ted to the vehicle and driving. The instrument panel contains gauges, indicators
and monitoring and warning symbols. What is
shown in the instrument panel varies depending
on the equipment, settings and functions cur-
rently active.

not used. To reactivate it, do one of the following:
• Depress the brake pedal.
• Activate ignition mode I. •

properly, information about brakes, airbags or

WARNING
If the instrument panel turns off, does not
activate when the ignition is switched on, or
part/all of the panel cannot be read, do not
drive the vehicle. Consult a workshop immedi-
ately. Volvo recommends an authorized Volvo
