The rain sensor is automatically deactivated
when the remote control key is removed from
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 posi-
tion 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
windscreen washing. Turn the stalk switch
toward the steering wheel to wash the wind-
screen only.
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 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 windscreen and the visibility
through it.
