Get LIGHTING -> Direction indicators and hazard warning flashers Guide for Volvo XC40 SUV Second Generation (2022-2026)

LIGHTING

Using direction indicators

Active bending lights*

NOTE

The car's direction indicators are operated

with the left-hand stalk switch. The direction

indicator lamps flash three times or continu-

ously, depending on how far up or down the

stalk switch is moved.

Active bending lights are designed to provide

additional illumination in bends and junctions.

Cars with LED³headlamps* can have active

bending lights, depending on the car's equip-

ment level.

This automatic flashing sequence can

be stopped by moving the stalk switch

immediately in the opposite direction.

•

If the symbol for direction indicators in

the driver display flashes more quickly

than normal - see the message in the

driver display.

Continuous flash sequence

Move the stalk switch up or down to its

end position.

The stalk switch remains in its position and is

moved back manually, or automatically by the

steering wheel movement.
