To save washer fluid, the headlights are washed automatically according to a defined interval when the headlights are on.

Reduced washing

When there is about 1 liter (1 qt) of washer fluid left in the reservoir and the Washer fluid Level low, refill message is displayed in the instrument panel together with the Volvo XC90. Using the windshield and head-light washers symbol, the washer fluid supply to the headlights is cut off. This is to prioritize windshield cleaning and visibility through it.
