ABL faultThe symbol illuminates if a fault has arisen in
the ABL function (Active Bending Lights).
Emissions systemIf the symbol illuminates then it may be due to
a fault in the car's emissions system. Drive to
a workshop for checking. Volvo recommends
that you seek assistance from an authorised
Volvo workshop.
ABS faultIf this symbol illuminates then the system is not
working. The car's regular brake system con-
tinues to work, but without the ABS function.
1. Stop the car in a safe place and turn off the
engine.2. Restart the engine.
3. If the symbol remains illuminated, drive to
a workshop to have the ABS system
checked. Volvo recommends that you
seek assistance from an authorised Volvo
workshop.
Rear fog lamp onThis symbol illuminates when the rear fog lamp
is on. There is only one fog lamp. It is located
on the driver's side.
Stability systemA flashing symbol indicates that the stability
system is operating. If the symbol illuminates
with constant glow then there is a fault in the
system.
Stability system, Sport modeSport mode allows for a more active driving
experience. The system then detects whether
the accelerator pedal, steering wheel move-
ments and cornering are more active than in
normal driving and then allows controlled skid-
ding of the rear section up to a certain level
before it intervenes and stabilises the car.
Engine preheater (diesel)This symbol illuminates during engine preheat-
ing. Preheating takes place mostly due to low
temperature.
Low level in fuel tankWhen the symbol illuminates the level in the
fuel tank is low, refuel as soon as possible.
Information, read display textWhen one of the car's systems does not
behave as intended, this information symbol
illuminates and a text appears on the informa-
tion display. The message text is cleared with
the OK button, see page 200, or it disappears
automatically after a time (time depending on
which function is indicated). The information
symbol can also illuminate in conjunction with
other symbols.
NOTE
When a service message is shown, the sym-
bol and message are cleared using the OK
button, or disappear automatically after a
time.
Main beam OnThe symbol illuminates when main beam is on
and with main beam flash.
Left/right-hand direction indicatorsBoth direction indicator symbols flash when
the hazard warning flashers are used.
DRIVe – Start/Stop*The symbol shines when the engine is auto-
stopped.

The display lighting is automatically subdued
in darkness - the sensitivity is set with the
thumbwheel.The intensity of the instrument lighting is
adjusted with the thumbwheel.
Headlamp levellingThe load in the car changes the vertical align-
ment of the headlamp beam, which could daz-
zle oncoming motorists. Avoid this by adjusting
the height of the beam. Lower the beam if the
car is heavily laden.
1. Leave the engine running, or have the car's
electrical system in key position I.
2. Roll the thumbwheel up/down to raise/
lower beam alignment.
Cars with active Xenon headlamps* have auto-
matic headlamp levelling and are therefore not
equipped with the thumbwheel.

AApplies to certain markets.
Volvo recommends that mode is used,
as long as the traffic situation or weather con-
ditions are not unfavourable for the function for
"Main beam with automatic activation*".
Main beam flashMove the stalk switch gently towards the steer-
ing wheel to the position for main beam flash.Main beam comes on until the stalk switch is
released.
Dipped beamWhen the engine is started, dipped beam is
activated automatically2 if the headlamp con-
trol is in position
. If necessary, auto-
matic dipped beam for this position can be
deactivated by a workshop. Volvo recom-
mends that you contact an authorised Volvo
workshop.
In position
dipped beam is always
switched on when the engine is running or
when key position II is active.
Main beamMain beam can be activated when the head-
lamp control is in position 2 or .
Activate/deactivate main beam by moving the
stalk switch towards the steering wheel to the
end position and release. Alternatively, the
main beam can be deactivated by a light press
of the stalk switch toward the steering wheel.
When main beam has been activated the sym-
bol
illuminates in the combined instru-
ment panel.
Main beam with automatic activation -
AHB*
Main beam with automatic activation (Active
High Beam - AHB) is a function which uses a
camera sensor at the top edge of the wind-
screen to detect the headlamp beams of
oncoming traffic or the rear lights of vehicles in
front, and then switches from main beam to
dipped beam. The lights are switched back to
main beam a second or so after the camera
sensor no longer detects any such light.
In cars with this function the headlamp control
has another design, see page 87.
This function can be activated when the head-
lamp control is in position
. For activation
to take place, the engine must have been run-
ning for at least 20 seconds and the speed of
the car must be 20 km/h or higher.
2Applies to certain markets, for headlamp control without AUTO mode.

Light switch in position AUTO.
Activate/deactivate AHB by moving the left-
hand stalk switch towards the steering wheel
to the end position and release. Deactivation
when main beam is on means that the lights
switch directly to dipped beam.
Headlamp control and stalk switch.
When AHB has been activated the symbol
illuminates in the combined instru-
ment panel's display. When main beam has
been activated the
symbol also illumi-
nates in the combined instrument panel.
NOTE
Keep the windscreen surface in front of the
camera sensor clean from ice, snow, mist
and dirt.
Do not attach or fit anything to the wind-
screen in front of the camera sensor, as this
could reduce or prevent the function of one
or more camera-dependent systems.
If the message AHB temporary unavailableis shown in the combined instrument panel's
display then you have to switch manually
between main and dipped beam. However, the
headlamp control may nevertheless be in posi-
tion
. The same applies if the message
Windscreen Sensors blocked and the
symbol are shown. The sym-
bol goes out when these messages are shown.
AHB may be temporarily unavailable e.g. in sit-
uations with dense fog or heavy rain. When
AHB becomes available again, or the wind-
screen sensors are no longer covered, themessage goes out and the
symbol illu-
minates.
WARNING
AHB is an aid for using optimum light com-
position when conditions are favourable.
The driver always bears responsibility for
manually switching between main and
dipped beam when traffic situations or
weather conditions so require.

IMPORTANT
Examples of when manual switching
between main and dipped beam may be
required:
•In heavy rain or dense fog
•In snow flurries or slush
•In moonlight
•When driving in poorly lit built-up areas
•When the traffic ahead has weak light-
ing
•If there are pedestrians on or beside the
road
•If there are highly reflective objects such
as signs in the vicinity of the road
•When the lighting from oncoming traffic
is obscured by e.g. a crash barrier
•When there is traffic on connecting
roads
•On the brow of a hill or in a hollow
•In sharp bends.
For more information on the limitations of the
camera sensor, see page 178.
Tunnel detection*In cars with rain sensor* the rain sensor detects
the changed light conditions when the car ise.g. driven into a tunnel, and dipped beam is
activated within a second in markets without
automatic dipped beam. Dipped beam is deac-
tivated approx. 20 seconds after the car has
been driven out of the tunnel. Note! - The head-
lamp control must be in
position for tun-
nel detection to work.
Active Xenon headlamps - ABL*
Headlamp pattern with function deactivated (left)
and activated (right) respectively.
If the car is equipped with active Xenon head-
lamps Active Bending Lights - ABL the light
from the headlamps follows the steering wheel
movement in order to provide maximum light-
ing in bends and junctions and so provide
increased safety.The function is activated automatically when
the car is started. In the event of a fault in the
function the
symbol illuminates in the
combined instrument panel at the same time
as the information display shows an explana-
tory text and a further illuminated symbol.
