Malfunction Indicator Light


As you drive, a computer called On-Board Diagnostics II (OBDII) monitors your vehicle's engine, transmission, electrical and emission systems. The malfunction indicator (CHECK ENGINE) light will illuminate if the computer senses a condition that potentially may need correcting. When this happens, please have your vehicle checked by a trained and qualified Volvo serv- ice technician as soon as possible.


A malfunction indicator (CHECK ENGINE) light may have many causes. Sometimes, you may not notice a change in your car's behavior. Even so, an uncorrected condition could hurt fuel economy, emission controls, and drivabil- ity. Extended driving without correcting the cause could even damage other components in your vehicle. This light may illuminate if the fuel filler cap is not closed tightly or if the engine was running while the vehicle was refueled.


Canadian models are equipped with this


symbol for the Malfunction Indicator Light.

Activate/deactivate AHB by pulling the left steering wheel lever rearward (toward the steering wheel) as far as possible and releasing it. If AHB is deactivated while the high beams are on, the headlights will switch to low beams.


Active high beams – AHB* AHB is a feature that uses a camera at the upper edge of the windshield to detect the headlights of oncoming vehicles or the tail- lights of a vehicle directly ahead. When this happens, the headlights will automatically switch from high beams to low beams. When the camera no longer detects the headlights/ taillights of other vehicles, your headlights will switch back to high beams after several sec- onds. To activate this feature, turn the light switch to position. Activation will occur if the the engine has been running for at least 20 seconds and the vehicle's speed is at least 12 mph (20 km/h).


If the symbol illuminates in the instru- ment panel and AHB unavailable is displayed, switching between high and low beams will have to be done manually. The light switch can remain in the AUTO position. The same applies if Windscreen Sensors blocked is displayed and the

Operation


Rearview mirror with compass. The rearview mirror has an integrated display that shows the compass direction in which the vehicle is pointing. Eight different directions are shown with the abbreviations: N (north), NE (north east), E (east), SE (southeast), S (south), SW (southwest), 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 or similar object and press in the button on the underside of the mirror.

3. Using a pen or similar object, press and


hold the button on the underside of mirror until C is shown again in the mirror (after approx. 6 seconds).


4. Drive as usual. C disappears from the dis-


play when calibration is complete. Alternative calibration method: Drive slowly in a circle at a speed of no more than 5 mph (8 km/h) until C disap- pears from the display when calibration is complete.
