TRACS disengaged (option)
If the TRACS (TRAction Control System) is manually disengaged with the switch on the dashboard
page 25), the warning light will come on. This will also come on to indicate a TRACS malfunction, and
when the brakes overheat, although it goes out again at the normal temperature level. If the lamp
remains on, the system should be checked by an authorized Volvo retailer. This lamp should not be
confused with the ON/OFF indicator lamp above the switch.
STC disengaged (option)
The indicator light (
Traction Control system (STC) OFF using the button of the dashboard
come on if there is a fault in the STC system or to indicate that the brakes have overheated. The light
will go out when the brake temperature returns to normal. Consult your Volvo retailer.
The symbol will flash when STC is actively regulating power to the drive wheels. Normal power
may be reduced at this time. This is normal as power is momentarily reduced to help keep the drive
wheels from losing traction and spinning.
Coolant level sensor
If the light comes on while driving, the coolant level is low. The coolant level in the expansion tank
should be checked immediately and topped up if necessary. The cooling system should be inspected by
an authorized Volvo retailer.
Mode "W" engaged
The lamp will light up when the Winter/Wet starting mode is engaged or if gears "3" or "L" are selected.
If the warning lamp begins to flash , this means that there is a fault in the automatic gearbox. Contact
your Volvo retailer.
