Volvo XC90: Loading, storage and passenger compartment / Using the glove compartment
The glove compartment is located on the passenger side. The glove compartment
can be used to store the Owner's Manual, maps, etc. There is also room for a pen
and a card holder.
The glove compartment is opened by pressing the opening button
in the center console.
Locking and unlocking the glove box
The glove compartment can be locked ("private locking") when the vehicle is left
at a workshop, hotel, etc. When private locking is activated, the tailgate is also
locked.
Using the glove box as a cooled area*
The glove compartment can be used to cool e.g. drinks or food. Cooling is possible
when the climate system is active (i.e. when the ignition is in mode II or
when the engine is running).

The high beam bulbs in the halogen headlights can be changed without the help
of a workshop.
Before the bulbs can be replaced, the plastic covering over the headlight must
be removed.
Before the lamp can be replaced, the rectangular headlight cover must be removed...
A more economical driving style can help lower fuel consumption.
Before driving
If possible, precondition the vehicle before driving.
If preconditioning is not possible when it is cold outside, use seat and
steering wheel heating first. Avoid heating the entire passenger compartment
to reduce the amount of current being taken from the start battery...
