Headlamp Levelling - Volvo XC90 TWIN ENGINE Owner's Manual

Adjusting the interior brightness
The lamps inside the car come on differently
depending on the ignition position used.
The thumbwheel adjusts the brightness of display
lighting, control lighting, ambient lighting and
ambience lighting.

Headlamp levelling

The load in the car changes the vertical align-
ment of the headlamp beam, which could dazzle
oncoming motorists. Avoid this by adjusting the
height of the beam. Lower the beam if the car is
heavily laden.
For different load cases and settings, see the
section "Headlamp levelling".
