See the next page for additional information.
4. Information display
The display presents information and warning messages, the ambient temperature, and the clock, etc. When the
ambient temperature is between 23° and 36°F (-5° and +2°C), a snowflake symbol is shown in the display. This
symbol serves as a warning for possible slippery road surfaces. Please note that this symbol does not indicate a fault
with your car. At low speeds, or when the car is not moving, the temperature readings may be slightly higher than the
actual ambient temperature.
5. Information symbol
See the next page for additional information.
6. Turn signal, right
7. Tachometer
The tachometer shows engine speed in thousands of revolutions per minute (rpm). Do not drive continuously with the
needle in the red area of the dial, which indicates maximum allowable engine rpm range. Instead, shift to a higher gear
or slow the vehicle down. The engine management system will automatically prevent excessively high engines speeds.
This will be noticeable as a pronounced unevenness in engine speed.

pg. 41 Symbols on the right side of the instrument panel
Symbols - right side of instrument panel
1. Turn signal indicator for trailer (certain models)
If you are towing a trailer, this light will flash simultaneously with the turn signals on the trailer. If the light
does not flash when signaling, one of the turn signals on the trailer or on the car are not functioning properly.
2. Parking brake applied
This light is on when the parking brake (hand brake) is applied. The parking brake lever is situated between
the front seats.
Canadian models are equipped with this symbol
.
3. Safety system warning light
If this light comes on while the car is being driven, or remains on for longer than approximately 10 seconds
after the car has been started, the safety system's diagnostic functions have detected a fault in a seat belt lock, SRS,
SIPS, and/or VIC system. Drive to an authorized Volvo retailer to have the system(s) inspected.
4. Oil pressure warning light
If the light comes on while driving, stop the car, stop the engine immediately, and check the engine oil level.
See if the oil level is normal and the light stays on after restart, have the car towed to the nearest authorized Volvo
retailer. After hard driving, the light may come on occasionally when the engine is idling. This is normal, provided it
goes off when the engine speed is increased.
5. Seat belt reminder
This symbol (and the seat belt reminder light above the rear view mirror) will light up if either front seat
occupant has not buckled his/her seat belt. If the car is not moving, the symbols will go out after approximately 6
seconds.

1. Headlights and parking lights
All lighting off.
Models with daytime running lights:
Low beam headlights will automatically come on if the ignition key is in position II. Front and rear parking lights
and license plate lights will also be on. Volvo recommends the use of daytime running lights. If, however, you would
prefer to have these lights turned off (USA only), please consult your Volvo retailer. Please note that the use of
daytime running lights is mandatory in Canada.
NOTE: Bi -Xenon headlights (option): Turn the headlight switch to position 0 to activate a daylight sensor, which
automatically switches the low beams on or off, depending on ambient light conditions. When driving in daylight, the
headlights will switch off and the daytime running lights will come on. In darkness, the daytime running lights will
switch off and the Bi -Xenon headlights will switch on.
Parking lights
When the switch is in this position, the front and rear parking lights, license plate lights, and instrument panel
lighting will be on. The parking lights should be switched off when you leave the car to help avoid battery drain.
High/low beam headlights
The headlights, front and rear parking lights, license plate lights, and instrument panel lighting will be on if
the ignition key is in position II. If the headlight switch is in this position, all lights will go out when the ignition is
switched off.
NOTE: The headlight switch must be in position
before the high beams will function (this also applies on models
equipped with the optional Bi -Xenon headlights).
Switch from high to low beams and vice versa by pulling the turn signal switch lever on the left side of steering
column toward you.
2. Instrument panel lighting
Move the thumb wheel up to increase brightness or down to decrease brightness.
There is also an instrument panel illumination sensor that automatically adjusts the level of illumination.
The background of the center console's display automatically becomes lighter or darker, depending on the amount of
ambient light.
3. Front fog lights (option)
ProCarManuals.com
Page 27 of 127
The front fog lights will only function with the ignition key in at least position II. These lights can only be used in
combination with the low beam headlights or the parking lights. These lights will be automatically switched off the
next time the car is started.
An LED in the switch indicates when the front fog lights are on.
4. Unlocking the fuel filler door
With the ignition switched off, press this button to unlock the fuel filler door. Please note that the fuel filler door will
remain unlocked until the car begins to move

Manually releasing the fuel filler door
If it should be necessary, the fuel filler door can be opened manually from the inside the trunk.
To do so:
1. Move the cover panel to one side.
2. This exposes a handle, located near the fuel filler door locking mechanism.
Pull the handle rearward to release the fuel filler door.
5. Rear fog light
The single rear fog light is located in the driver's side tail light cluster. The ignition key must be in at least position II
for the rear fog light to function. This light is considerably brighter than the normal tail lights and should be used only
when conditions such as fog, rain, snow, smoke or dust reduce visibility for other vehicles to less than 500 ft. (150
meters). An LED in the switch indicates when the rear fog light is on. The rear fog light will only function in
combination with the high/ low beam headlights or the optional front fog lights.
