Turn the lighting ring to the

position to

turn on the parking lights (the license plate light-
ing will also illuminate).

Canadian models: If the ignition is in the II posi-
tion, the daytime running lights will illuminate
instead of the front parking lights. With the light-
ing ring in this position, the parking lights will
remain on regardless of what position the ignition
is in.

US models: When

mode is selected, the

daytime running lights can be deactivated in the
center display. The parking lights will also be

deactivated. In weak daylight or dark conditions,
the parking lights and low beams will be illumi-
nated.

In dark conditions, the rear parking lights also
illuminate when the tailgate is opened to alert fol-
lowing traffic. This happens regardless of what
position the lighting ring or ignition is in.

Daytime running lights

The vehicle has sensors that detect ambient
lighting conditions. With the lighting ring in the

position, the daytime running lights will

always be activated when the ignition is in mode
II. In weak daylight or dark conditions, the head-
lights automatically switch to low beams.

Lighting ring in AUTO position.

With the steering wheel lever's lighting ring in the

position, the daytime running lights (DRL

)

will illuminate when the vehicle is driven in day-
light conditions. The headlights will switch auto-
matically from daytime running lights to low
beams in weak daylight or dark conditions. The
headlights will also switch to low beams if the
front fog lights* and/or rear fog light are acti-
vated.

US models: When

mode is selected, the

daytime running lights can be deactivated in the
center display. The parking lights will also be
deactivated. In weak daylight or dark conditions,
the parking lights and low beams will be illumi-
nated.

US models: With the lighting ring in the
or

position, the daytime running lights will

be off.

Canadian models: With the lighting ring in the

position, the daytime running

lights will be on.

Volvo recommends use of Daytime Running
Lights in the US. Its use is mandatory in Can-
ada.

WARNING

The system is an energy saving aid – it cannot

in all situations determine when the daylight is

too weak or not strong enough, e.g. when

there is fog or rain.
The driver is always responsible for driving the

vehicle with lighting that is safe for the traffic

conditions and as specified by applicable traf-

fic regulations.

Active high beam (p. 155)

•

Active high beam

Active high beams is a function that uses cam-
era sensors in the upper edge of the windshield
to detect the headlights of approaching vehicles
or the taillights of the vehicle directly ahead.
When either of these is detected, the vehicle's
headlights will automatically switch from high
beams to low beams.

Active high beam is enabled by moving the lighting ring
on the steering wheel lever to

The function can also detect street lighting.
When the camera sensor no longer detects an
approaching vehicle or a vehicle ahead, the head-
lights will return to high beams.

This function can be used in dark conditions
when the vehicle's speed is approx. 20 km/h
(approx. 12 mph) or higher.

If active high beams are deactivated when the
high beams are on, the headlights will automati-
cally switch to low beams.

When active high beams are activated, a white

symbol will be displayed in the instrument

panel.

When high beams are on, the symbol will be blue.
For LED headlights, this applies even if the high
beams are partially dimmed, i.e. if the headlights
are illuminated with slightly more than low beams.

Vehicles with LED

headlights*

If the active high beams are equipped with the
auto on/off function

, the headlights will return to

high beams a second or so after the camera sen-
sor no longer detects the headlights of approach-
ing vehicles or the taillights of a vehicle ahead.

When the low beams are on.

Limitations for active high beams

The camera sensor on which the function is
based has limitations.

If this symbol and the message

Active

High Beam

Temporarily

unavailable

is displayed in the instru-

ment panel, switching between high

and low beams must be done manually. The light-
ing ring on the steering wheel lever can remain in
the

position. The

symbol will go out

when the message is displayed.

The same applies if this symbol along
with the message

Sensor blocked, see

Owner's manual

is displayed.

Active high beams may be temporarily unavailable
in certain situations, e.g. heavy fog or rain. When
active high beams become available again, or the
windshield sensors are no longer blocked, the
message will disappear and the

symbol will

be displayed.

WARNING

Automatic high beam is an aid in using the

best possible light based on prevailing condi-

tions.
The driver is always responsible for manually

switching between high and low beam when

traffic situations or weather conditions require

this.

All power windows and sun curtains* have a
pinch protection function that is triggered if any-

If pinch protection is activated, movement will
stop and then retract automatically to approx.
50 mm (2 inches) from the point at which it was
blocked (or to full ventilation position).

It is still possible to override pinch protection
when closing is interrupted (e.g. due to ice) by
pressing and holding down the control in the
same direction.

If there is any problem with the pinch protection,
a rest procedure can be tested.

WARNING

If the starter battery is disconnected, the func-

tion for automatic opening and closing must

be reset to function correctly. A reset is

required in order for the pinch protection to

work.
