High-pressure headlamp washing*
High-pressure headlamp washing consumes a
large quantity of washer fluid. To save fluid, the
headlamps are only washed every fifth wash
cycle (within a 10 minute period). When 10
minutes have elapsed following the latest
windscreen washing, the headlamps are once
again washed with high-pressure with the first
windscreen washing. Turn the stalk switch
toward the steering wheel to wash the wind-
screen only.
1 This function (intermittent wiping when reversing) can be deactivated. Contact an authorised Volvo workshop.
