Volvo S60 Cross Country (2018 year). Instruction

Volvo Sensus is the heart of the personal Volvo
experience and connects you with the car and
outside world. Sensus provides information,
entertainment and assistance when it is needed.
Sensus consists of intuitive functions that both
enhance the car journey and simplifies owner-
ship of the car.

An intuitive navigation structure makes it possible
to receive relevant support, information and
entertainment when it is necessary, without dis-
tracting the driver.

Sensus covers all the car's solutions that enable
connection

* to the outside world and provides

you with intuitive control over all the car's capabil-
ities.

Volvo Sensus combines and presents many func-
tions in several of the car's systems on the centre
console's screen. With Volvo Sensus the car can

be personalised by means of an intuitive user
interface. Settings can be made in Car settings,
Audio and media, Climate control, etc.

With the centre console buttons and controls or
the steering wheel's right-hand keypad

* functions

can be activated or deactivated and many differ-
ent settings can be made.

With a press on MY CAR all settings related to
the driving and control of the car are presented,
such as City Safety, locks and alarm, automatic
fan speed, setting the clock, etc.

With a press on the respective function RADIO,
MEDIA, TEL

*, NAV* and CAM

other

sources, systems and functions can be activated,
e.g. AM, FM, CD, DVD

*, TV*, Bluetooth

*, naviga-

tion

* and park assist camera*.

For more information about all functions/
systems, see the relevant section in the owner's
manual or its supplement.

Tunnel detection*

Tunnel detection changes the lighting from day-
time running lights to dipped beam when the car
is driven into a tunnel.

The tunnel detection function is available in cars
with rain sensor

*. The sensor detects the

entrance to a tunnel and resets the lighting from
daytime running lights to dipped beam. Approx.
20 seconds after the car has left the tunnel, the
lighting returns to daytime running lights. If the
car is driven into another tunnel within this time
period then dipped beam is kept switched on.
This avoids repeated changes to the car's light-
ing.

Active main beam*

Active main beam function detects the headlamp
beams from oncoming traffic or the rear lights of
vehicles in front, and switches the lighting from
main beam to dipped beam. The lighting returns
to main beam when the incoming light has stop-
ped.

Active main beam - AHB

Active main beam (Active High Beam - AHB) is a
function which uses a camera sensor at the top
edge of the windscreen to detect the headlamp
beams from oncoming traffic or the rear lights of
vehicles in front, and then switches from main
beam to dipped beam. The function can also take
streetlights into account.

Main beam is reactivated when the camera sen-
sor no longer sees any oncoming vehicles or
vehicles ahead.

Car with halogen headlamps

The lighting returns to main beam about a sec-
ond after the camera sensor no longer detects
the headlamp beams from oncoming traffic or the
rear lights from vehicles in front.

Car with active Xenon headlamps

If the active main beam has the on/off functional-
ity

then the lighting returns to main beam about

a second after the camera sensor no longer

detects the headlamp beams from oncoming
traffic or the rear lights from vehicles in front.

If the active main beam has adaptive functional-
ity

then, unlike what happens during conven-

tional dimming, the light beam continues to illu-
minate with main beam on both sides of oncom-
ing traffic or vehicles ahead - only the part of the
light beam that points directly to the vehicle is
dimmed.

Adaptive functionality: Dipped beam directly toward

oncoming vehicles, but continued main beam on both

sides of the vehicle.

The lighting returns to full main beam about a
second after the camera sensor no longer
detects the headlamp beams from oncoming
traffic or the rear lights from vehicles in front.

Depending on the car's equipment level.

INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS

Activating/deactivating

AHB can be activated when the headlamp con-
trol's knob is in position

(provided that the

function has not been deactivated in the menu
system MY CAR, see MY CAR (p. 109)).

Stalk switch and knob for headlamp control in AUTO

position.

The function can start while driving in the dark
when the car's speed is approx. 20 km/h
(12 mph) or higher.

Activate/deactivate AHB by moving the left-hand
stalk switch towards the steering wheel to the
end position and then releasing. Deactivation
when main beam is on means that the lights are
reset directly to dipped beam.

Car with analogue combined instrument
panel

When AHB is activated the

symbol illumi-

nates in the instrument's information display.

When main beam is switched on the

sym-

bol also illuminates in the combined instrument
panel. This also applies for active Xenon head-
lamps if the main beam is partially dimmed, i.e. as
soon as the light beam shines with slightly more
than dipped beam.

Car with digital combined instrument panel

When AHB is activated the

symbol turns

white in the instrument's information display.

When main beam is activated, the symbol turns
blue. This also applies for active Xenon head-
lamps if the main beam is partially dimmed, i.e. as
soon as the light beam shines with slightly more
than dipped beam.

Manual operation

NOTE

Keep the windscreen surface in front of the
camera sensor free from ice, snow, mist and
dirt.

Do not stick or attach anything to the wind-
screen in front of the camera sensor as this
may reduce effectiveness or cause one or
more of the systems dependent on the cam-
era to stop working.

If the message

Active main beam Temporary

unavailable Switch manually

is shown in the

combined instrument panel's information display
then you have to switch manually between main
and dipped beam. However, the knob for head-
lamp control can still remain in position

The same applies if the message

Windscreen

sensors blocked See manual

and the

symbol are shown. The

symbol goes out

when these messages are shown.

AHB may be temporarily unavailable e.g. in situa-
tions with dense fog or heavy rain. When AHB
becomes available again, or the windscreen sen-
sors are no longer blocked, the message extin-
guishes and the

symbol illuminates.

WARNING

AHB is an aid for using the optimum beam

pattern when conditions are favourable.
The driver always bears responsibility for man-

ually switching between main and dipped

beam when traffic situations or weather con-

ditions so require.

IMPORTANT

Examples of when manual switching between
main and dipped beam may be required:
