Driving in Europe with my new S90 R-Design
Hi all,
Just a quick question if I may? I will be traveling to Europe in the next month or so, My car does not have active headlights so i was wondering if I have to use those stickers to change the beams? I know most new Volvo's have this option. Cheers peeps |

Thanks for the link. I seem to be more confused after going through the thread.
I might just ring up customer support and find out. I have no idea where to put the blocking pads..... I'm sure i'll need them lol |

HAHAHA i really don't want to use them. problem is I don't have active lights. Me being really stupid thought they were standard when i looked at the car in the showroom, didn't realise it was an added extra. lol. That option was in the car i viewed but obviously showroom model has every conceivable extra.

I drove to Austria in February, using motorways and also roads without a central reservation (I.e. no barrier between me and oncoming traffic that might shield oncoming traffic from my lights). I didn’t encounter any issues with my standard lights. I didn’t notice anyone flashing me - I spent a few hours driving in the dark.

Information is in the owners handbook in the sensus , I believe no action is needed as for the last few years the beams are almost flat across the road so no kink up on the left . Drive it up to a wall in the dark and you will see .

Here is a link to my post showing a MY 2018 XC60 beam pattern. Most definitely a "Kink" up to the left: https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showp...3&postcount=24

My car has adaptive headlamps and displays this same pattern on normal dipped beams but it does a have a setting in Sensus to allow for driving on the right. I've haven't checked what actual difference this makes.
