Lighting control

Updated 15/11/2023

The different lighting controls are used to control both exterior and interior lighting. The left-hand stalk switch activates and adjusts the exterior lighting. You can both activate and adjust the exterior and interior lighting via the centre display.

Exterior lighting

P5/P6-2222-Stalk with turning ring — Rotating ring in the left-hand stalk switch.

When the car's electrical system is in ignition position II, the following functions are available for the rotating ring's different positions:

Volvo recommends that P5-1707 Symbol AUTO mode is used when the vehicle is driven.

Warning

The car's lighting system is not able to determine when daylight is too weak or sufficiently strong, e.g. in fog and rain, in all situations.

The driver is always responsible for ensuring that the car is driven with a beam pattern suitable for the traffic situation and in accordance with applicable traffic regulations.

Note

Outside lighting such as headlamps and rear lamps may temporarily have condensation on the inside of the lens. This is normal and all exterior lighting is designed to withstand this. Condensation is normally vented out of the lamp housing when the lamp has been switched on for a time.

Exterior and interior lighting

You can adjust the exterior and interior lighting in the centre display.
