systems. Drive immediately to an authorised
Volvo workshop to have the system checked.

If this symbol illuminates during
driving then the engine’s oil pres-
sure is too low. Stop the engine
immediately and check the en-
gine oil level, top up if necessary. If the sym-
bol lights up and the oil level is normal, con-
tact an authorised Volvo workshop.
5. Seatbelt reminder
This symbol lights if someone in
a front seat has not put on their
seatbelt or if someone in a rear
seat has taken off their seatbelt.
6. Alternator not charging
If this symbol illuminates while
driving, a fault has occurred in
the electrical system. Contact an
authorised Volvo workshop.
7. Fa ult in b rake sys tem
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 177. If the level in the reservoir is
below MIN, the car should not be driven
any further. Have the car transported 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.
– Stop the car 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 177.
– If the brake fluid level is normal but the
symbols are still lit, the car can be driven,
with great care, to an authorised Volvo
workshop to have the brake system
checked.
– If the level in the reservoir is below MIN,
the car should not be driven any further.
Have the car transported to an authorised
Volvo workshop to have the brake system
checked.

The lamp illuminates irrespective of how
hard the parking brake is applied.

nated at the same time, there is a risk that
the rear end will skid during heavy braking.
