Audio functions

This function provides the driver with an instantaneous conversion of the car's current speed from km/h to mph.
Current speed in km/h (U.S. models only)
This function provides the driver with an instantaneous conversion of the car's current speed from mph to km/h.
Current fuel consumption (Instantaneous)
Current fuel consumption is calculated every second. The information on the display is updated every few seconds.
When the vehicle is stationary, "----" appears on the display.
Average fuel consumption
The average fuel consumption since the last reset. Reset using RESET.
Driving distance on current fuel reserve
The calculation is based on the average fuel consumption over the last 20 miles ( 30 km) and the remaining usable fuel
in the tank. This shows the approximate distance that can be driven with the fuel quantity remaining in the tank. When
the driving distance on the current fuel reserve is less than 12 miles ( 20 km), " ---- miles to empty tank" is shown on
the display.
NOTE
The actual distance that can be driven on the usable fuel remaining in the tank may be influenced by a change in
driving style.

Compass
Operation
The upper right corner of 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 rear side of the mirror.
Calibration
The compass may need to be calibrated if, for example, the vehicle is driven into a new magnetic zone. The characters
CAL are shown in the mirror's display if calibration is necessary.
1. Stop the vehicle in a large open area, away from traffic.
2. Start the vehicle.
3. Using a pen or similar object, press and hold the button on the rear side of mirror until CAL is shown again (after
approx. 6 seconds).
4. Drive as usual. CAL disappears from the display 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 CAL disappears from the display when
calibration is complete.
Selecting a magnetic zone
The earth is divided into 15 magnetic zones. The correct zone must be selected for the compass to work correctly.
1. Put the ignition in mode II .
2. Using a pen or similar object, press and hold the button on the rear side of mirror for at least 3 seconds. The number
for the current area will be shown.
3. Press the button repeatedly until the number for the required geographic area (1-15) is shown.

NOTE
If the sensors are obstructed by e.g., dirt, snow, or ice, this could result in false warning signals from the park assist
system.

Blind Spot Information System (option)
Introduction
BLIS camera
Indicator light
BLIS symbol
The Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) is an information system that indicates the presence of another vehicle
moving in the same direction as your vehicle in the sideview mirror's "blind area."
CAUTION
The BLIS system should only be repaired by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
WARNING
BLIS is an information system, NOT a warning or safety system.
BLIS does not eliminate the need for you to visually confirm the conditions around you, and the need for you to
turn your head and shoulders to make sure that you can safely change lanes.
As the driver, you have full responsibility for changing lanes in a safe manner.
The system is based on digital camera technology. The cameras are located beneath the side-view mirrors.
When one (or both) of the cameras have detected a vehicle in the blind area (up to approximately 10 ft. (3 meters)
from the side of your vehicle, and up to approximately 31 ft. (9.5 meters) behind the side-view mirror), see the
illustration, the indicator light in the door panel illuminates. The light will glow continuously to alert the driver of the
vehicle in the blind area.
NOTE

Storage compartment (for CDs, etc.) under armrest.
Includes cup holder for driver and passenger, 12 V socket and small storage compartment.
Cigarette lighter and ashtray (option)
Your Volvo retailer has lighters and ashtrays available as accessories.
Glove compartment
The owner's manual and maps can be kept here. There are also holders for pens and fuel cards. The glove
compartment can be locked manually with the key blade, see page 64
.

marks. For capacities and recommended fluid grade, see page 275.
WARNING
If a problem should occur in the power steering system or if the vehicle has no electrical current and must be towed,
it is still possible to steer the vehicle. However, keep in mind that greater effort will be required to turn the steering
wheel.
CAUTION
Keep the area around the power steering fluid reservoir clean when checking.

223 06 Maintenance and specifications

Dirt, snow, etc., on the headlights can reduce lighting capacity considerably. Clean the headlights regularly, for
example when refueling.
When washing or steam cleaning the engine, avoid spraying water or steam directly on the electrical components
or toward the rear side of the engine. Special moonroof cautions:
Always close the moonroof and sun shade before washing your vehicle.
Never use abrasive cleaning agents on the moonroof.
Never use wax on the rubber seals around the moonroof.
Exterior components
Volvo recommends the use of special cleaning products, available at your Volvo retailer, for cleaning colored plastic,
rubber, or ornamental components such as chromed strips on the exterior of your vehicle. The instructions for using
these products should be followed
263 06 Maintenance and specifications
Vehicle care
carefully. Solvents or stain removers should not be used.
CAUTION
Avoid waxing or polishing plastic or rubber components
Polishing chromed strips can wear away or damage the surface
Polishes containing abrasive substances should not be used
Automatic car wash
We do NOT recommend washing your car in an automatic wash during the first six months (because the paint will
not have hardened sufficiently).
An automatic wash is a simple and quick way to clean your car, but it is worth remembering that it may not be as
thorough as when you yourself go over the car with sponge and water. Keeping the underbody clean is most important,
especially in the winter. Some automatic washers do not have facilities for washing the underbody.
CAUTION
Before driving into an automatic car wash, turn off the optional rain sensor to avoid damaging the windshield
wipers.
Make sure that side view mirrors, auxiliary lamps, etc, are secure, and that any antenna(s) are retracted or
removed. Otherwise there is risk of the machine dislodging them.
Chromed wheels : Clean chrome-plated wheels using the same detergents used for the body of the vehicle.
Aggressive wheel-cleaning agents can permanently stain chrome-plated wheels.
WARNING
When the vehicle is driven immediately after being washed, apply the brakes, including the parking brake, several
times in order to remove any moisture from the brake linings.
Engine cleaning agents should not be used when the engine is warm. This constitutes a fire risk.
Exterior lighting
Condensation may form temporarily on the inside of the lenses of exterior lights such as headlights, fog lights, or
taillights. This is normal and the lights are designed to withstand moisture. Normally, condensation will dissipate after
