Instrument panel App menu The App (application) menu in the instrument panel provides quick access to commonly usedfunctions in certain apps.
In some cases, the App menu can be used instead of the center display
The App menu is displayed in the instrument panel and is controlled using the right-side steer-ing wheel keypad. This menu makes it possible totoggle between apps or functions in apps withoutremoving your hands from the steering wheel.

Hybrid-related information in the instrument panel
Different types of information will be displayed in the instrument panel, depending on the drivemode selected. These drive modes offer uniqueways of helping the driver achieve the best pos-sible driving economy. The vehicle also stores driving statistics that can be viewed in the form of a bar graph.
Hybrid-unique symbolsThe various gauges and indicators in the instru- ment panel show the relationship between theelectric motor's current power consumption andthe remaining power available.
Indicates the currently available outputfrom the electric motor. A solid symbolindicates that the electric motor isbeing used.
Indicates the currently available output from the electric motor. A hollow sym-bol means that the electric motor is not being used.
Indicates the output level when the gasoline engine starts. A solid symbolindicates that the gasoline engine isbeing used.
Indicates the output level when the gasoline engine will start. A hollowsymbol indicates that the gasoline engine is not being used.
Indicates that the hybrid battery is being charged.
Indicates the current charge level in the electric motor's battery. This indica-tor is located by the hybrid batterygauge in the lower right corner.
eDTE (Electrical Distance To Empty) indicator (distance until the hybrid bat-tery is discharged).
The hybrid gauge
Available electric motor output
This hybrid battery indicator is located between the hybrid gauge and the fuel gauge on the lowerright side of the instrument panel. It indicates thecurrent (charge level) remaining in the hybrid bat-tery, which can be used to power the electricmotor or to heat/cool the vehicle.

Power utilized by the driver
The indicator shows the amount of power utilized (requested) by the driver through pressure on theaccelerator pedal. The higher the reading on thescale, the greater the amount of power utilized inthe current gear. The mark between the "light-ning" and "drop" symbols is the point at whichthe electric motor switches off and the gasolineengine starts.
Examples
The vehicle has started but is stationary and no power is being utilized.
The electric motor alone cannot provide the power requested and the gasoline engine willstart.
The vehicle is generating current to recharge the battery, e.g., during moderate braking or duringengine braking on a downslope.
The Save drive mode
The Save drive mode is activated. The battery's charge level is locked at the level it was at whenthis drive mode was activated, which is shown by the
symbol near the battery indicator. The
control system maintains this charge level by using the gasoline engine intermittently (in thesame way as in the Hybrid drive mode). If thehybrid battery's charge level was below 33%when Save was activated, the gasoline engine willbe used to charge the hybrid battery up to thislevel.

SymbolMeaning
Oil pressure If the symbol illuminates during driving, stop the vehicle, theengine oil level is too low. Stop theengine immediately and check theengine oil level. Add oil if neces-sary. If the oil level is normal andthe symbol remains illuminated,have the vehicle towed to thenearest authorized Volvo work-shop or trained and qualified Volvoservice technician.

WARNING
• If the fluid level is below the
MIN mark in
the brake fluid reservoir or if a warning message is displayed in the text window: DO NOT DRIVE . Have the vehicle towed
to a trained and qualified Volvo service technician and have the brake systeminspected.
• If the
BRAKE and ABS symbols illumi-
nate at the same time, there is a risk ofreduced vehicle stability.

Compass
The rear-view mirror has an integrated compass that shows the direction in which the vehicle istraveling.
Rearview mirror with compass
Eight different directions are shown with the abbreviations: N (north) NE (northeast) E (east),SE (southeast) S (south), SW (southwest) W(west) NW (northwest)
Switching the compass on/offThe compass is displayed automatically when the vehicle is started or in ignition mode II.
To switch the compass on/off:
–Use a pen, paperclip or similar object and press in the button on the underside of themirror.

• Ignition modes (p. 370)
Calibrating the compass
North America is divided into 15 magnetic zones and the compass will need to be calibrated if thevehicle is driven from one zone to another.
To calibrate the compass:
1. Stop the vehicle in a large open area, safely out of traffic and away from steel structures and high-tension electrical wires.
2. Start the vehicle.
NOTE
• For best calibration results, switch off all electrical equipment in the vehicle (climatesystem, windshield wipers, audio system,etc.) and make sure that all doors areclosed.
• Calibration may not succeed or be incor-rect if the vehicle's electrical equipment isnot switched off.
3. Using a pen, paperclip or similar object, press
and hold the button on the underside of mir- ror for approx. 3 seconds until the number ofthe current magnetic zone is displayed.

5. Wait until
C is again displayed in the mirror
or hold the button on the underside of mirror for approx. 6 seconds until

the mirror.
6. Drive slowly in a circle at a speed of no more than 6 mph (10 km/h) until a direction is dis- played. This indicates that calibration is com-plete. Drive around in a circle an additionaltwo times to fine-tune the calibration.
7. Vehicles with an electrically heated wind- shield: * if
C is displayed when the heating
function is activated, perform step 6 with the heating function on. 8. Repeat the calibration procedure if neces-
sary.
