Instrument panel

The instrument panel shows notifications and information related to your driving and the vehicle itself.
Instrument panel location

The instrument panel is located in front of the driver, behind the steering wheel.

The instrument panel activates as soon as you open a door and turns off if it isn't used for a short period of time. To turn it back on, either open a door or turn the start knob clockwise and quickly let it go.

Use the steering wheel buttons to interact with the display and control what's shown on the screen.

Examples of information that can be shown in the instrument panel are:
  • Warning and indicator symbols
  • Speed
  • Navigation
  • Notification messages
  • Fuel gauge
  • Trip meter

Display modes

There are two instrument panel modes that you can choose from: calm and map. Use the instrument panel mode button on the steering wheel to change the display mode.
CalmThis displays essential information, such as speed, fuel level and range, as well as warning and indicator symbols.
MapThe instrument panel shows your current navigation route on a map, as well as essential driving and vehicle information.

 Warning

If the instrument panel turns off, doesn't turn on or is only partially legible, you must not use the vehicle. This is because the driver will not receive warnings and vehicle status information shown in the instrument panel, such as warnings and information relating to brakes, airbags or other safety systems. If there is an issue with the instrument panel, contact an authorized Volvo workshop.

 Tip

You can change the instrument panel settings in the center display.
