before starting. This is to check that the
symbols are working. When the engine
starts, all the symbols should go out except
the handbrake symbol, which extinguishes
when the handbrake is released.

If the engine does not start
within five seconds, all symbols
extinguish except the symbols
for a fault in the car’s emissions
system and for low oil
pressure. Certain symbols may

have no function, 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.

– Stop 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.

– Read the message in the display.

Remedy!

The message text is cleared using the READ
button, see page 42, or disappears automat-
ically after 2 minutes.
When the message text "TIME FOR
REGULAR SERVICE" is shown, the symbol
lamp and message text are cleared using the

ABS fault

If the ABS symbol lights, the ABS
system is not functioning. The car’s
normal braking system continues to
work, but without the ABS function.

– Stop the car in a safe place and switch off

the engine. Restart the engine.

• If the warning symbol goes out, continue

driving. It was an indicator error.

• If the warning symbol remains lit, drive to

an authorised Volvo workshop to have the
ABS system checked.

Fault in brake system

If the BRAKE symbol lights, the
brake fluid level may be too low.
Stop the car in a safe place and

check the brake fluid reservoir level.

For certain engine variants, the

symbol for low oil pressure is not

used. Warnings are given via display

text, see page 175.
