CAUTION
The driver is always responsible for operat-
ing the vehicle in a safe manner and adher-
ing to all applicable laws and regulations. It
is also important that the vehicle is oper-
ated, maintained and serviced according to
Volvo's recommendations provided in the
owner's information.
If the information in the center display dif-
fers from the printed information, the prin-
ted information always takes precedence.
NOTE
Changing languages in the center display
could mean that certain owner's informa-
tion will not comply with national or local
laws and regulations. Do not change to a
language you do not speak well, as it can
be difficult to find your way back through
the menu.
