INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
Low oil pressure
Fault in brake system
Combined instrument cluster -
meaning of warning symbols
The warning symbols alert the driver that an
important function is activated, or that a serious
error or a serious failure has occurred.
If this symbol illuminates during driving then the
engine's oil pressure is too low. Stop the engine
immediately and check the engine oil level, top
up if necessary. If the symbol illuminates and the
oil level is normal, contact a workshop. Volvo rec-
ommends that you seek assistance from an
authorised Volvo workshop.
If this symbol illuminates, 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
Brake and clutch fluid - level (p. 352).
If the brake and ABS symbols illuminate at the
same time, there may be a fault in the brake
force distribution system.

If the symbol remains illuminated or illuminates
while driving, a fault has been detected in one of
the car's safety systems. Drive to a workshop for
checking as soon as possible. Volvo recommends
that you seek assistance from an authorised
Volvo workshop.
If the symbols remain illuminated, check
the level in the brake fluid reservoir; see

the brake fluid level is normal but the
symbols are still illuminated, the car can
be driven, with great care, to a workshop
to have the brake system checked. Volvo

Certain engine variants do not have systems to warn of oil pres-
sure loss. In cars with these variants the symbol for low oil pres-
sure is not used. Warning for low oil level is via display text. For
more information, see Engine oil - general (p. 348).
