How to Adjust the Dashboard Brightness of a Volvo?
2 Answers
Below the steering wheel in the Volvo cabin, there is a scroll wheel. Scrolling upwards increases brightness, while scrolling downwards decreases it, allowing the owner to adjust to their preferred brightness level. Here are some specific details about Volvo: 1. Development History: The brand was established in 1927 in Gothenburg, Sweden, by founders Gustav Larson and Assar Gabrielsson. The Volvo Group is a global leader in commercial transport and construction equipment manufacturing, primarily providing trucks, buses, construction equipment, marine and industrial application drive systems, as well as aircraft engine components, along with comprehensive solutions for finance and after-sales services. In 1999, the Volvo Group sold its Volvo car division to Ford Motor Company of the USA. In 2010, Chinese automaker Zhejiang Geely Holding Group acquired the Volvo car business from Ford and obtained ownership of the Volvo car brand. 2. Reputation: Volvo cars enjoy a high reputation in Northern Europe for their superior quality and performance, especially in terms of safety systems, where Volvo has unique expertise. The Highway Loss Data Institute in the USA once rated the ten safest cars, with Volvo topping the list.
I've always driven Volvo cars, and adjusting the dashboard brightness is quite straightforward. On the left side of the steering wheel, there's a small knob or roller—just give it a gentle turn to brighten or dim the display. I often lower the brightness when driving at night to avoid glare, and increase it in strong sunlight to see the data clearly. This makes driving more comfortable and helps reduce distractions. Some people can't find the control and end up checking the settings menu on the center console, where selecting 'Display' or 'Dashboard' options also allows adjustment. Remember to adjust it after starting the engine, otherwise the brightness might be locked. This method works for both newer and older models like the XC90 and S60, offering quick operation and ensuring driving safety.
