Indicator And Warning Symbols; Instrument Panel - Volvo V50 Owner's Manual

Indicator and warning symbols

Indicator and warning symbols
All indicator and warning symbols light up
when the ignition key is turned to position II
before starting. This is to check that the
symbols/lights are working. When the engine
starts, all the symbols should go out except
the handbrake symbol, which extinguishes
when the handbrake is released.
If the engine does not start
within five seconds, all
symbols extinguish except the
symbols for a fault in the car's
emissions system and for low
oil pressure. Certain symbols
may have no function, depending on the car's
specifications.
Symbols in the centre of the

instrument panel

The red warning symbol lights
up when a fault has been
indicated which could affect the
safety and/or driveability of the
car. At the same time an explanatory text is
shown in the information display. Symbol and
message text are visible until the fault has
been rectified.
The warning symbol can also light up in
conjunction with other symbols.
– Stop in a safe place. Do not drive the car
further.
Instruments and controls
– Read the information on the information
display.
– Rectify the fault as instructed or contact
an authorised Volvo workshop.
When one of the car's systems
does not behave as intended,
the yellow information symbol
lights up and a text appears on
the display. The message text is
cleared using the READ button, see page 43,
or disappears automatically after 2 minutes.
The yellow information symbol can also come
on in conjunction with other symbols.
NOTE! When the message text "TIME
FOR REGULAR SERVICE" is shown, the
symbol lamp and message text are cleared
using the READ button, or disappear
automatically after 2 minutes.
