Volvo S80 Owner's Manual page 76

equipped with the electric parking brake, this
symbol flashes while the brake is being
applied and then glows steadily.
A flashing symbol means that a fault has
been detected. See the message in the infor-
mation display.
Canadian models are equipped with this
symbol:
NOTE
This symbol also comes on when the me-
chanical parking brake is only slightly ap-
plied.
Airbags – SRS
If this light comes on while the vehicle
is being driven, or remains on for longer than
approximately 10 seconds after the vehicle
has been started, the SRS system's diagnos-
tic functions have detected a fault in a seat
belt lock or tensioner, a front airbag, side
impact airbag, and/or an inflatable curtain.
Have the system(s) inspected by a trained
and qualified Volvo service technician as
soon as possible.
Seat belt reminder
This symbol comes on for approxi-
mately 6 seconds if the driver has not fas-
tened his or her seat belt.
Generator not charging
This symbol comes on during driving if
a fault has occurred in the electrical system.
Contact an authorized Volvo workshop.
Fault in brake system
BRAKE
If this symbol lights, the brake fluid
level may be too low. Stop the vehicle in a
safe place and check the level in the brake
fluid reservoir, see page 189. If the level in
the reservoir is below MIN, the vehicle
should be transported to an authorized Volvo
workshop to have the brake system
checked.
If the brake and ABS symbols come on at the
same time, there may be a fault in the brake
force distribution system.
1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place and turn
off the engine.
2. 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 189.
If the brake fluid level is normal but the
symbols are still lit, the vehicle can be
driven, with great care, to an authorized
Volvo workshop to have the brake system
checked.

Instruments and controls
• If the level in the reservoir is below MIN,
the vehicle should be transported to an
authorized Volvo workshop to have the
brake system checked.
WARNING
• If the fluid level is below the MIN mark in
the reservoir or if a warning message is dis-
played in the text window: DO NOT DRIVE.
Have the vehicle towed to an authorized
Volvo retailer and have the brake system in-
spected.
• If the ABS and Brake system lights are on
at the same time, there is a risk of reduced
vehicle stability.
Warning symbol
The red warning symbol comes on
when a fault has been indicated which could
affect the safety and/or drivability of the vehi-
cle. An explanatory text is shown on the
information display at the same time. The
symbol remains visible until the fault has
been rectified but the text message can be
cleared with the READ button, see page 118.
The warning symbol can also come on in
conjunction with other symbols.
Action:
1. Stop in a safe place. Do not drive the
vehicle further.
