hi all. i have just received today.a new to me,2002 d5 s60 auto. took it out for a blast tonight and its absolutely awesome!
but one thing i couldnt understand is the lighting stalk?
what is the difference with position zero and dipped beam position on the lighting stalk? other than main beam doesnt work on pos zero?

I have volvo s40 and previously a V70 ( I love volvos also).

Its a good question, someone else drove my car the other night and fiddled with the lights. I was very confused as i couldn't get full beam it was only then I realised the switch wasn't where i left it. I usually leave it on dipped ALL the time.

position 0 is dipped beam plus parking lights.
headlight position is headlights plus parking lights.
position 0 seems slightly brighter then headlight position on mine? but main beam wont work unless in headlight position. weird!

o is daylight lights just keep it on headlamps...

says in the manual its dipped beam!

You need to read the manual, by default the lights are on when you start the car, by playing around with the controls you can turn this trickery off and it will behave like a normal car

My V40 was like this, now reconfigured so for full lights I need to turn the switch to full lights, previously on position 0 engine on it you could not switch from dip to main, although could flash the lights.

Make sure you do not leave it with side lights on 100% of the time when keys are out, a possible option !

Volvo's rock !
