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. 21
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.

Digital compass*
The rear-view mirror has an integrated display that shows the compass direction in whichthe vehicle is traveling.
Operation
Rearview mirror with compass.
Eight 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).
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.
21The auto-dim function is also available as an option on the door mirrors.

327
Maintenance – owner maintenance
Periodic maintenance requirements and inter- vals are described in your vehicle's Warrantyand Service Records Information booklet. The following points can be carried out between the normally scheduled maintenanceservices.
Owner maintenance
Each time the car is refueled:
•Check the engine oil level.
• Clean the windshield, windshield wipers, headlights, and taillights.
Monthly:
• Check cold tire pressure in all tires. Inspect the tires for wear.
• Check that engine coolant and other fluidlevels are between the indicated "min"and "max" markings.
• Clean interior glass surfaces with a glasscleaner and soft paper towels.
• Wipe driver information displays with asoft cloth.
• Visually inspect battery terminals for cor-rosion. Corrosion may indicate a looseterminal connector, or a battery near theend of its useful service life. Consult yourVolvo retailer for additional information.
As needed:Wash the car, including the undercarriage, to reduce wear that can be caused by a buildup of dirt, and corrosion that can be caused bysalt residues. Clean leaves and twigs from air intake vents at the base of the windshield, and from otherplaces where they may collect.
