Information symbol

The information symbol lights up and a text
message is displayed to provide the driver with
necessary information about one of the vehi-
cle's systems. The message can be erased and
the symbol can be turned off by pressing the
OK button (see page 187 for information) or
this will take place automatically after a short
time (the length of time varies, depending on
the function affected).

The information symbol may also illuminate
together with other symbols.

High beam indicator

This symbol illuminates when the high beam
headlights are on, or if the high beam flash
function is used.

Left turn signal indicator

Right turn signal indicator

NOTE

Both turn signal indicators will flash
when the hazard warning flashers are
used.

If either of these indicators flash faster
than normal, the direction indicators are
not functioning properly.

Sport mode

This symbol illuminates to indicate that the sta-
bility system's Sport mode has been activated
to help provide maximum tractive force, for
example when driving with snow chains, or
driving in deep snow or loose sand.

Seat belt reminder

Generator not charging

Fault in the brake system

Warning symbol

Low oil pressure

If the light comes on while driving, stop the
vehicle, stop the engine immediately, and
check the engine oil level. Add oil if necessary.

If the oil level is normal and the light stays on
after restart, have the vehicle towed to the
nearest trained and qualified Volvo service
technician.

Parking brake applied

This symbol illuminates when the parking
brake is applied. This symbol flashes while the
brake is being applied and then glows steadily
when the parking brake has been set.

If the symbol continues to flash after the brake
has been set, this indicates that a fault has
been detected. See the message in the infor-
mation display.

Canadian models are equipped with this

symbol.

See page 124 for more information about
using the parking brake.

Airbags – SRS

If this light comes on while the vehicle is being
driven, or remains on for longer than approxi-
mately 10 seconds after the vehicle has been
started, the SRS system's diagnostic functions
have detected a fault in a seat belt lock or pre-
tensioner, a front airbag, side impact airbag,
and/or an inflatable curtain. Have the system(s)
inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo
service technician as soon as possible.

See page 21 for more information about the
airbag system.
