headlights VOLVO S60 2005 Owners Manual

Drive at a constant speed.
See an authorized Volvo retailer as soon as possible for inspection if the check engine (malfunction indicator) lamp
illuminates, or stays on after the vehicle has started.
Properly dispose of any vehicle-related waste such as used motor oil, used batteries, brake pads, etc.
When cleaning your car, use Volvo's own car care products, all of which have systematically been adapted to the
environment.
PremAir®
On the surface of the radiator in the engine compartment, there is a special coating called PremAir®. PremAir® works
as a catalytic converter, converting most of the ground level ozone passing through the radiator into oxygen, thereby
reducing harmful ground-level ozone.
PremAir is a registered trademark of Engelhard Corporation.

Lighting panel
A - 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 on. The parking lights should be switched off when you leave the car to help avoid battery
drain.
Headlights, parking lights, license plate lights and instrument panel illumination are 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.
The headlight switch must be in this 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.
B - Instrument lighting
Move the thumb wheel up to increase brightness or down to decrease brightness. There is also an instrument panel
illumination sensor (see illustration on page 52
) which automatically adjusts the level of illumination.
The symbols have maximum illumination in daylight (only the background lighting can be adjusted). At night, both the
symbol light and background lighting can be adjusted.
C - Unlocking the fuel filler door
Press this button when the car is at a standstill to unlock the fuel filler door. Please note that the fuel filler door will
remain unlocked until the car begins to move forward. An audible click will be heard when the fuel filler door relocks.
See also page 86
.
NOTE: If the fuel filler door does not unlock after the button has been pressed, please see page 35
for information on
manually unlocking this door.
D - Front fog lights *
The front fog lights will function only in combination with the low beam headlights.
An LED in the switch indicates when the front fog lights are on.
* Standard on T5, R models/accessory on the other models.
These lights will be automatically switched off the next time the car is started.
