Volvo XC90: Displays and voice control / Ambient temperature sensor

The ambient temperature is shown in the instrument panel.

The sensor detects the temperature outside the vehicle.

If the vehicle has been stationary, the sensor reading may be higher than the actual temperature.

When the ambient temperature is between –5 °C and +2 °C (23 °F and 36 °F), a snowflake symbol will illuminate to alert the driver of the risk of slippery conditions.

The symbol is also temporarily lit in the headup display* if the vehicle is equipped with one.
