Fuel Gauge
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2009 Volvo S60, 2008 Volvo S60, 2007 Volvo S60, 2006 Volvo S60, and 2005 Volvo S60. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
There are two sensors in the fuel tank which transmit signals about the fuel level to the rear electronic module(REM). The rear electronic module (4/58) sends the values on to the driver information module (5/1), which receives the signals, interprets them and displays the fuel level on the fuel gauge. When the fuel level is low a yellow lamp lights to inform the driver.
The fuel gauge is not sensitive to rapid change. This is to prevent incorrect values being displayed when cornering or driving on slopes for example.
