Eco guide & Hybrid guide

Eco guide and Hybrid guide are two combined
instrument panel (p. 68) instruments which help
the driver to drive the car with optimum driving
economy.

The car also stores statistics of journeys made,
which can be viewed in the form of a block dia-
gram; see Trip computer - trip statistics

(p. 121).

Eco guide

This instrument provides an indication of how
economically the car is being driven.

To view this function, select the theme "Eco"; see
Digital combined instrument panel - overview
(p. 69).

Instantaneous value

Average value

Instantaneous value

The instantaneous value is shown here - the
higher the reading on the scale, the better.

The instantaneous value is calculated based on
speed, engine speed, engine power utilised plus
use of the foot brake.

Optimum speed (50-80 km/h (30-50 mph)) and
low engine speeds are encouraged. The pointers
fall during acceleration and braking.

Very low instantaneous values illuminate the red
zone on the meter (with a short delay), which
means poor driving economy and hence should
be avoided.

Average value

The average value slowly follows the instantane-
ous value and describes how the car has been
driven most recently. The higher the pointers on
the scale, the better the economy achieved by
the driver.

Hybrid guide

This instrument shows the relationship between
how much power is being taken from the electric
motor and how much power is available.

To view this function, select the theme "Hybrid"
or "Performance", see Digital combined instru-
ment panel - overview (p. 69).

Driver-requested power

Available electric motor power

Where the two pointers meet is the threshold for
when the internal combustion engine starts/
stops.

Driver-requested power

The large pointer indicates the amount of engine
power requested by the driver by regulating the
accelerator pedal. The higher the reading on the
scale, the more power is requested by the driver
in the current gear.

Available electric motor power

The small pointer indicates the amount of power
currently available for the electric motor.

A large gap between the two pointers indicates a
large power reserve.

INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS

ABL fault

The symbol illuminates if a fault has arisen in the
ABL function (Active Bending Lights).

Emissions system

If the symbol illuminates after the engine has
been started then it may be due to a fault in the
car's emissions system. Drive to a workshop for
checking. Volvo recommends that you seek
assistance from an authorised Volvo workshop.

ABS fault

If this symbol illuminates then the system is not
working. The car's regular brake system contin-
ues to work, but without the ABS function.

1. Stop the car in a safe place and turn off the

engine.

2. Restart the engine.

3. If the symbol remains illuminated, drive to a

workshop to have the ABS system checked.
Volvo recommends that you seek assistance
from an authorised Volvo workshop.

Rear fog lamp on

This symbol illuminates when the rear fog lamp is
switched on.

Stability system

A flashing symbol indicates that the stability sys-
tem is operating. If the symbol illuminates with
constant glow then there is a fault in the system.

Stability system, sport mode

The symbol illuminates when the sport mode is
activated. Sport mode allows for a more active
driving experience. The system then detects
whether the accelerator pedal, steering wheel
movements and cornering are more active than in
normal driving and then allows controlled skid-
ding of the rear section up to a certain level
before it intervenes and stabilises the car.

Engine preheater

This symbol illuminates during engine preheating.
Preheating takes place mostly due to low tem-
perature.

Low level in fuel tank

When the symbol illuminates the level in the fuel
tank is low, refuel as soon as possible.
