Interior rearview mirror
The interior rearview mirror has an auto-dim function that helps reduce glare from follow-ing vehicle's headlights.
Auto-dim functionThe interior rearview mirror’s auto-dim func-tion is controlled by two sensors: one point-ing forward (located on the forward-facingside of the mirror, which monitors the amountof ambient light) and one pointing rearward(located on the side of the mirror facing thedriver at the upper edge, which senses thestrength of following vehicles' headlights), and work together to help eliminate glare. 21
NOTE
Obstructing the forward sensor with e.g., parking stickers, transponders, etc., or therear sensor by loading the cargo area orthe rear seat in such a way that light isprevented from reaching the sensor willreduce the auto-dim function in the interiorrearview mirror and optional auto-dimfunction in the door mirrors.

Power door mirrors (p. 100)
Digital compass*
The rear-view mirror has an integrated display that shows the compass direction in whichthe vehicle is traveling.
Operation
Rearview mirror with compass.
Eight different directions are shown with the abbreviations:
N (north), NE (north east), E(east), SE (southeast), S (south), SW (south-
west), 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, paper-clip or similar object and press in the buttonon the underside of the mirror.
CalibrationNorth America is divided into 15 magneticzones and the compass will need to be cali-brated if the vehicle is driven into a new one(see the magnetic zones on the map in thefollowing section "Selecting a magneticzone"). To do so:
1. Stop the vehicle in a large open area, safely out of traffic and away from steel structures and high-tension electricalwires.
2. Start the vehicle.
NOTE
• For best calibration results, switch off all electrical equipment in the vehicle(climate system, windshield wipers,audio system, etc.) and make sure thatall doors are closed.
• Calibration may not succeed or beincorrect if the vehicle's electricalequipment is not switched off.
3. Using a pen, paperclip or similar object,
press and hold the button on the under- side of mirror for approx. 6 seconds until
C is displayed in the mirror.
21The auto-dim function is also available as an option on the door mirrors.

Therefore, vehicles or objects with low-reflec- tive surfaces may not be detected. Normally,the license plate and taillight reflectors givethe rear section of a vehicle ahead sufficientreflective surfaces to be detected.
NOTE
•Keep the windshield in front of the laser sensor free of ice, snow, dirt,etc., see City Safety – function(p. 198).
• Snow or ice on the hood deeper than2 inches (5 cm) may obstruct the sen-sor. Keep the hood free of ice andsnow.
• Do not mount or in any way attachanything on the windshield that couldobstruct the laser sensor.

City Safety – troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
If Windscreen Sensors blocked appears in
the information display, this indicates that the City Safety™ laser sensor is obstructed insome way and cannot detect vehicles aheadof you, which means that the system is notfunctioning. However, this message will not be displayed in all situations in which the sensor isobstructed. For this reason, the driver mustensure that the area of the windshield in frontof the sensor is always kept clean. The following table shows some of the situa- tions that can cause the message to be dis-played and suggested actions.
CauseAction
The area of the wind- shield in front of the sen-sor is dirty or covered byice or snow.Clean the windshield orremove the ice/snow.
The laser sensor's field of view is obstructed.Remove the obstruction.
NOTE
If a crack, scratch or stone chip should occur in the section of the windshield infront the laser sensor, contact a trainedand qualified Volvo service technician torepair or replace the windshield (see theillustration showing the location of the sen-sor in City Safety – function (p. 198)). Fail-ing to do so may result in reduced CitySafety™ functionality. To help prevent limited or reduced func- tionality, please also observe the following:
• Volvo recommends that cracks, scratches or stone chips on the wind-shield in front of the laser sensorshould not
be repaired; in such cases,
the entire windshield should bereplaced.
• Before the windshield is replaced,contact a Volvo retailer to ensure thatthe correct windshield is ordered andinstalled. If the wrong type of wind-shield is used, this may cause CitySafety™ to function improperly or notat all. Volvo recommends the use ofonly Genuine Volvo ReplacementWindshields.
• When replacing windshield wipers, usethe same type or ones approved byVolvo.

Driving in cold weather
Check your vehicle before the approach of cold weather. The following advice is worth noting:
• Make sure that the engine cool- ant (p. 335) contains 50 percent anti-freeze. Any other mixture will reducefreeze protection. This gives protectionagainst freezing down to –31 °F (–35 °C).The use of "recycled" antifreeze is notapproved by Volvo. Different types ofantifreeze must not be mixed.
• Volvo recommends using only genuineVolvo antifreeze in your vehicle's radiator.
• Try to keep the fuel tank well filled – thishelps prevent the formation of condensa-tion in the tank. In addition, in extremelycold weather conditions it is worthwhileto add fuel line de-icer before refueling.
• The viscosity of the engine oil is impor-tant. Oil with low viscosity (thinner oil)improves cold-weather starting as well asdecreasing fuel consumption while theengine is warming up. Full synthetic0W-30 oil is recommended for driving inareas with sustained low temperatures.
• The load placed on the battery is greaterduring the winter since the windshieldwipers, lighting, etc., are used moreoften. Moreover, the capacity of the bat-tery decreases as the temperature drops.In very cold weather, a poorly chargedbattery can freeze and be damaged. It is therefore advisable to check the state ofcharge more frequently and spray an anti-rust oil on the battery posts.
• Volvo recommends the use of snow tireson all four wheels for winter driving, seeSnow tires/studded tires (p. 310).
• To prevent the washer fluid (p. 348)reser-voir from freezing, add washer solventscontaining antifreeze. This is importantsince dirt is often splashed on the wind-shield during winter driving, requiring thefrequent use of the washers and wipers.Volvo Washer Solvent should be dilutedas follows: Down to 14 °F (–10 °C): 1 partwasher solvent and 4 parts water Downto 5 °F (–15 °C): 1 part washer solventand 3 parts water Down to 0 °F (–18 °C):1 part washer solvent and 2 parts waterDown to –18 °F (–28 °C): 1 part washersolvent and 1 part water.
• Use Volvo Teflon Lock Spray in the locks.
• Avoid using de-icing sprays as they cancause damage to the locks.
