WARNING!
If both the BRAKE and ABS warning
symbols are lit up there is a risk that the rear
end will have a tendency to slide during
heavy braking.
If BRAKE and ABS
warning symbols light up at
the same time, there may be a
problem in the brake force distribution.
· Stop the car in a safe place and switch off
the engine.
· Start the car again.
· If both warning symbols go out the fault
was temporary and it is not necessary to
visit a workshop.
· If the warning symbol remains lit, first
check the level in the brake fluid reservoir.
· If the level in the reservoir is below the
MIN mark, the car should not be driven
further. Have it towed to an authorised
Volvo workshop to have the brake system
checked.
· If the brake fluid level is normal and the
lamps remain lit, carefully drive the car to
the nearest authorised Volvo workshop to
have the brake system checked.
Warning - fault in brake system
If the BRAKE symbol lights up the
brake fluid level may be too low.
· Stop the car in a safe place and check the
brake fluid reservoir level.
· If the level in the reservoir is below the
MIN mark, the car should not be driven
further. Have it towed to an authorised
Volvo workshop to have the brake system
checked.
Warning - fault in brake system
If the ABS warning symbol lights up,
the ABS system is not functioning. The
car’s normal braking system continues to
function normally but without the ABS function.
· Stop the car in a safe place and switch off
the engine.
· Start the engine again.
· If the warning symbol goes out, the fault
was temporary and it is not necessary to
visit a workshop.
· If the warning symbol remains lit, drive to
an authorised Volvo workshop to have the
ABS system checked.

just a temporary indication fault and you do
not need to visit a workshop.
· If the warning symbol remains lit, drive to
an authorised Volvo workshop to have the
system checked.

WARNING!
Under normal driving conditions, the STC/
DSTC system improves the car’s road safety,
but this should not be taken as a reason to

The SC function acts to prevent the car’s drive
wheels from spinning. The TC function acts to
improve the car’s traction.
The AYC function acts to prevent skidding.
The warning symbol shines with a
steady amber glow
TRACTION CONTROL TEMPORARILY
OFF is shown on the information display

have elapsed since the last windscreen washing,
the headlamps receive a high-pressure wash the
next time the windscreen is washed.
Reduced washing
If only approx. 1 litre of washer fluid remains
in the reservoir, the supply to the headlamps
