dilutedas follows: Down to 14 °F (–10 °C): 1 partwasher solvent and 4 parts water Downto 5 °F (–15 °C): 1 part washer solventand 3 parts water Down to 0 °F (–18 °C):1 part washer solvent and 2 parts waterDown to –18 °F (–28 °C): 1 part washersolvent and 1 part water.
• Use Volvo Teflon Lock Spray in the locks.
• Avoid using de-icing sprays as they cancause damage to the locks.
