• Manually fold the mirror(s) to the nor- mal position.
• Press the button to fold both mirrorsin.
• Press the button again to fold the mir-rors out to their normal position.
Park Assist*This system provides an audi- ble warning when the vehicleis being parked or if it is drivenclose to a person or object.For more information seepage 160.
NOTE
The system activates automatically when the engine is started, and can be deacti-vated by pressing this button (e.g. whentowing a trailer) or reactivated if necessary.
Auxiliary lightsThis button is used to switch on auxiliary lights (if installed).A light in the button will lightup to indicate that the auxiliarylights are illuminated.
12-volt socketsThe 12-volt sockets can be used to plug in certain acces-sories such as cell phones,etc. The ignition key must bein position I (or higher) for theauxiliary socket to function.
The maximum current consumption is 10A(120W) if only one of the 12-volt sockets is inuse. If both the front and rear sockets areused at the same time, the maximum currentconsumption per socket is 7.5A (90W).
NOTE
The auxiliary sockets can also be used for cigarette lighters, which are available asaccessories at your Volvo retailer.

NOTE
When driving in daylight conditions, the headlights will switch off and the daytimerunning lights will come on. In darkness,the daytime running lights will switch offand the Active Bending Lights will switchon.
The ABL function is activated automatically when the engine is started and the headlight switch is in the
position and can be
deactivated/reactivated by pressing the but- ton in the center console (see page 64.
LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL)
To help conserve fuel by reducing the use of electrical current in the vehicle, DRL can beused in daylight conditions instead of the lowbeam headlights, which consume more elec-trical current. The daytime running lights aremounted in the front spoiler and use bright,electricity-saving LEDs (light emitting diodes).
Press button A to activate automatic DRL in day-
light driving conditions
With the headlight switch in the
posi-
tion as shown in the illustration, press the button with the A symbol to activate the auto-
matic LED daytime running lights in daylightdriving conditions (the indicator light in thebutton will illuminate). A light sensor thenmonitors the ambient lighting conditions andautomatically switches from LED DRL to thelow beam headlights in weaker ambient light(and will switch back to DRL when the ambi-ent light becomes brighter). Press the buttonagain (the indicator light in the switch will turnoff) to switch on the headlights. The LED DRLs will also switch off automati-cally (and the low beams will switch on) if:
• The rear fog light is switched on
• The windshield wipers are switched on for more than 10 seconds
If the LED DRL function was activated when the ignition was switched off, it will be activewhen the ignition is switched on again.
WARNING
• DRL is a driving aid designed to help conserve electrical current. This sys-tem cannot always determine if theambient lighting conditions are suffi-cient for switching from low beams toDRL (or vice versa). It is always thedriver's responsibility to visually deter-mine if the low beam headlights shouldbe used.
• As the driver, you have full responsibil-ity for operating the vehicle in a safemanner.

The trip computer stores information gath- ered from several systems in your vehicle andhas four menus that can be displayed in thetext window.
• Driving distance on current fuel reserve
• Average fuel consumption
• Current fuel consumption
• Average speed •
Current speed in mph (Canadian models only)
• DSTC (see page 158 for detailed infor-mation)
NOTE
Warning messages from the vehicle's monitoring systems will override the tripcomputer function. If a warning message isdisplayed in the text window while you areusing the trip computer, you mustacknowledge the message by pressingbutton
A. Press button A again to return to
the trip computer function.
1. Trip computer controls and functionsThe trip computer functions can be accessed by twisting INFO (B ) one step at a time in
either direction. Twisting a final time returnsyou to the original function. The trip computer can be reset (current data will be erased from system memory) bypressing RESET (button C).
2. Driving distance on current fuel
reserve
This function shows the approximate dis-tance that can be driven on the fuel remainingin the tank. The calculation is based on aver-age fuel consumption during the last 20 miles(30 km) of driving and the amount of fuel remaining in the tank when the reading wastaken. When
"----" is displayed in the text window,
refuel as soon as possible.
3. Average fuel consumptionThis value indicates fuel consumption since the last time the trip computer was reset (bypressing RESET, button C). When the engine
is switched off, information on fuel consump-tion is stored and remains in system memoryuntil the RESET (button C) is pressed again.
4. Current fuel consumptionThis value indicates the current fuel con-sumption, based on readings taken once persecond. When the vehicle is not moving,"----" will be displayed.
5. Average speedThis value indicates average speed since thelast time the trip computer was reset (bypressing RESET, button C). When the engine
