Stability system  
Tyre pressure system , see Tyre  
monitoring (TM)* (p. 332)  
Stability system, see Electronic sta-  
bility control (ESC) - general  
(p. 184)  
A flashing symbol indicates that the stability sys-  
tem is operating. If the symbol illuminates with  
constant glow then there is a fault in the system.  
ABL fault  
Stability system, sport mode  
The symbol illuminates if a fault has arisen in the  
ABL function (Active Bending Lights).  
Stability system, sport mode, see  
Electronic stability control (ESC) -  
operation (p. 186)  
The symbol illuminates when the sport mode is  
activated. Sport mode allows for a more active  
driving experience. The system then detects  
whether the accelerator pedal, steering wheel  
movements and cornering are more active than in  
normal driving and then allows controlled skid-  
ding of the rear section up to a certain level  
before it intervenes and stabilises the car.  
Emissions system  
If the symbol illuminates after the engine has  
been started then it may be due to a fault in the  
car's emissions system. Drive to a workshop for  
checking. Volvo recommends that you seek  
assistance from an authorised Volvo workshop.
