Automatically dimmed inner rear-view mirror
This is a mirror that automatically adjusts itself to deflect the
headlamp beams of the car behind you. When there’s no light
to dazzle you, it automatically readjusts to its normal setting.
This can be supplemented with an integrated compass.
rain sensor
Once activated, the rain sensor can start the windscreen
wipers as soon as it begins to rain or if water splashes onto
the windscreen. For your convenience, it can also automatically
adapt the intermittent windscreen-wiper function. Its sensitivity
can be adjusted via a ring on the wiper stalk.

Employing the latest information technology, your Volvo is prepared to support and entertain
you at a very high level. Surround yourself and your friends with world-class sound and enjoy
the innovations that help ensure your command of the road and the pleasure of travelling.
Blind Spot information System (BliS)
BLIS uses rear-facing cameras installed in the door mirrors
to keep a lookout on either side of the car. As a vehicle enters
your blind spot, this function can alert you with a lamp built
in to the front door post – left or right. Together with the
door mirrors, this helps you assess the feasibility of a lane
change. BLIS is activated once the car exceeds 10 km/h,
and reacts to almost any type of vehicle from a motorcycle
upwards, day or night.
park assist, rear
u
park assist, front
Activated when you engage reverse gear, rear park
assist helps you when reversing into tight spaces. The
audio system is turned down and a pulsating sound from
the rear loudspeakers becomes a continuous tone as you
approach an obstacle. Front park assist performs a similar
function at the front of the vehicle – alerting you via the
front loudspeakers.

personal settings
Define your Volvo’s convenience and security settings according to your personal preferences using this

Safe lighting and the Intelligent Driver Information System.
Keyless drive
Keep the car key in your pocket or handbag. Using the keyless drive technology you can unlock the
doors and drive away without using the car key. To start the engine, just turn the starter control in the
instrument panel.
integrated phone
For minimum distraction, the integrated GSM
phone allows you to make calls from your pre-
programmed telephone book using the steering
wheel integrated controls. You can also make
calls using the keypad in the centre console.
And when the car is stationary, you can read
and send SMS text messages. For more private
conversations, there’s an extra handset.
road and Traffic information (rTi)
Volvo’s GPS-based RTI navigation system offers
both voice guidance and graphic navigation all
the way to your destination. Via TMC (Traffic
Message Channel) radio data broadcasts, RTI
also lets you know if there’s weather-related
trouble on route and recommends an alternative.
Extremely swift and precise, this new generation
RTI features a hard disc drive covering maps
for major parts of Europe. The system is fully
integrated in your Volvo and is easily controlled
from the steering wheel or optional remote, and
the screen is positioned so you can keep your
attention on traffic. You can choose between two
operating modes – Easy and Advanced. When
RTI is not needed, the screen is hidden into the
dash. To help you keep track of new roads and
points of interest, you can join our MapCare
programme for two free map updates.
