position, the daytime running lights willalways be activated when the ignition is in modeII. In weak daylight or dark conditions, the head-lights automatically switch to low beams.
Lighting ring in AUTO position.
With the steering wheel lever's lighting ring in the
position, the daytime running lights (DRL1)will illuminate when the vehicle is driven in day-light conditions. The headlights will switch auto-matically from daytime running lights to lowbeams in weak daylight or dark conditions. Theheadlights will also switch to low beams if thefront fog lights* and/or rear fog light are acti-vated.
US models: When mode is selected, thedaytime running lights can be deactivated in thecenter display. The parking lights will also bedeactivated. In weak daylight or dark conditions,the parking lights and low beams will be illumi-nated.
US models: With the lighting ring in the

Canadian models: With the lighting ring in the
or position, the daytime runninglights will be on.
NOTE
Volvo recommends use of Daytime RunningLights in the US. Its use is mandatory in Can-ada.

Active high beam (p. 155)
Active high beam
Active high beams is a function that uses cam-era sensors in the upper edge of the windshieldto detect the headlights of approaching vehiclesor the taillights of the vehicle directly ahead.When either of these is detected, the vehicle'sheadlights will automatically switch from highbeams to low beams.
Active high beams is indicated by the symbol.
This function can be used in dark conditionswhen the vehicle's speed is approx. 20 km/h(approx. 12 mph) or higher. The function can alsodetect street lighting. When the camera sensorno longer detects an approaching vehicle or avehicle ahead, the headlights will return to highbeams after a second or two.
Activating active high beams
Active high beams can be activated and deacti-vated by turning the lighting ring on the right-side
steering wheel lever to position . The light-
ing ring will then return to . When active
high beams are activated, a white symbolwill be displayed in the instrument panel. Whenhigh beams are on, the symbol will be blue.
If active high beams are deactivated when thehigh beams are on, the headlights will automati-cally switch to low beams.
Limitations for active high beams
The camera sensor on which the function isbased has limitations.
If this symbol and the message ActiveHigh Beam Temporarilyunavailable is displayed in the instru-ment panel, switching between highand low beams must be done manually. The
symbol will go out when the message isdisplayed.
The same applies if this symbol alongwith the message Windscreensensor Sensor blocked, seeOwner's manual is displayed.
Active high beams may be temporarily unavailablein certain situations, e.g. heavy fog or rain. When
