automatically returns to its original position after
a short time.

The function can be activated/deactivated in the
menu system MY CAR, see MY CAR (p. 113).

Automatic retraction when locking

When the car is locked/unlocked with the remote
control key the door mirrors are automatically
retracted/extended.

The function can be activated/deactivated in the
menu system MY CAR, see MY CAR (p. 113).

Resetting to neutral

Mirrors that have been moved out of position by
an external force must be reset electrically to the
neutral position for electric retracting/extending
to work correctly:

1. Retract the mirrors with the L and R buttons.

2. Fold them out again with the L and R but-

tons.

3. Repeat the above procedure as necessary.

The mirrors are now reset in neutral position.

Retractable power door mirrors

The mirrors can be retracted for parking/driving
in narrow spaces:

1. Depress the L and R buttons simultaneously

(key position must be at least I).

2. Release them after approximately 1 second.

The mirrors automatically stop in the fully
retracted position.

Fold out the mirrors by pressing down the L and
R buttons simultaneously. The mirrors automati-
cally stop in the fully extended position.

Home safe and approach lighting

The lamp on the door mirrors illuminates when
approach lighting (p. 102) or home safe lighting
(p. 102) is selected.

Heating, rear window and door mirrors

The function is used to remove ice and misting
from the windscreen, rear window and door mir-
rors.

One press of the respective button starts the
heating. The light in the button indicates that the
function is active. Switch off the heating as soon
as the ice/misting is cleared in order not to load
the battery unnecessarily. However, the function
is switched off automatically after a certain time.

INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS

* Option/accessory.

108

The door mirrors and rear window are demisted/
defrosted automatically if the car is started in an
outside temperature lower than +7 °C. Automatic
defrosting can be selected in the menu system
MY CAR, see MY CAR (p. 113).

The compass (p. 109) is deactivated when the
heated windscreen is activated. When the heated
windscreen is deactivated, the compass is reacti-
vated.

Rearview mirror - interior

The interior rearview mirror can be dimmed with
a control in the mirror's lower edge. Alternatively,
the rearview mirror dims automatically.

Control for dimming

Manual dimming

Bright light from behind could be reflected in the
rearview mirror and dazzle the driver. Use dim-
ming with the dimming control when lights from
behind are distracting:

1. Use dimming by moving the control in

towards the passenger compartment.

2. Return to normal position by moving the con-

trol towards the windscreen.

Automatic dimming

Bright light from behind is automatically dimmed
by the rearview mirror. The control for manual
dimming is not available on mirrors with auto-
matic dimming.

The rearview mirror contains two sensors - one
forward facing and one rearward facing - that
work together to identify and eliminate dazzling
light. The forward facing sensor detects ambient
light, while the rearward facing sensor detects
the light from vehicle headlights behind.

NOTE

If the sensors are obscured by e.g. parking
permits, transponders, sun visors or objects in
the seats or in the cargo area in such a way
that light is prevented from reaching the sen-
sors, then the dimming function of the rear-
view mirror is reduced.

Only rearview mirror with automatic dimming can
be equipped with compass (p. 109).

to operate the blind.

Compass*

The upper right-hand corner of the rearview mir-
ror contains a display that shows the compass
direction in which the front of the car is pointing.

Operation

Eight different directions are shown with English
abbreviations:

(north),

(north east),

(east),

(south east),

(south),

(south west),

(west) and

(north west).

The compass is activated automatically when the
car is started or when key position II is active, see
Key positions - functions at different levels
(p. 81). To deactivate/activate the compass -
press in the button on the rear side of the mirror
using a paper clip for example.

The compass is deactivated when the heated
windscreen is activated. When the heated wind-
screen is deactivated, the compass is reactivated.

Calibration

The earth is divided into 15 magnetic zones. The
compass is set for the geographic area to which
the car was delivered. The compass should be
calibrated if the car is moved across several mag-
netic zones. Proceed as follows:

1. Stop the car in a large open area free from

steel structures and high-voltage power lines.

2. Start the car.

NOTE

For the best calibration, switch off all electri-
cal equipment (climate control system, wipers,
etc.) and makes sure that all doors are closed.

3. Hold the button on the underside of the rear-

view mirror depressed approx. 3 seconds.
The number of the current magnetic zone is
shown.

Magnetic zones.

4. Press the button repeatedly until the

required magnetic zone (

1–15

) is shown.

See the map of magnetic zones for the com-
pass.

5. Wait until the display returns to showing the

character

, or hold the button on the bot-

tom of the rearview mirror depressed for
approx. 6 seconds (use e.g. a paper clip) until
the character

is shown.

6. Drive slowly in a circle at a speed of no more

than 10 km/h (6 mph) until a compass direc-
tion is shown in the display, indicating that
calibration is complete. Then drive a further 2
circles to fine-tune calibration.

7. Repeat the above procedure as necessary.

The menus shown on the information display in
the combined instrument panel (p. 66) are con-

MY CAR

MY CAR is a menu source that handles many of
the car's functions, e.g. City Safety

™, locks and

alarm, automatic fan speed, setting the clock,
etc.

Certain functions are standard, others are
optional - the range also varies depending on the
market.

Operation

Navigation in the menus is carried out using but-
tons in the centre console or with the steering
wheel's right-hand keypad

A message can also be acknowledged via the thumbwheel or RESET button.

Trip computer

The car's trip computer records and calculates
vales such as e.g. distance, fuel consumption
and average speed whilst driving.

Trip computer content and appearance varies
depending on whether the combined instrument
panel is analogue or digital:

INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS

115

The information from the trip computer can be shown in
the combined instrument panel's information display

Trip meter

The trip computer has two trip meters and one
odometer for the total mileage.

Average

Average fuel consumption is calculated from the
last resetting.

NOTE

There may be a slight deviation if a fuel-driven
heater

* has been used.

Average speed

The average speed is calculated for the driving
distance driven since the last reset to zero.

Instantaneous

The information for current fuel consumption is
updated continuously - approximately once per
second. When the car is driven at low speed the
consumption is shown per time unit - at a higher
speed it is shown related to mileage.

Different units (km/miles) can be selected for the
display - see section below."Change unit"
(p. 114)

Range - distance to empty tank

The trip computer shows the approximate dis-
tance that can be driven with the fuel quantity
remaining in the tank.

No guaranteed range remains when the heading

Distance to empty

shows "

----

•

In which case, refuel as soon as possible.

The calculation is based on the average fuel con-
sumption over the last 30 km and the remaining
driveable fuel quantity.

NOTE

There may be a slight deviation if the driving
style has been changed.

An economic driving style generally results in a
longer driving distance. For more information on

how fuel consumption can be influenced, see
Environmental philosophy (p. 22).

Digital speed display in another unit

If the main instrument is graduated in mph, the
equivalent digital speed is shown as km/h.

Change unit

Distance and fuel unit can be changed in the
menu system MY CAR, see MY CAR (p. 113).

NOTE

In addition to in the trip computer, these units
are also changed in Volvo's navigation sys-
tem
