V40 Key positions - functions at different levels

The following table shows the functions available in each key position/level.

Level	Functions
0	Odometer, clock and temperature gauge are illuminated. Electrically operated seats can be adjusted. The audio system can be used for a limited time - see Audio and media.
I	Sunroof, power windows, 12 V socket in the passenger compartment, navigation, phone, ventilation fan and windscreen wipers can be used.
II	The headlamps come on. Warning/indicator lamps illuminate for 5 seconds. Several other systems are activated. However, electric heating in seat cushions and the rear window can only be activated after starting the engine. This key position consumes a lot of current from the starter battery and should therefore be avoided!
