For certain engine variants, the symbol
for low oil pressure is not used. Warnings
are given via display text, see page 185
and 186.
Low oil pressure
If this symbol illuminates during driving then
the engine's oil pressure is too low. Stop the
engine immediately and check the engine oil
62
level, top up if necessary. If the symbol illumi-
nates and the oil level is normal, contact an
authorised Volvo workshop.
Parking brake applied
This symbol illuminates with a constant glow
when the parking brake is applied. With the
electric parking brake, this symbol flashes
while it is being applied and then illuminates
1
with a constant glow.
A flashing symbol means that a fault has
arisen. Read the message on the information
display.
NOTE
This symbol also illuminates when the
mechanical parking brake is only lightly
applied.
Airbags – SRS
If this symbol remains illuminated or illumi-
nates while driving, it means a fault has been
detected in the seatbelt buckle, SRS, SIPS,
or IC systems. Drive immediately to an
authorised Volvo workshop to have the sys-
tem checked.
Seatbelt reminder
This symbol illuminates if someone in a front
seat has not put on their seatbelt or if some-
one in a rear seat has taken off their seatbelt.
Alternator not charging
This symbol illuminates during driving if a
fault has occurred in the electrical system.
Contact an authorised Volvo workshop.
Fault in brake system
If this symbol illuminates, the brake fluid level
may be too low. Stop the car in a safe place
and check the level in the brake fluid reser-
voir, see page 188.
If the brake and ABS symbols illuminate at
the same time, there may be a fault in the
brake force distribution system.
1. Stop the car in a safe place and turn off
the engine.
2. Restart the engine.
• If both symbols extinguish, continue driv-
ing.
• If the symbols remain illuminated, check
the level in the brake fluid reservoir. See
page 188. If the brake fluid level is normal
but the symbols are still illuminated, the
car can be driven, with great care, to an
authorised Volvo workshop to have the
brake system checked.
