INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS

Instantaneous value

Average value

To view this function, select the theme

"Performance"; see Digital combined instrument

panel - overview (p. 67).

Eco guide & Power guide*

Eco guide and Power guide are two combined

instrument panel (p. 66) instruments which help

the driver to drive the car with optimum driving

economy.

Instantaneous value

The instantaneous value is shown here - the

higher the reading on the scale, the better.

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. 120).

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.

Eco guide

This instrument provides an indication of how

economically the car is being driven.

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.

To view this function, select the theme "Eco"; see

Digital combined instrument panel - overview

(p. 67).

Available engine power

Engine power utilised

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.

Available engine power

The smaller, upper pointer shows the available

engine power⁹. The higher the reading on the

scale, the more power is available in the current

gear.

Power guide

Engine power utilised

This instrument shows the relationship between

how much power (Power) is being taken from the

engine and how much power is available.

The larger, lower pointer shows the engine power

utilised⁹. The higher the reading on the scale, the

more power is being taken from the engine.

A large gap between the two pointers indicates a

large power reserve.

9

Power is dependent on engine speed.

INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS

ABS fault

Combined instrument panel -

meaning of indicator symbols

The indicator symbols alert the driver that a func-

tion is activated, that the system is operating, or

that an error or failure has occurred.

Symbol Specification

Information, read display text

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.

Main beam On

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

engine.

Indicator symbols

Left-hand direction indicator

Right-hand direction indicator

2. Restart the engine.

Symbol Specification

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

Stability system

Tyre pressure system , see Tyre

monitoring (TM)* (p. 332)

Stability system, see Electronic sta-

bility control (ESC) - general

(p. 184)

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.

ABL fault

Stability system, sport mode

The symbol illuminates if a fault has arisen in the

ABL function (Active Bending Lights).

Stability system, sport mode, see

Electronic stability control (ESC) -

operation (p. 186)

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.

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.
