Volvo Sensus

Volvo Sensus is the heart of the personal Volvo
experience and connects you with the car and
outside world. Sensus provides information,

vehicle's electrical system in different modes/
levels so that different functions are available;
see Key positions - functions at different levels
(p. 81).

inserted into the ignition switch but can be
stored in e.g. a pocket. For more information
on the keyless start and lock system, see
Keyless drive

* (p. 169).

Applies to certain car models.

INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS

}}

Insert the key

1. Hold the end of the remote control key with

the detachable key blade and insert the key
in the ignition switch.

2. Then press the key in the lock up to its end

position.

IMPORTANT

Foreign objects in the ignition switch can
impair the function or destroy the lock.

Do not press in the remote control key incor-
rectly turned - Hold the end with the detacha-
ble key blade; see Detachable key blade -
detaching/attaching (p. 167).

Withdraw the key

Grip the remote control key and pull it out from
the ignition switch.

Key positions - functions at different

levels

To enable the use of a limited number of func-
tions with the engine switched off, the car's elec-
trical system can be set in 3 different levels -

0, I

and

II - with the remote control key. This owner's

manual describes these levels throughout using
the denomination "key positions".

The following table shows the functions available
in each key position/level.

Level

Functions

•

Odometer, clock and temperature
gauge are illuminated.

•

Electrically operated seats can be
adjusted.

The power seats have overload protection which
is tripped if a seat is blocked by an object. If this
should happen, set the car's electrical system in

key position I or 0 and wait a short time before
adjusting the seat again.

Only one movement (forward/back/up/down)
can be made at a time.

Preparations

The seat can be adjusted for a certain time after
unlocking the door with the remote control key
without the key in the ignition switch. Seat adjust-
ment is normally made in key position I and can
always be made when the engine is running.

restraints can be folded. The centre seat head
restraint can be adjusted to suit the height of the
passenger.

is covered if possible. Slide it up as required.

To lower the head restraint again, the button (see
illustration) must be pressed while the restraint is
carefully moved down.

The head restraint can be adjusted in five differ-
ent positions.

WARNING

The centre seat head restraint must be in its

lowest position when the centre seat is not

IMPORTANT

When the backrest is to be folded, the rear
seat cup holder must not be open and there
must be no objects in the rear seat. Nor may
the seat belts be connected. Otherwise there
is a risk of damage to the rear seat uphols-
tery.

NOTE

The front seats may need to be pushed for-
wards, and/or the backrests adjusted
upwards, in order that the rear backrests can
be fully folded forward.

•

Both sections can be folded separately.

•

If the entire backrest is to be folded then the
different sections should be folded sepa-
rately.

If the right-hand section is being lowered -
release and adjust head restraint for the cen-
tre seat, see the earlier section "Head
restraint, centre seat, rear".

The outer head restraints are lowered auto-
matically when the backrests are lowered.
Pull up the backrest's locking handle
while folding the backrest forward at the
same time. A red indicator on the lock catch

shows that the backrest is no longer

locked in place.

NOTE

When the backrests have been lowered the
head restraints must be moved forward
slightly so as not to make contact with the
seat cushion.

Raising takes place in reverse order.

NOTE

When the backrest has been raised, the red
indicator should no longer be showing. If it is
still showing then the backrest is not locked
in place.

WARNING

Check that the backrests and head restraints

in the rear seat are locked properly after

being folded up.

The intensity of the instrument lighting is
adjusted with the thumbwheel.

Headlamp levelling

The load in the car changes the vertical align-
ment of the headlamp beam, which could dazzle
oncoming motorists. Avoid this by adjusting the
height of the beam. Lower the beam if the car is
heavily laden.
