The gauges, indicators, symbols and functions displayed in the instrument panel depend on the equipment/systems installed in the vehicle and which functions are currently activated.
The instrument panel is available in two versions: 12" and 8".
Some of the functions listed below are optional.
Warning
- If the instrument panel is not functioning properly, information about e.g., brakes, airbags or other safety-related messages cannot be displayed and the driver cannot be alerted to possible problems.
- If the instrument panel turns off, does not activate when the ignition is switched on or is completely/partially not possible to read, do not drive the vehicle. Contact a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.

The instrument panel is activated as soon as a door is opened (i.e., ignition mode 0). After a short period, the panel will go out if it is not used.
To reactivate it, do one of the following:
- Press the brake pedal
- Turn the start knob to START and release it (without pressing the brake pedal). This activates ignition mode I
- Open one of the doors
