Volvo S60 Inscription (2016 year). Instruction - part 4

Information displays – introduction (p. 58)

When the ambient temperature is between

23° and 36 °F (–5° and +2 °C), a snowflake

symbol will be displayed next to the tem-

perature. This symbol serves as a warning

for possible slippery road surfaces. Please

note that this symbol does not indicate a

fault with your vehicle.
At low speeds or when the vehicle is not

moving, the temperature readings may be

slightly higher than the actual ambient

temperature.

Tunnel detection (models with the rain

Active high beams (AHB)*

AHB uses a camera at the upper edge of the

windshield to detect the headlights of oncom-

ing vehicles or the taillights of a vehicle

directly ahead. When this happens, the head-

lights 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 seconds.

To activate AHB:

•

Turn the headlight control to the

position.

The feature will begin functioning if the engine

has been running for at least 20 seconds and

the vehicle's speed is at least 12 mph

(20 km/h).

Headlight switch in the AUTO position

Switch AHB on or off by pulling the left steer-

ing wheel lever rearward (toward the steering

wheel) as far as possible and releasing it. If

AHB is switched off while the high beams are

on, the headlights will change to low beams.

Models with an analog instrument panel

When AHB is activated, the

symbol will

illuminate in the instrument panel. The high
beam indicator (

) in the instrument panel

will also illuminate when the high beams are

on.

again or if the sensors in the windshield are

no longer obscured, the messages will disap-
pear and the

symbol will illuminate.

CAUTION

In the following situations, it may be nec-

essary to switch between high and low

beams manually:

•

In heavy fog or rain

•

In blowing snow or slush

•

In bright moonlight

•

In freezing rain

•

In areas with dim street lighting

•

Tunnel detection (models with the rain

sensor* only)

For models without automatic low beams,

tunnel detection activates the low beams

when the vehicle enters a tunnel. The low

beams are switched off approx. 20 seconds

after the vehicle leaves the tunnel.

The rain sensor reacts to the change in light-

ing conditions when, for example, the vehicle

enters a tunnel and the tunnel detection fea-

ture will then activate the low beam head-

lights. The low beams will be switched off

approx. 20 seconds after the vehicle leaves

the tunnel.
The rain sensor does not have to be activated

for tunnel detection to function.
