Instruments and controls
Indicator and warning symbols
towed to an authorised Volvo workshop
to have the brake system checked.
If the BRAKE and ABS warning
symbols light at the same time, there
may be a problem in the brake force
distribution.
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 lit, carefully drive the car to
the nearest authorised Volvo workshop to
have the brake system checked.
