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

Auxiliary lights *
If the vehicle is fitted with auxiliary lights, the driver can use the MY CAR menu system to
choose to deactivate and turn these lights onand off along with the high beam headlights.
The auxiliary lights must be connected to the vehicle's electrical system, which should only bedone by a trained and authorized Volvo servicetechnician. See My Car – introduction (p. 77) formore information about the menu system.
Instrument and "theater" lighting
Instrument lightingIllumination of the display and instrument lights will vary, depending on ignition mode. The display lighting is automatically subdued in darkness and the sensitivity is set with the thumbwheel. The intensity of the instrument lighting is adjusted with the thumb wheel.
"Theater" lightingWhen the overhead courtesy lighting has goneout and the engine is running, several LEDslocated near the roof console illuminate to pro-vide faint lighting for the occupants of the frontseats. This lighting goes out just after the over-head courtesy lighting when the vehicle is locked.

Deactivating
Deactivate the rain sensor by pressing the button
or press the lever down to another wiper
position. The rain sensor is automatically deactivated when the key is removed from the ignition slot or fiveminutes after the ignition has been switched off.
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.

Digital compass*
The rear-view mirror has an integrated display that shows the compass direction in which thevehicle 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 (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, paperclip or simi- lar object and press in the button on the under-side of the mirror.
CalibrationNorth America is divided into 15 magnetic zonesand the compass will need to be calibrated if thevehicle is driven into a new one (see the mag-netic zones on the map in the following section"Selecting a magnetic zone"). To do so:
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. 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 dis-
played. See the magnetic zones on the map in the following section "Selecting a mag-netic zone").
6. Wait until
C is again displayed in the mirror.
7. 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.
8. Drive around in a circle an additional two times to fine-tune the calibration.
9. Vehicles with an electrically heated wind- shield: * if
C is displayed when the heating
function is activated, perform step 7 with the heating function on. See also Max. defroster and electrically heated windshield * (p. 133)
for additional information about the heated windshield.
Repeat the calibration procedure if necessary.
20 The auto-dim function is also available as an option on the door mirrors.

Panoramic roof * – introduction
The laminated panoramic roof is divided into two sections. The rear glass section is fixed in placeand cannot be moved but the front glass sectioncan be slid horizontally to the open or closedpositions or its rear edge can be raised and low-ered to allow ventilation.
IntroductionAll references in this section to opening or clos- ing the panoramic roof pertain to the front glasssection. The laminated panoramic roof also has a sun shade made of perforated fabric that is locatedbelow the sections of glass. This shade can beopened or closed, for example when driving inbright sunlight.
Both the laminated panoramic roof and the sun shade are operated by the controls in the ceiling console, near the rear-view mirror. The vehicle's ignition must be in mode
I or II before the lami-
nated panoramic roof/sun shade can be oper- ated.
CAUTION
• Remove ice and snow before opening the laminated panoramic roof.
• Do not operate the laminated panoramicroof if it is frozen closed.
• Never place heavy objects on the lamina-ted panoramic roof.
Wind blocker
The laminated panoramic roof is equipped with a wind blocker that folds up when the roof is open.
