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.
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.

In the center of the instrument panel is a dynamic symbol that changes appearance according tothe type of message displayed. The severity ofthe control or warning symbol is indicated by anamber or red marking around the symbol. An ani-mation may be used to change the symbol into alarger image in order to graphically depict thelocation of a problem or to clarify information.

Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge in the instrument panel shows the fuel level in the tank.
The beige area in the fuel gauge indicates the amount of fuel left in the tank. When the fuel level is low and it is time to refuel, the fuel pump symbol will illuminate with anamber-colored light. The trip computer also indi-cates the approximate distance driven on the fuelremaining in the tank.

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.

The vehicle is generating current to recharge the battery, e.g. during light braking or engine braking on a down-slope.

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.

Trip computer The vehicle's trip computer registers and calcu- lates data while driving such as mileage, fuelconsumption and average speed.
To help promote fuel-efficient driving, data is recorded on both current and average fuel con-sumption. Data from the trip computer can bedisplayed in the instrument panel.
Trip computer information in the instrument panel1
.
The trip computer includes the following gauges:
• Trip odometer
• Odometer
• Current fuel consumption
• Distance to empty tank
• Distance to discharged battery
• Tourist - alternative speedometer Unit standards for distance, speed, etc. can be changed via system settings in the center display.
Trip odometerThere are two trip odometers: TM and TA. TM can be reset manually and TA is reset auto- matically if the vehicle is not used for four hours. During a drive, the trip odometer registers data on:
• Mileage
• Driving time
• Average speed
• Average fuel consumption
The readings since the trip odometer's last resetare displayed.
OdometerThe odometer records the vehicle's total mileage.This reading cannot be reset.
Current fuel consumptionThis gauge shows the vehicle's fuel consumptionat that moment. The reading is updated aboutonce a second.
Distance to empty tankThe trip computer calculates the distance thatcan be driven on the fuel remaining in the tank. This calculation is based on average fuel con-sumption during the last 30 km (20 miles) andthe amount of fuel remaining in the tank. When the gauge displays "----", there is not enough fuel remaining to calculate the remainingmileage. Refuel as soon as possible.
NOTE
This may vary if your driving style changes.
An economical driving style will generally increase how far you can drive on a certainamount of fuel.
Distance to discharged batteryThe gauge shows the approximate dis-tance that can be driven with theremaining current in the hybrid battery.
When the gauge displays "----", there is little charge remaining in the battery and distancecannot be reliably calculated. This calculation is based on average consump- tion with a normally loaded vehicle in normal driv-ing conditions, and takes into account whetherthe air conditioning is on or off. Changing drive modes from
Hybrid to Pure may increase the
calculated distance because Pure mode has
reduced climate control settings (ECO Climate).
