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.
– Turn the ignition key to position II.
– Turn the headlamp control (2) to one of the
end positions.
– Roll the control (1) up or down respec-
tively to raise or lower beam alignment.
Cars with Bi-Xenon headlamps

have auto-
matic headlamp levelling, so there is no
control (1).
Position/parking lamps
Position/parking lamps can be switched on
irrespective of ignition key position.
– Turn the headlamp control (2) to the centre
position.
When the ignition key is in position II the
position/parking lamps and number plate
lighting are always on.

authorised Volvo workshop.

when the ignition key is turned to position I
or 0.
