102* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Operation
Rearview mirror with compass.
The rearview mirror has an integrated display
that shows the compass direction in which the
vehicle is pointing. Eight different directions are
shown with the abbreviations:
N (north), NE(north east), E (east), SE (southeast), S (south),SW (southwest), W (west) and NW (northwest).
The compass is displayed automatically when
the vehicle is started or in ignition mode II. To
switch the compass on/off use a pen or similar
object and press in the button on the underside
of the mirror.
CalibrationThe compass may need to be calibrated if, for
example, the vehicle is driven into a new mag-netic zone. The character
C is shown in the
mirror's display if calibration is necessary.
1. Stop the vehicle in a large open area, safely
out of traffic and away from steel structures
and high-tension electrical wires.
2. Start the vehicle.
NOTE
For best results from calibration, switch off
all electrical equipment in the vehicle (cli-
mate system, windshield wipers, audio sys-
tem, etc.) and make sure that all doors are
closed.
3. Using a pen or similar object, press and
hold the button on the underside of mirror
until
C is shown again in the mirror(after
approx. 6 seconds).
4.
Drive as usual.
C disappears from the dis-
play when calibration is complete.
Alternative calibration method:
Drive slowly in a circle at a speed of no
more than 5 mph (8 km/h) until
C disap-
pears from the display when calibration is
complete.

Laminated panoramic roof*

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.103 Introduction
The laminated panoramic roof is divided into
two sections.
•The rear glass section is fixed in place and
cannot be moved.
•The front glass section can be slid hori-
zontally to the open or closed positions or
its rear edge can be raised and lowered to
allow ventilation.
All references in this section to opening or clos-
ing the panoramic roof pertain to the front glass
section.
The laminated panoramic roof also has a sun
shade made of perforated fabric that is located
below the sections of glass. This shade can be
opened or closed, for example when driving in
bright sunlight.
Both the laminated panoramic roof and the sun
shade are operated by the controls in the ceil-
ing console, near the rear-view mirror. The
vehicle's ignition must be in mode I or II before
the laminated panoramic roof/sun shade can
be operated.
CAUTION
•Remove ice and snow before opening
the laminated panoramic roof.
•Do not operate the laminated panor-
amic roof if it is frozen closed.
•Never place heavy objects on the lami-
nated panoramic roof.

Ignition switch with remote key inserted ( see
page 81 for more information on ignition modes)
WARNING
Before starting the engine:
•Fasten the seat belt.
•Check that the seat, steering wheel and
mirrors are adjusted properly.
•Make sure the brake pedal can be
depressed completely. Adjust the seat
if necessary.
1. Press the remote key into the ignition slot
as far as possible, with the metallic key
blade pointing outward (not inserted into
the slot)
1.
2.
Depress the brake pedal
2.
3.
Press and release the START/STOP
ENGINE button. The autostart function will
operate the starter motor until the engine
starts.
The starter motor operates for a maximum
of 10 seconds. If the engine has not
started, repeat the procedure.
NOTE
Keyless drive*
To start a vehicle equipped with the keyless
drive feature, one of the remote keys must
be in the passenger compartment. Follow
the instructions in step 3 to start the vehicle.
WARNING
An extra mat on the driver's floor can cause
the accelerator and/or brake pedal to catch.
Check that the movement of these pedals is
not impeded. Not more than one protective
floor covering may be used at one time.
WARNING
•Always remove the remote key from the
ignition slot when leaving the vehicle,
especially if there are children in the
vehicle.
•Never remove the remote key from the
ignition slot while driving or when the
vehicle is being towed. The steering
lock could otherwise be activated, mak-
ing it impossible to steer the vehicle. On
vehicles with the optional keyless drive,
never remove the remote key from the
vehicle while driving or during towing.
•Always place the gear selector in Park
and apply the parking brake before
leaving the vehicle. Never leave the
vehicle unattended with the engine run-
ning.
•Always open garage doors fully before
starting the engine inside a garage to
ensure adequate ventilation. The
exhaust gases contain carbon monox-
ide, which is invisible and odorless but
very poisonous.
1On vehicles with the optional keyless drive, it is only necessary to have a remote key in the passenger’s compartment.2If the vehicle is moving, it is only necessary to press the START/STOP ENGINE button to start the vehicle.

03 Your driving environment
Brakes
03

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.115 Brake system
The brake system is a hydraulic system con-
sisting of two separate brake circuits. If a prob-
lem should occur in one of these circuits, it is
still possible to stop the vehicle with the other
brake circuit.
If the brake pedal must be depressed farther
than normal and requires greater foot pressure,
the stopping distance will be longer.
A warning light in the instrument panel will light
up to warn the driver that a fault has occurred.
If this light comes on while driving or braking,
stop immediately and check the brake fluid
level in the reservoir.
NOTE
Press the brake pedal hard and maintain
pressure on the pedal – do not pump the
brakes.
WARNING
If the fluid level is below the MIN mark in the
reservoir or if a brake system message is
shown in the information display: DO NOT
DRIVE. Have the vehicle towed to a trained
and qualified Volvo service technician and
have the brake system inspected.
Brake pad inspection mirror
Brake pad inspection mirror
This mirror is used to inspect the brake pads
on vehicles that are not equipped with the a
jack* and lug wrench*.
This mirror is located with the other tools under
the floor of the cargo compartment (see
page 291).
Insert the mirror between the spokes in the
wheels to visually inspect the brake pads for
wear.
Brake lightsThe brake lights come on automatically when
the brakes are applied.
Adaptive brake lightsThe adaptive brake lights activate in the event
of sudden braking or if the ABS system is acti-vated. This function causes an additional tail-
light on each side of the vehicle to illuminate to
help alert vehicles traveling behind.
The adaptive brake lights activate if:
•The ABS system activates for more than
approximately a half second
•In the event of sudden braking while the
vehicle is moving at speeds above approx-
imately 6 mph (10 km/h)
When the vehicle has come to a stop, the brake
lights and additional taillights remain on for as
long as the brake pedal is depressed or until
braking force on the vehicle is reduced.
Power brakes function only when the
engine is running
The power brakes utilize vacuum pressure
which is only created when the engine is run-
ning. Never let the vehicle roll to a stop with the
engine switched off.
If the power brakes are not working, consider-
ably higher pressure will be required on the
brake pedal to compensate for the lack of
power assistance. This can happen for exam-
ple when towing your vehicle or if the engine is
switched off when the vehicle is rolling. The
brake pedal feels harder than usual.
