Indicator and warning symbols
All indicator and warning symbols 1 illuminate
when the ignition key is turned to position II
before starting. This is to check that the sym-
bols are working. When the engine starts, all
the symbols should go out except the hand-
brake symbol, which extinguishes when the
handbrake is released.
If the engine does not start within
five seconds, all symbols extin-
guish except the symbols for a
fault in the car’s emissions sys-
tem and for low oil pressure. Cer-
tain symbols may have no func-
tion, depending on the car’s
specifications.
Warning symbols in the centre of the
instrument panel
These symbols are lit with a red
or amber glow depending on the
severity of the fault.
Red symbol:
– Stop the car in a safe place. Do not drive
the car further.
– Read the information on the information
display.
– Rectify the fault as instructed or contact
an authorised Volvo workshop.
Symbol and message text are visible until the
fault has been rectified.
1 For certain engine variants, the symbol for low
oil pressure is not used. Warnings are given
via display text, see page 180.
