ABS fault
If this symbol illuminates, the
system is not working. The car’s
regular brake system continues
to work, but without the ABS
function.
– Stop the car in a safe place and turn off
the engine.
– Restart the engine.
• If the warning symbol goes out, continue
driving. It was an indicator error.
• If the warning symbol remains illuminated,
drive to an authorised Volvo workshop to
have the ABS system checked.
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 brake fluid reservoir
level.
If the reservoir level is below MIN, the car
should not be driven further. Have it towed to
an authorised Volvo workshop to have the
brake system checked.
If the warning symbols for
BRAKE and ABS illuminate at the
same time, there may be a fault in
the brake force distribution sys-
tem.
– Stop the car in a safe place and
switch off the engine. Restart the
engine.
• If both symbols go out, it was an indicator
error.
• If the warning symbols remain lit, check
the brake fluid reservoir level.
• If the reservoir level is below MIN, the car
should not be driven further. Have it towed
to an authorised Volvo workshop to have
the brake system checked.
• If the brake fluid level is normal and the
lamps remain illuminated, drive the car
carefully to the nearest authorised Volvo
workshop to have the brake system
checked.
Seatbelt reminder

If the lamp illuminates while driv-
ing, engine oil pressure is too

and check the oil level. If the
lamp illuminates but the oil level
is normal, stop the car and contact an au-
thorised Volvo workshop.
Fault in car’s emissions system
Drive to an authorised Volvo
workshop to have the system
checked.

that the rear end will have a tendency to
slide during heavy braking.

oil pressure is not used. Warnings are given
