Automatic dipped beam (certain
countries)

cept when the headlamp control (1) is in the
centre position. If necessary the automatic
dipped beam can be deactivated by an au-
thorised Volvo workshop.

– Turn the ignition key to position II.
– Dipped beam is activated by means of
turning the headlamp control (1) clockwise
to the end position.
– Main beam is activated by means of mov-
ing the left-hand stalk switch towards the
steering wheel to the end position and
releasing it, see page 51.

when the ignition key is turned to position I
or 0.
Position/parking lamps
Position/parking lamps can be switched on
irrespective of ignition key position.
– Turn the headlamp control (1) to the centre
position.
When the ignition key is in position II the po-
sition/parking lamps and number plate light-

ment of the headlamp beam, which could
dazzle oncoming motorists. Avoid this by ad-
justing the height of the beam.
– Turn the ignition key to position II.
– Turn the headlamp control (1) to one of the
end positions.
– Roll the control (3) up or down respective-
ly to raise or lower beam alignment.
