Windshield wipers off
Move the lever to position
0 to switch
off the windshield wipers.
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.

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 .

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.

The rear wiper is equipped with a cut-off function, which means that it will not operateif its electric motor overheats. The wiper willfunction again after a cool-down period(30 seconds or longer, depending on the heatof the motor and ambient temperature condi-tions).
Tailgate wiper and reverse gearIf the windshield wipers are on and the transmis- sion is put into reverse gear, the tailgate wiper will go into intermittent wiping function 19
. This
function is deactivated when a different gear is selected.
NOTE

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.

206may not be detected. Normally, the license plate and taillight reflectors give the rear section of avehicle ahead sufficient reflective surfaces to bedetected.
NOTE
•
Keep the windshield in front of the laser sensor free of ice, snow, dirt, etc., see CitySafety – function (p. 204).
• Snow or ice on the hood deeper than2 inches (5 cm) may obstruct the sensor.Keep the hood free of ice and snow.
• Do not mount or in any way attach any-thing on the windshield that couldobstruct the laser sensor.

City Safety – troubleshooting
TroubleshootingIf Windscreen Sensors blocked appears in the
information display, this indicates that the City Safety ™ laser sensor is obstructed in some way
and cannot detect vehicles ahead of you, which means that the system is not functioning. However, this message will not be displayed in all situations in which the sensor is obstructed. Forthis reason, the driver must ensure that the areaof the windshield in front of the sensor is alwayskept clean. The following table shows some of the situations that can cause the message to be displayed andsuggested actions.
CauseAction
The area of the windshield in front of the sensor isdirty or covered by ice orsnow.Clean the wind- shield or removethe 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 in front thelaser sensor, contact a trained and qualifiedVolvo service technician to repair or replacethe windshield (see the illustration showingthe location of the sensor in City Safety –function (p. 204)). Failing to do so may result in reduced City Safety ™ functionality.
To help prevent limited or reduced functional- ity, please also observe the following:
• Volvo recommends that cracks, scratchesor stone chips on the windshield in front of the laser sensor
should not be
repaired; in such cases, the entire wind- shield should be replaced.
• Before the windshield is replaced, con-tact a Volvo retailer to ensure that thecorrect windshield is ordered and instal-led. If the wrong type of windshield is used, this may cause City Safety
™ to
function improperly or not at all. Volvo recommends the use of only GenuineVolvo Replacement Windshields.
• When replacing windshield wipers, usethe same type or ones approved by Volvo.
