Indicator and warning symbols
3. Airbags – SRS
If this symbol remains on or
comes on while driving, it means
a fault has been detected in the
seatbelt buckle, SRS, SIPS,
ROPS or DMIC system. Drive directly to an
authorised Volvo workshop to have the
system checked.
4. Low oil pressure
If this symbol lights up while
driving, the engine oil pressure is
too low. Stop the engine immedi-
ately and check the engine oil
level, top up if necessary. If the symbol lights
up and the oil level is normal, contact an
authorised Volvo workshop.
5. Seatbelt reminder
This symbol lights if someone in a
front seat has not put on their
seatbelt or if someone in a rear
seat has taken off their seatbelt.
6. Alternator not charging
If this symbol lights while driving,
a fault has occurred in the
electrical system. Contact an
authorised Volvo workshop.
7. 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 162. 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
come on 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 162.
• 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.
