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.
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.

Hybrid gauge
In Hybrid and Pure drive modes, the instrument panel will display a hybrid gauge, which can help the driver achieve optimal driving economy.
The hybrid gauge shows the ratio between the electric motor's current power consumption andthe remaining available power. This information isshown in various ways.
Symbols in the hybrid gaugeIndicates the current available powerfrom the electric motor. A solid symbolindicates that the electric motor isbeing used.
A hollow symbol indicates that the electric motor is not being used.
Indicates the power level when the internal combustion engine starts. Asolid symbol indicates that the internalcombustion engine is being used.
Indicates the power level when the internal combustion engine will start. Ahollow symbol indicates that the inter-nal combustion engine is not being
used.
Indicates that the hybrid battery is being charged, e.g. by lightly pressingthe brake pedal.
Driver-requested powerThe hybrid gauge displays the amount of power requested (utilized) by the driver through pres-sure on the accelerator pedal. The higher thereading on the scale, the more power utilized inthe current gear. The mark between the lightningsymbol and the drop symbol indicates the pointat which the electric motor will switch off and theinternal combustion engine will take over.
For example:
The vehicle has been started, but is stationary and no power is being requested.
The electric motor cannot supply the requested power and the internal combustion engine will start.

Hybrid gauge
The hybrid battery gauge shows how much cur- rent is left in the hybrid battery.
The current in the hybrid battery is used to power the electric motor, but can also be used to heator cool the vehicle. The trip computer calculatesan approximate driving distance with the remain-ing current in the hybrid battery.
Symbols in the hybrid battery gauge
The symbol in the hybrid battery gauge indi-
cates that the Hold function is activated. The
symbol indicates that the Charge function
is activated.

Ambient temperature sensor
The ambient temperature is shown in the instru- ment panel.
The sensor detects the temperature outside the vehicle.
Location of the ambient temperature sensor in 12" and 8" instrument panels.
If the vehicle has been stationary, the sensor reading may be higher than the actual tempera-ture. When the ambient temperature is between -5 °C and +2 °C (23 and 36 °F), a snowflake symbol
will be displayed in the instrument panel as a warning for possible slippery conditions. The snowflake symbol is also temporarily lit in the head-up display if the vehicle is equipped withone. To change the measurement standard for thetemperature sensor and other readings, go tosystem settings in the center display's Top view.
