Indicator symbols
ABS fault
If this symbol illuminates, the
system is not working. The car's
regular brake system continues
to work, but without the ABS
function.
– Stop the car in a safe place and turn off
the engine.
– Restart the engine.
– Drive to an authorised Volvo workshop to
have the ABS checked if the symbol re-
mains lit.
Fault in brake system
If this symbol lights, the brake
fluid level may be too low.
– Stop the car in a safe place and check the
level in the brake fluid reservoir, see
page 190. If the level in the reservoir is
below MIN, the car should not be driven
any further. Have the car transported to an
authorised Volvo workshop to have the
brake system checked.
If the BRAKE and ABS symbols
illuminate at the same time, there
may be a fault in the brake force
distribution system.
– Stop the car in a safe place and turn off
the engine.
– Restart the engine.
• If both symbols extinguish, continue
driving.
• If the symbols remain on, check the level
in the brake fluid reservoir. See page 190.
• If the brake fluid level is normal but the
symbols are still lit, the car can be driven,
with great care, to an authorised Volvo
workshop to have the brake system
checked.
• If the level in the reservoir is below MIN,
the car should not be driven any further.
Have the car transported to an authorised
Volvo workshop to have the brake system
checked.
WARNING
If the BRAKE and ABS symbols are illumi-
nated at the same time, there is a risk that
the rear end will skid during heavy braking.

workshop.
Fault in car's emissions system
Drive to an authorised Volvo
workshop to have the system
checked.
