12 volt sockets

The 12 volt sockets can be used to plug in certain accessories such as cellular telephones, etc. The key
must be in position I (or higher) for the auxiliary socket to function. The auxiliary sockets can also be
used for cigarette lighters, which are available at your Volvo retailer.
NOTE: The cover should be kept on when the auxiliary socket is not in use.

Stability system STC or DSTC

The stability system - Stability and Traction Control (STC), or the optional Dynamic Stability and
Traction Control (DSTC) - activate automatically when the car is started. In certain situations, it may be
necessary to disable the system's anti-spin function, for example, while driving for a short period with
tires of different dimensions.

To disable the anti-spin function:

Press the STC or DSTC button for approximately one second. The indicator light in the button will go
out, and STC/DSTC SPIN CONTROL OFF will be shown in the information display.
