With the steering wheel lever's lighting ring in the

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
or position, the daytime running
lights will be on.
NOTE
Volvo recommends use of Daytime Running
Lights in the US. Its use is mandatory in Can-

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.
