Reduced washing
If only approx. 1 litre of washer fluid remains in
the reservoir and the message that you should
fill the washer fluid is shown in the combined
instrument panel's display, then the supply of
washer fluid to the headlamps is switched off.
This is in order to prioritise cleaning the wind-
screen and the visibility through it.
Rear window wiper and washer
Intermittent wiping: Depress the top of the
button.
Constant speed: Depress the bottom of
the button.
Move the stalk switch forward to start rear win-
dow washing and wiping. The wiper blade
makes several extra sweeps once washing has
finished.
NOTE
The rear window wiper is equipped with
overheating protection which means that
the motor is switched off if it overheats. The
rear window wiper works again after a cool-
ing period (30 seconds or longer, depending
on the heat in the motor and the outside
temperature).
Wiper – reversing
Engaging reverse gear while the windscreen
wipers are on initiates intermittent rear window
wiping. If the rear window wiper is already on
at normal speed, no change is made.
The function for intermittent wiping for reverse
can be deactivated. Volvo recommends that
you contact an authorised Volvo workshop.
02 Instruments and controls
Right-hand stalk switch
Rain sensor*
The rain sensor automatically activates the
windscreen wipers based on how much water
it detects on the windscreen. The sensitivity of
the rain sensor can be adjusted using the
thumbwheel (2), see page 64.
Turn the thumbwheel upwards for higher sen-
sitivity and downwards for lower sensitivity, (an
extra sweep is made when the thumbwheel is
turned upwards).
On/Off
When activating the rain sensor, the remote
control key must be in position I or II and the
windscreen wiper stalk switch must be in posi-
tion 0 (not activated).
