Volvo XC90. Using the windshield and head-light washers

Washer function, right steering wheel lever.

  • Move the right-hand steering wheel lever toward the steering wheel to start the windshield and headlight washers.
    • After the lever is released, the wipers perform several additional wipes.

Headlamp washers*

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

Reducing 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 theVolvo 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. The headlights are only washed if high or low beam is on.
