Safety mode is a feature that is triggered after acollision if there is potential damage to an impor-tant function in the vehicle, such as the fuellines, sensors for one of the safety systems, thebrake system, etc.
If the vehicle has been involved in a collision, thetext Safety mode See Owner's manual mayappear in the instrument panel along with thewarning symbol if the panel is undamaged andthe vehicle's electrical system is intact. The mes-sage indicates that one or more of the vehicle'sfunctions may be reduced.
WARNING
Never attempt to restart the vehicle if yousmell fuel fumes when the message Safetymode See Owner's manual is displayed inthe instrument panel. Leave the vehicle imme-diately.
If safety mode has been set, it may be possible toreset the system in order to start and move thevehicle a short distance, for example, if it is block-ing traffic.
WARNING
Never attempt to perform repairs or resetelectrical components on your own after thevehicle has been in safety mode. This couldresult in injury or prevent the vehicle fromfunctioning properly. Volvo recommends hav-ing the vehicle inspected and reset to normaloperating status by an authorized Volvo work-shop after Safety mode See Owner'smanual has been displayed.
WARNING
When the vehicle is in safety mode, it shouldnot be towed behind another vehicle. It shouldbe towed from the site on a tow truck. Volvorecommends towing the vehicle directly to anauthorized Volvo workshop.

Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge in the instrument panel showsthe fuel level in the tank.
The beige area in the fuel gauge indicates theamount 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 instrumentpanel will display a hybrid gauge, which can helpthe driver achieve optimal driving economy.
The hybrid gauge shows the ratio between theelectric motor's current power consumption andthe remaining available power. This information isshown in various ways.
Symbols in the hybrid gauge
Indicates the current available powerfrom the electric motor. A solid symbolindicates that the electric motor isbeing used.
A hollow symbol indicates that theelectric motor is not being used.
Indicates the power level when theinternal combustion engine starts. Asolid symbol indicates that the internalcombustion engine is being used.
Indicates the power level when theinternal combustion engine will start. Ahollow symbol indicates that the inter-nal combustion engine is not beingused.
Indicates that the hybrid battery isbeing charged, e.g. by lightly pressingthe brake pedal.
Driver-requested power
The hybrid gauge displays the amount of powerrequested (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 combustion engine will start.

For example:
The vehicle has been started, but is stationary and nopower is being requested.
The electric motor cannot supply the requested powerand 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 powerthe 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.

Ambient temperature sensor
The ambient temperature is shown in the instru-ment panel.
The sensor detects the temperature outside thevehicle.
Location of the ambient temperature sensor in 12" and8" instrument panels.
If the vehicle has been stationary, the sensorreading may be higher than the actual tempera-ture.
When the ambient temperature isbetween –5 °C and +2 °C (23 °F and36 °F), a snowflake symbol will be dis-played in the instrument panel as awarning for possible slippery conditions.
The snowflake symbol is also temporarily lit in thehead-up display if the vehicle is equipped withone.
Change the measurement standard for the tem-perature sensor etc. via system settings in thecenter display's Top view.
