1997 Volvo 850
pg. 2:11 Clock, Ambient temperature sensor (certain models)
Resetting the clock
The digital clock can be reset by pressing one of the two buttons (A and B) with a pointed object such as
the tip of a pen.
h = hours
m = minutes
Maintain the pressure on the buttons for more than four seconds to change the time more quickly.
Ambient temperature sensor
This sensor indicates the temperature slightly above the road surface and represents air temperature
where road icing may occur. An amber warning lamp (C) lights up when the temperature is in the range
of 23 - 36° F (-5 - +2° C). Please note that this lamp does not indicate a fault with your car.
At low speeds or when the car is not moving, the temperature readings may be slightly higher than the
actual ambient temperature due to the heat generated by the engine.
Display alternatives
If buttons A and B are pressed down simultaneously, it is possible to shift between four different display
alternatives, as follows:
Press 1st time: 12 hour clock and °F
Press 2nd time: 24 hour clock and °F
Press 3rd time: 12 hour clock and °C
Press 4th time: 24 hour clock and °C
NOTE: If your battery has been disconnected, the display will default to the 24 hour clock and degrees
centigrade.
