1. Indicator symbol for trailer
This symbol flashes when the direction
indicators are used and a
trailer is coupled. If the symbol
does not flash, one of the lamps
on the trailer or the car is defective.
NOTE
The lamp illuminates irrespective of how
hard the parking brake is applied.
3. Airbags – SRS
If this symbol remains on or illuminates
while driving, it means a
fault has been detected in the
seatbelt buckle, SRS, SIPS, or IC
system. Drive directly to an authorised Volvo
workshop to have the system checked.
4. Low oil pressure 1
If this symbol lights up while driving,
the engine oil pressure is too
low. Stop the engine immediately
and check the engine oil level,
top up if necessary. If the symbol lights up
and the oil level is normal, contact an authorised
Volvo workshop.
6. Alternator not charging
If this symbol lights while driving,
a fault has occurred in the electrical
system. Contact an authorised
Volvo workshop.
7. Fault in brake system
If this symbol lights, the brake
fluid level may be too low.
– Stop the car in a safe place and check the
level in the brake fluid reservoir, see
page 187. If the level in the reservoir is
below MIN, the car should not be driven
any further. Transport the car to an authorised
Volvo workshop to have the brake
system checked.
If the BRAKE and ABS symbols
illuminate at the same time, there
may be a fault in the brake force
distribution system.
1 For certain engine variants, the symbol for low
oil pressure is not used. Warnings are given
via display text, see page 184.
