pg. 1:5 Warning lights (cont.)
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
If the warning lamp lights up there is a malfunction of the ABS system (the standard braking system will however function). The
vehicle should be driven to a Volvo retailer for inspection.
See page 4:16 for additional information.
Canadian models are equipped with this warning light:
Mode "W" engaged
The lamp will light up when the Winter starting mode is engaged or if gears "3" or "L" are selected. If the warning lamp begins to
flash, this means that there is a fault in the automatic gearbox. Contact your Volvo retailer.
Coolant level sensor
If the light comes on while driving, the coolant level is low. The coolant level in the expansion tank should be checked
immediately and topped off if necessary. The cooling system should be inspected by an authorized Volvo retailer.
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
If the light comes on (or stays on after the vehicle has started), the SRS diagnostic system has detected a fault. Drive to an
authorized Volvo retailer for an inspection of the system. See the SRS section for more information.
Service reminder indicator
This light will come on at 10,000 mile (16,000 km) intervals*, after 750 hours of driving or after 12 months, whichever occurs
first. It is a reminder to the driver that the service interval has been exceeded. The light will stay on 2 minutes after the start until
reset by the servicing retailer.
* Turbo models intervals: 5,000 miles (8,000 km), 375 hours of driving or after 6 months, whichever occurs first.
Bulb failure warning light
The light will come on if any of the following bulbs are defective:
● one of the low beam headlights
● one of the tail lights
● one of the brake lights when the brake pedal is depressed.
Check the fuse and bulb. See sections titled "Replacing bulbs" and "fuses".
Should the warning light come on after a defective outside bulb has been replaced, the corresponding bulb on the other side of the
car should also be replaced.
