Auxiliary sockets

These 12 volt sockets can be used to plug in certain accessories such as cellular telephones, etc. The key must be in
position I (or higher) for the auxiliary socket to function.

The auxiliary sockets can also be used for cigarette lighters, which are available at your Volvo retailer.

NOTE: 

The cover should be kept on when the auxiliary socket is not in use.

Ashtrays

Volvo cars in North America do not have an ashtray in the front seat as standard equipment. If you want to have an
ashtray in the front seat, please contact your Volvo retailer.

pg. 38 Instruments and controls

Electrically operated windows

Electrically operated windows

The electrically operated windows are controlled by buttons in the arm rests. The ignition switch must be ON *
(ignition key in position I, II or the engine running) for the electrically operated windows to function.

To lower: Press down the front edge of the button to the first detent ("stop").

To raise: Lightly pull up the front edge of the button to the first detent ("stop").

* The electrically operated windows will also function after the ignition has been switched off as long as neither of the
front doors has been opened.

Auto up/down function (front doors only):

Either front door window can be opened or closed automatically.

Auto down: 

Press the front part of the button as far down as possible and release it immediately. To stop the window

at any time, pull the button up.

Auto up: 

Pull the front part of the button up as far as possible and release it immediately. To stop the window at any

time, press the button down.

A - front windows,, B - rear windows

NOTE: 

The electrically operated windows in the front seat have an overload protecting circuit breaker which reverses

movement of the electrically operated windows to their starting points if they are obstructed in any way. Thereafter the
windows will operate normally again.

WARNING!

Always remove the ignition key when the vehicle is unattended.
