Occupant safety
Safety is Volvo's cornerstone.
Volvo's concern for safetyOur concern for safety dates back to 1927 when the first Volvo rolled off the productionline. Three-point seat belts (a Volvo inven-tion), safety cages, and energy-absorbingimpact zones were designed into Volvo vehi-cles long before it was fashionable orrequired by government regulation. We will not compromise our commitment to safety. We continue to seek out new safetyfeatures and to refine those already in ourvehicles. You can help. We would appreciatehearing your suggestions about improvingautomobile safety. We also want to know ifyou ever have a safety concern with yourvehicle. Call us in the U.S. at:1-800-458-1552 or in Canada at:1-800-663-8255.
Occupant safety remindersHow safely you drive doesn't depend on how old you are but rather on:• How well you see.
• Your ability to concentrate.
• How quickly you make decisions under stress to avoid an accident.
The following suggestions are intended to help you cope with the ever changing trafficenvironment. •
Never drink and drive.
• If you are taking any medication, consult your physician about its potential effectson your driving abilities.
• Take a driver-retraining course.
• Have your eyes checked regularly.
• Keep your windshield and headlightsclean.
• Replace wiper blades when they start toleave streaks.
• Take into account the traffic, road, andweather conditions, particularly withregard to stopping distance.
• Never send text messages while driving.
• Refrain from using or minimize the use ofa cell phone while driving.

Malfunction Indicator LightAs you drive, a computer called On-Board Diagnostics II (OBDII) monitors your vehicle'sengine, transmission, electrical and emissionsystems. The malfunction indicator light will illuminate if the computer senses a condition that poten-tially may need correcting. When this hap-pens, please have your vehicle checked by atrained and qualified Volvo service technicianas soon as possible. A malfunction indicator light may have many causes. Sometimes, you may not notice achange in your car's behavior. Even so, anuncorrected condition could hurt fuel econ-omy, emission controls, and drivability.Extended driving without correcting the causecould even damage other components inyour vehicle. This light may illuminate if the fuel filler cap is not closed tightly or if the engine was runningwhile the vehicle was refueled.
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)If the warning light comes on, there may be a malfunction in the ABS system (the standardbraking system will still function). Check thesystem by:
1. Stopping in a safe place and switching off
the ignition.
2. Restart the engine. 3. If the warning light goes off, no further
action is required.
If the indicator light remains on, the vehicle should be driven to a trained and qualifiedVolvo service technician for inspection, seeBrakes – general (p. 228) for additional infor-mation.
Rear fog lightsThis symbol indicates that the rear fog lights are on.
Stability systemThis indicator symbol flashes when the stabil- ity system is actively working to stabilize thevehicle, see Stability system – introduction(p. 141) for more detailed information.
Stability system - Sport modeThis symbol illuminates to indicate that the stability system's Sport mode has been acti-
vated to help provide maximum tractive force,for example when driving with snow chains,or driving in deep snow or loose sand.
Low fuel levelWhen this light comes on, the vehicle should be refueled as soon as possible. See Refuel-ing – fuel requirements (p. 239) for informa-tion about fuel and refueling.
Information symbolThe information symbol lights up and a text message is displayed to provide the driverwith necessary information about one of thevehicle's systems. The message can beerased and the symbol can be turned off by pressing the
OK button (see Information dis-
play – menu controls (p. 96) for information)or this will take place automatically after ashort time (the length of time varies, depend-ing on the function affected). The information symbol may also illuminate together with other symbols.
High beam indicatorThis symbol illuminates when the high beam headlights are on, or if the high beam flashfunction is used.
Left turn signal indicator
Right turn signal indicator
NOTE
• Both turn signal indicators will flash when the hazard warning flashers areused.
• If either of these indicators flash fasterthan normal, the direction indicatorsare not functioning properly.
Tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)*
This symbol illuminates to indicate that tire pressure in one or more tires is low, see TirePressure Monitoring System (TPMS) – generalinformation (p. 266) for detailed information.
Eco* function onThe symbol will illuminate when the Eco func- tion is activated.

• Active high beams (AHB)* (p. 77)
• Lighting panel (p. 76)
• Tunnel detection (models with the rain sensor* only) (p. 78)
Active high beams (AHB)*
AHB uses a camera at the upper edge of the windshield to detect the headlights of oncom-ing vehicles or the taillights of a vehicledirectly ahead. When this happens, the head-lights will automatically switch from highbeams to low beams. When the camera nolonger detects the headlights/taillights ofother vehicles, your headlights will switchback to high beams after several seconds. To activate AHB:
• Turn the headlight control to the
position.
The feature will begin functioning if the engine has been running for at least 20 seconds andthe vehicle's speed is at least 12 mph(20 km/h).
Headlight switch in the AUTO position Switch AHB on or off by pulling the left steer- ing wheel lever rearward (toward the steeringwheel) as far as possible and releasing it. IfAHB is switched off while the high beams areon, the headlights will change to low beams.
Models with an analog instrument panel
When AHB is activated, the symbol will
illuminate in the instrument panel. The high beam indicator (
) in the instrument panel
will also illuminate when the high beams are on.

Models with a digital instrument panel
When AHB is activated, will illuminate
as a white symbol in the instrument panel.
When the high beams are on, the symbol will change to blue.
NOTE
•Keep the windshield in front of the camera free of ice, snow, dirt, etc.
• Do not mount or in any way attachanything on the windshield that couldobstruct the camera.
If Active high beam Temporary
unavailable Switch manually is displayed in
the instrument panel, switching between high and low beams will have to be done man-ually. However, the light switch can remain in the
position. The same applies if
Windscreen Sensors blocked is displayed
and the
symbol is displayed. The symbol will go out when these messages are displayed. AHB may be temporarily unavailable (e.g., in heavy fog or rain). When AHB becomes activeagain or if the sensors in the windshield areno longer obscured, the messages will disap- pear and the
symbol will illuminate.
CAUTION
In the following situations, it may be nec- essary to switch between high and lowbeams manually:
• In heavy fog or rain
• In blowing snow or slush
• In bright moonlight
• In freezing rain
• In areas with dim street lighting
• When oncoming vehicles have dim front lighting
• If there are pedestrians on or near theroad
• If there are reflective objects, such assigns, near the road
• When oncoming vehicles' lights areobscured by e.g., fences, bushes, etc.
• When there are vehicles on connectingroads
• At the top of hills or in dips in the road
• In sharp curves

Tunnel detection (models with the rain sensor* only)
For models without automatic low beams, tunnel detection activates the low beamswhen the vehicle enters a tunnel. The lowbeams are switched off approx. 20 secondsafter the vehicle leaves the tunnel. The rain sensor reacts to the change in light- ing conditions when, for example, the vehicleenters a tunnel and the tunnel detection fea-ture will then activate the low beam head-lights. The low beams will be switched offapprox. 20 seconds after the vehicle leavesthe tunnel. The rain sensor does not have to be activated for tunnel detection to function.
