Instrument panel
The instrument panel displays information rela- ted to the vehicle and driving.
The instrument panel contains gauges, indicators and monitoring and warning symbols. What isshown in the instrument panel varies dependingon the equipment, settings and functions cur-rently active. The instrument panel is activated as soon as a door is opened, i.e. in ignition mode 0. The panel
will power down after a short period of time if it is not used. To reactivate it, do one of the following:
• Depress the brake pedal.
• Activate ignition mode
I.
• Open one of the doors. The instrument panel is available in two versions: 12"
* and 8".WARNING
If the instrument panel is not functioning properly, information about brakes, airbags orother safety-related systems may not be dis-played. The driver will then not be able tocheck the status of the vehicle systems orreceive relevant warnings and information.
WARNING
If the instrument panel turns off, does not activate when the ignition is switched on, orpart/all of the panel cannot be read, do notdrive the vehicle. Consult a workshop immedi-ately. Volvo recommends an authorized Volvoworkshop.

Turn the lighting ring to the position to
turn on the parking lights (the license plate light- ing will also illuminate). Canadian models: If the ignition is in the II posi-
tion or the engine is running, the daytime running lights will illuminate instead of the front parkinglights. With the lighting ring in this position, theparking lights will remain on regardless of whatposition the ignition is in. US models: When
mode is selected, the
daytime running lights can be deactivated in the center display. The parking lights will also be deactivated. In weak daylight or dark conditions,the parking lights and low beams will be illumi-nated. In dark conditions, the rear parking lights also illuminate when the tailgate is opened to alert fol-lowing traffic. This happens regardless of whatposition the lighting ring or ignition is in.
