Instrument Panel
The instrument panel displays information related to the vehicle and driving.
The instrument panel contains gauges, indicators and monitoring and warning symbols. What is shown in the instrument panel varies depending on the equipment, settings and functions currently active.
The instrument panel is activated as soon as a door is opened, i.e. in ignition mode 0. The panel will power down after a short period of time if it is not used. To reactivate it, do one of the following:
- Depress the brake pedal.
Activate ignition mode I.
Open one of the doors.
The instrument panel is available in two versions: 8″ and 12″*.
WARNING
If the instrument panel turns off, does not activate when the ignition is switched on, or part/all of the panel cannot be read, do not drive the vehicle. Consult a workshop immediately. Volvo recommends an authorized Volvo workshop.
WARNING
If the instrument panel is not functioning properly, information about brakes, airbags or other safety-related systems may not be displayed. The driver will then not be able to check the status of the vehicle systems or receive relevant warnings and information.

Tourist – alternative speedometer
Unit standards for distance, speed, etc. can be changed via system settings in the center display.
Trip Odometer
There are two trip odometers: TM and TA.
TM can be reset manually and TA is reset automatically if the vehicle is not used for four hours.
During a drive, the trip odometer registers data on:
- Mileage
Driving time
Average speed
Average fuel consumption
The readings since the trip odometer’s last reset are displayed.
Odometer
The odometer records the vehicle’s total mileage. This reading cannot be reset.
Current fuel consumption
This gauge shows the vehicle’s fuel consumption at that moment. The reading is updated about once a second.
Distance to Empty Tank
The trip computer calculates the distance that can be driven on the fuel remaining in the tank.
This calculation is based on average fuel consumption during the last 30 km (20 miles) and the amount of fuel remaining in the tank.
When the gauge displays “—-“, there is not enough fuel remaining to calculate the remaining mileage. Refuel as soon as possible.
NOTE
The information will change based on your driving style.
An economical driving style will generally increase how far you can drive on a certain amount of fuel.
Tourist – Alternative Speedometer
The alternative digital speedometer makes it easier to drive in countries where speed limit signs are shown in a different measurement unit than the one shown in the vehicle’s gauges.
