02 Instruments and controls
Right-hand stalk switch
The rain sensor is automatically deactivated
when the remote control key is removed from
02
the ignition switch or 5 minutes after the igni-
tion is switched off.
IMPORTANT
The windscreen wipers could start and be
damaged in an automatic car wash. Deac-
tivate the rain sensor by depressing button
(2) while the remote control key is in position
I or II.
Windscreen/headlamp washer
Move the stalk switch toward the steering
wheel to start the windscreen and headlamp
washers. The wipers will make several more
sweeps once the stalk switch is released.
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 again
washed with high-pressure with the first wind-
screen washing. Turn the stalk switch toward
the steering wheel to wash the windscreen
only.
1 This function (intermittent wiping when reversing) can be deactivated. Volvo recommends that you visit an authorised Volvo workshop to have it deactivated.

Reduced washing
If only approx. 1 litre of washer fluid remains in
the reservoir, the supply to the headlamps and
rear window is cut off. This is in order to priori-
tise visibility through the windscreen.
Wiper and washer, rear window

Move the stalk switch forward to start rear win-
dow washing and wiping. The wiper blade

finished. The button at the end of the stalk
switch has three positions:
Intermittent wiping: Depress the top of the
button.
Neutral position: Function deactivated.
Constant speed: Depress the bottom of
the button.
