Utilized power
The larger, lower indicator shows the amount of engine power that has been utilized2
. The higher
the reading on the scale, the greater the amount of power that is being utilized. The larger the gap between the two indicators, the greater the amount of power remaining.Information displays – indicator symbols
The indicator symbols alert the driver when cer- tain functions are activated, that a system isactively working or that a fault may have occur-red in a system or function.

Information displays – ambient temperature sensor
Location of the ambient temperature sensor, A: digital instrument panel *, B: analog instrument panel
NOTE
When the ambient temperature is between 23° and 36 °F (–5° and +2 °C), a snowflakesymbol will be displayed next to the tempera-ture. This symbol serves as a warning for pos-sible slippery road surfaces. Please note that this symbol does not indicate a fault with your
vehicle. At low speeds or when the vehicle is not mov- ing, the temperature readings may be slightlyhigher than the actual ambient temperature.

Active high beams (AHB) *
AHB uses a camera at the upper edge of the windshield to detect the headlights of oncomingvehicles or the taillights of a vehicle directlyahead. When this happens, the headlights willautomatically switch from high beams to lowbeams. When the camera no longer detects theheadlights/taillights of other vehicles, your head-lights will switch back to high beams after sev-eral seconds.
To activate AHB:
• Turn the headlight control to the
posi-
tion.
The feature will begin functioning if the engine has been running for at least 20 seconds and thevehicle's speed is at least 12 mph (20 km/h).
Headlight switch in the AUTO position
Switch AHB on or off by pulling the left steering wheel lever rearward (toward the steering wheel)as far as possible and releasing it. If AHB isswitched off while the high beams are on, theheadlights will change to low beams.
Models with an analog instrument panel
When AHB is activated, the symbol will
illuminate in the instrument panel. The high beam indicator (
) in the instrument panel will also
illuminate when the high beams are on.
Models with a digital instrument panel
When AHB is activated, will illuminate as a
white symbol in the instrument panel. When the
high beams are on, the symbol will change to blue.
NOTE
• Keep the windshield in front of the cam- era free of ice, snow, dirt, etc.
• Do not mount or in any way attach any-thing on the windshield that couldobstruct the camera.
If Active high beam Temporary unavailable
Switch manually is displayed in the instrument
panel, switching between high and low beams will have to be done manually. However, the light switch can remain in the
position. The
same applies if Windscreen Sensors blocked
is displayed and the symbol is displayed.
The
symbol will go out when these mes-
sages are displayed. AHB may be temporarily unavailable (e.g., in heavy fog or rain). When AHB becomes activeagain or if the sensors in the windshield are nolonger obscured, the messages will disappear and the
symbol will illuminate.
CAUTION
In the following situations, it may be neces- sary to switch between high and low beamsmanually:
• In heavy fog or rain
• In blowing snow or slush

Single sweep
Move the lever upward from position 0
to sweep the windshield one stroke at a time for as long as the lever is held
up.
Intermittent wiping
With the lever in this position, you can set the wiper interval by twisting thethumb wheel upward to increase wiper
speed or downward to decrease the speed.
Continuous wiping
The wipers operate at normal speed.
The wipers operate at high speed.
Windshield wiper service position
The windshield wipers must be in the service position before the wiper blades can be cleanedor replaced. See Wiper blades – service position(p. 342) for additional information.

Rain sensor
*
The rain sensor automatically regulates wiper speed according to the amount of water on thewindshield.
The sensitivity of the rain sensor can be adjusted moving the thumb wheel up (the wipers willsweep the windshield more frequently) or down(the wipers will sweep the windshield less fre-quently).
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 sensitivity
When activating the rain sensor, the vehicle must be running or in ignition mode II and the wind-
shield wiper lever must be in position 0 or in the
single sweep position. Activate the rain sensor by pressing the button
. 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 to position 0 .

CAUTION
The rain sensor should be deactivated when washing the car in an automatic car wash, etc.If the rain sensor function is left on, the wip-ers will start inadvertently in the car wash andcould be damaged.
Windshield washer
Move the lever toward the steering wheel to start the windshield and headlight washers. After thelever is released the wipers make several extrasweeps.
Washing function
Heated washer nozzles *The washer nozzles are heated automatically in cold weather to help prevent the washer fluidfrom freezing.
High-pressure headlight washing *High-pressure headlight washing consumes alarge quantity of washer fluid. To save fluid, theheadlights are washed using two alternatives:
• Low/high beam headlights on.
The head-
lights will be washed the first time the wind-shield is washed. Thereafter, the headlightswill only be washed once for every five times the windshield is washed within a 10-minuteperiod.
• Parking lights on.
Optional Active Bending
Lights will be washed once for every fivetimes the windshield is washed. Normal halo-gen headlights will not be washed.
CAUTION
• Use ample washer fluid when washing the windshield. The windshield should bethoroughly wet when the wipers are inoperation.
• When approx. 1 US quart (1 liter) ofwasher fluid remains in the reservoir, theheadlights will no longer be washed. Atext message will also be displayed toremind the driver to fill the washer fluidreservoir.

Climate – general information
The vehicle is equipped with Electronic Climate
Control (ECC) (p. 130) that cools, heats ordehumidifies the air in the passenger compart-ment.
Air conditioning
NOTE
• The air conditioning can be switched off, but to ensure the best possible climatecomfort in the passenger compartmentand to prevent the windows from misting,it should always be on.
• In warm weather, a small amount of watermay accumulate under the car when ithas been parked. This water is condensa-tion from the A/C system and is normal.
Side windows and laminated panoramic roof
To ensure that the air conditioning works opti- mally, the side windows, and the laminated panor-amic roof should be closed.
Fog on the inside of the windowsThe defroster function (p. 133) should be usedto remove fog or mist from the inside of the win-dows. Keeping the windows clean with a com-mercially available window washing spray will alsohelp prevent fogging or misting.
Temporary shut-off of the air conditioning
The air conditioning (p. 133) is momentarily dis- engaged during full acceleration or when drivinguphill with a trailer. This may result in a temporaryincrease in cabin temperature.
Ice and snowAlways keep the air intake grille at the base ofthe windshield free of snow.
Climate system maintenanceSpecial tools and equipment are required tomaintain and carry out repairs on the climate sys-tem. Work of this type should only be done by atrained and qualified Volvo service technician.
RefrigerantVolvo cares about the environment. The air condi-tioning system in your car contains a CFC-freerefrigerant – R134a. This substance will notdeplete the ozone layer. The air conditioning sys-tem contains 1.76 lbs (800 g) of R134a. Thesystems uses PAG oil.

Climate – sensors
The climate system utilizes a number of sensors to help regulate the temperature and humiditylevel in the passenger compartment.
Sensor location
• The sunlight sensor is located on the top side of the dashboard.
NOTE
The sunlight sensor monitors which side of the car that is most exposed to sunlight. Thiscan mean that the temperature may differbetween the right and left-side air vents, evenif the temperatures set for both sides of thepassenger compartment are the same.
•
The temperature sensor for the passenger compartment is located below the climatecontrol panel.
• The outside (ambient) temperature sensor islocated on the door mirror.
• The humidity sensor
* is located in the interior
rearview mirror.
NOTE
Do not cover or block the sensors with cloth- ing or other objects.
