NOTE: This warning light is illuminated if the generator is not charging. However, parking brake, brake failure and bulb failure
warning lights will be illuminated at the same time due to the design of the system.
Malfunction indicator lamp
If this lamp comes on (or stays on after the vehicle has started), the engine diagnostic system has detected a possible fault in the
emission controls. Although driveability may not be affected, see an authorized Volvo dealer as soon as possible for inspection.
Oil pressure warning light
If the light comes on while driving, the oil pressure is too low. Stop the car and then stop the engine immediately and check the engine
oil level. See the section titled "Engine oil". If the light stays on after restart, have the car towed to the nearest authorized Volvo dealer.
After hard driving, the light may come on occasionally when the engine is idling. This is normal, provided it goes off when the engine
speed is increased.
Parking brake reminder light
This light will be on when the parking brake (hand brake) is applied. The parking brake lever is situated between the front seats.
Canadian models are equipped with this warning light:
Brake fluid warning light
If the light comes on while driving or braking, this indicates that the brake fluid level is too low.
Stop immediately, open the hood and check the brake fluid level in the reservoir (see section "Engine compartment" for reservoir
position)!
Canadian models are equipped with this warning light:
Warning!
If the fluid level is below the MIN mark in either section of the reservoir: DO NOT DRIVE. Tow the car to a Volvo dealer and have
the brake system checked and any leakage repaired.
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 dealer for inspection.
See page 4:15 for additional information.
