The digital instrument cluster of the Volvo S80 (2nd generation, 2013–2016) offers numerous options for individually displaying driving information. This section describes control of the menus, selection of heading combinations, and adjustment of themes and color modes. It also clearly explains resetting consumption and speed values to adapt the display to the respective trip. This improves clarity and supports efficient use.

The trip computer menus are in a continuous loop. One of the options is "dimming" all three trip computer displays - this also marks the start/end of the loop.
