2023 Volvo V60 Windows, glass, and mirrors

Windows, glass, and mirrors

The car contains several different windows, glass panes, and mirrors. Some of the windows in the car are laminated.
The windscreen has laminated glass, and laminated glass is available as an option for certain other glass areas. Laminated glass is reinforced, which provides better protection against break-ins and improved sound insulation in the passenger compartment.
The panoramic roof* also has laminated glass.

The symbol is shown on the windows where the glass is laminated.

Pinch protection for windows and sun blinds

All power windows and sun blinds (Option/accessory) have pinch protection which is deployed if they are blocked by any object while opening or closing.
In the event of blocking, the movement stops and then reverses automatically to approx. 50 mm (approx. 2 inches) from the blocked position (or to the full ventilation position).
It is possible to force pinch protection when closing has been cancelled, e.g. when ice is formed, by continuing to press the control in one and the same direction.
If any fault arises with the pinch protection, a reset sequence can be tested.

Warning
If the starter battery is disconnected, the automatic opening and closing function must be reset to work properly. A reset must take place for pinch protection to work.

Reset sequence for pinch protection

If a problem occurs with the electrical functions of the electric windows, a reset sequence can be tested.
Warning
If the starter battery is disconnected, the automatic opening and closing function must be reset to work properly. A reset must take place for pinch protection to work.
In the event of problems with the panoramic roof, contact a workshop(An authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.).

Reset the power window

Start with the window in a closed position
Then operate the controls in the manual position 3 times upwards to a closed position.
The system is initialized automatically.
If problems persist, contact a workshop.

Activating and deactivating max defroster

Max defroster is used to quickly remove mist and ice from windows.
Max defroster deactivates auto-regulation of the climate and air recirculation, activates air conditioning and changes the fan level to 5 and the temperature to HI.
Note
Changing the fan level to 5 increases the noise level.
When the max defroster is deactivated, the climate control system returns to the previous settings.
Activating and deactivating max defroster from the centre console
There is a physical button in the centre console for quick access to the max defroster.
For cars with a heated windscreen, the first press of the button activates the heating, and the next press activates the max defroster. A third press deactivates both.
Physical button in the centre console
Cars without heated windscreen:
Press the button.
Max defroster is activated/deactivated and the button lights up/goes off. The temperatures in the various climate zones are not synchronised while the max defroster is activated.
Cars with heated windscreen:
Press the button repeatedly in order to switch between the three levels:
  • Activated heated windscreen
  • Activated heated windscreen and max defroster
  • Deactivated.

The heated windscreen and max defroster are activated/deactivated and the button illuminates/extinguishes.

Note

Max defroster starts with a certain delay in order to avoid a short increase in fan level if the heated windscreen is deactivated by two quick presses of the button.

Activating and deactivating max defroster from the centre display

  1. Open the climate view in the centre display by tapping on the temperature button at the bottom centre of the centre display.
  2. Tap on the max defroster button.
