How to Switch Volvo Dashboard Modes?

Start the car, then locate the OK button on the top of the turn signal lever. At this point, the dashboard will pop up a menu. Then, on the middle part of the turn signal lever, rotate the knob to switch between the dashboard menu options. Next, select the mode and press the OK button on the turn signal lever once it's selected. Then, enter the display mode switching interface. Choose the red mode by rotating the knob—this mode allows the speed to be displayed in the center.

When driving my Volvo XC90, the dashboard mode switching is particularly intuitive. There's a multifunctional roller on the left side of the steering wheel. After starting the vehicle, you can scroll through different options like Eco, Comfort, and Dynamic modes by turning it. Once you've made your selection, simply press the central confirmation button to complete the process. You can also find driving mode adjustments in the settings on the central touchscreen. I prefer switching to Dynamic mode on highways, as the car responds more sharply and the dashboard display becomes more dynamic; in the city, I switch to Eco mode to save fuel, which can reduce consumption by about 10%. It's recommended to perform the switch while stationary to ensure safety. This feature is designed very user-friendly, taking only seconds to complete without affecting daily commuting efficiency.

Having driven Volvo for years, I've discovered that switching dashboard modes is a handy trick that enhances the overall experience. Use the steering wheel buttons to quickly select modes—for example, Eco mode lowers fuel consumption with a blue icon display; Comfort mode softens the suspension with gentle dashboard visuals; Sport mode turns the interface red for quicker acceleration. The operation is simple—just turn and press—without interrupting driving, making it ideal for automatically adapting to road conditions during long trips. Personally, I prefer Normal mode for commuting, and the system remembers the selection to restore it upon next startup. I recommend periodically trying different modes to understand how the vehicle's performance changes, which feels more reassuring than directly altering settings.

When switching Volvo dashboard modes, I always prioritize safety. The steering wheel controls allow you to select between Economy, Standard, or Dynamic modes at low speeds or when parked—just scroll through the options and confirm. The operation is quick and distraction-free, with the dashboard instantly updating displays like speedometer color changes. Different modes affect acceleration but stay within safe limits: Economy mode is fuel-efficient, while Standard mode offers the most balanced daily driving. A quick vehicle status check before switching is all that's needed.
