Where is the light switch for the Volvo XC90?
2 Answers
The light switch for the Volvo XC90 is located on the stalk switch below the steering wheel. Turn it to the designated position, and the corresponding exterior lights will illuminate, while the dashboard will also display the corresponding indicator. The Volvo XC90 has a length, width, and height of 4953mm, 1958mm, and 1776mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2984mm. The front suspension of the Volvo XC90 is a double-wishbone independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a multi-link independent suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 250PS, a maximum power of 184kW, and a maximum torque of 350Nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
On the Volvo XC90, the position of the light switch is actually quite easy to find. Having driven this model many times, I can confirm it's the stalk on the left side of the steering wheel. There's a rotary knob on this stalk that controls the lights' on/off and mode switching. For example, turning it to 'auto' mode allows the lights to adjust automatically based on ambient brightness, saving you the hassle of manual operation. If you prefer manual control, the knob's positions are clearly marked—off for turning the lights off, and distinct positions for low beam or high beam. This design has been consistent in newer XC90 models since around 2015, with the switch conveniently placed so you can operate it without taking your hands off the wheel, minimizing distraction while driving. Older models, however, might have a separate rotary knob near the instrument panel. It's crucial to spend a few minutes familiarizing yourself with the controls before driving to ensure the lights function properly. Since headlights are essential for nighttime safety, don’t overlook checking their status due to the switch's location. Make it a habit to turn on the lights after starting the car to prevent unexpected incidents.
