Fault in the Active Bending Light

(ABL) system

This symbol will illuminate if the there is a fault
in the ABL system.

Malfunction Indicator Light

As you drive, a computer called On-Board
Diagnostics II (OBDII) monitors your vehicle's
engine, transmission, electrical and emission
systems.

The malfunction indicator (CHECK ENGINE)
light will illuminate if the computer senses a
condition that potentially may need correcting.
When this happens, please have your vehicle
checked by a trained and qualified Volvo serv-
ice technician as soon as possible.

A malfunction indicator (CHECK ENGINE) light
may have many causes. Sometimes, you may
not notice a change in your car's behavior.
Even so, an uncorrected condition could hurt
fuel economy, emission controls, and drivabil-
ity. Extended driving without correcting the

cause could even damage other components
in your vehicle.

This light may illuminate if the fuel filler cap is
not closed tightly or if the engine was running
while the vehicle was refueled.

Canadian models are equipped with this

symbol.

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)

warning light

If the warning light comes on, there may be a
malfunction in the ABS system (the standard
braking system will still function). Check the
system by:

Stopping in a safe place and switching off
the ignition.

Restart the engine.

If the warning light goes off, no further
action is required.

If the warning light remains on, the vehicle
should be driven to a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician for inspection, see
page 110 for additional information.

Canadian models are equipped with this

symbol.

Rear fog light

This symbol indicates that the rear fog light
(located in the driver's side tail light cluster) is
on.

Stability system

This indicator symbol flashes when the DSTC
(Dynamic Stability and Traction Control sys-
tem) is actively working to stabilize the vehicle,
see page 154 for more detailed information.

Tire pressure monitoring system

(TPMS)*

This symbol illuminates to indicate that tire
pressure in one or more tires is low, see
page 260 for detailed information.

Low fuel level

When this light comes on, the vehicle should
be refueled as soon as possible.

Information symbol

The information symbol illuminates and a text
message is displayed if a fault is detected in
one of the vehicle's systems. The message can
be erased and the symbol can be turned off by
pressing the READ button (see page 122 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.

Low oil pressure

If the light comes on while driving, stop the
vehicle, stop the engine immediately, and
check the engine oil level. If the oil level is nor-
mal and the light stays on after restart, have the
vehicle towed to the nearest trained and quali-
fied Volvo service technician. This is normal,
provided it goes off when the engine speed is
increased.

Parking brake applied

This symbol illuminates when the parking
brake is applied. On models equipped with the
electric parking brake, this symbol flashes
while the brake is being applied and then glows
steadily.

A flashing symbol means that a fault has been
detected. See the message in the information
display.

Canadian models are equipped with this

symbol.

NOTE

This symbol also comes on when the
mechanical parking brake is only slightly
applied.

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.

Seat belt reminder

This symbol comes on for approximately 6 sec-
onds if the driver has not fastened his or her
seat belt.

Generator not charging

This symbol comes on during driving if a fault
has occurred in the electrical system. Contact
an authorized Volvo workshop.

Engine temperature

heat and altitude, or mechanical malfunction.
Engine overheating will be signaled with text
and a red warning triangle in the middle of the
instrument display. The exact text will depend
on the degree of overheating. It may range
from "

HIGH ENGINE TEMP – SLOW

DOWN

" to "

HIGH ENGINE TEMP – STOP

." If appropriate, other messages,

such as "

COOLANT LEVEL LOW

" will also be

displayed. If your engine does overheat so that
you must stop the engine, always allow the
engine to cool before attempting to check oil
and coolant levels.

Fault in brake system

If this symbol lights, the brake fluid level may
be too low. Stop the vehicle in a safe place and
check the level in the brake fluid reservoir, see
page 220. If the level in the reservoir is below
MIN, the vehicle should be transported to an
authorized Volvo workshop to have the brake
system checked.

Canadian models are equipped with this

symbol.

If the

and

symbols come on at the

same time, there may be a fault in the brake
force distribution system.

Stop the vehicle in a safe place and turn off
the engine.

Restart the engine.

•

If both symbols extinguish, continue driv-
ing.

•

If the symbols remain on, check the level in
the brake fluid reservoir, see page 220. If
the brake fluid level is normal but the sym-
bols are still lit, the vehicle can be driven,
with great care, to an authorized Volvo
workshop to have the brake system
checked.

•

If the level in the reservoir is below MIN, the
vehicle should be transported to an author-
ized Volvo workshop to have the brake
system checked.

WARNING

•

If the fluid level is below the MIN mark
in the reservoir or if a warning message
is displayed in the text window:

NOT DRIVE

. Have the vehicle towed to

a trained and qualified Volvo service
technician and have the brake system
inspected.

•

If the ABS and Brake system lights are
on at the same time, there is a risk of
reduced vehicle stability.

Warning symbol

The red warning symbol comes on when a fault
has been indicated which could affect the
safety and/or drivability of the vehicle. An

explanatory text is shown on the information
display at the same time. The symbol remains
visible until the fault has been rectified but the
text message can be cleared with the READ
button, see page 122. The warning symbol can
also come on in conjunction with other sym-
bols.

Action:

Stop in a safe place. Do not drive the vehi-
cle further.

Read the information on the information
display. Implement the action in accord-
ance with the message in the display. Clear
the message using READ.

Reminder – doors not closed

If one of the doors, the hood or tailgate is not
closed properly, the information or warning
symbol comes on together with an explanatory
text message in the instrument panel. Stop the
vehicle in a safe place as soon as possible and
close the door, hood or tailgate.

If the vehicle is driven at a speed
lower than approximately 5 mph
