the instrument panel  
This symbol is lit with a red or amber  
glow depending on the severity of  
the fault.  
Red symbol  
– Stop the car. Read the message in the  
display.  
Symbol and message text are visible until the  
fault has been rectified.  
Yellow symbol

lamp and message text are cleared using the  
READ button, or disappear automatically  
after 2 minutes.  
Indicator and warning symbols  
All indicator and warning symbols light up  
when the ignition key is turned to position II  
before starting. This is to check that the  
symbols/lights are working. When the engine  
starts, all the symbols should go out except  
the handbrake symbol, which extinguishes  
when the handbrake is released.  
If the engine does not start  
within five seconds, all symbols  
extinguish except the symbols  
for a fault in the car’s emissions  
system and for low oil  
pressure. Certain symbols may  
have no function, depending on the car’s  
specifications.

ABS fault  
If the ABS symbol lights, the ABS  
system is not functioning. The car’s  
normal braking system continues to  
work, but without the ABS function.  
•
•
•
If both symbols go out, it was an indicator  
error.  
If the warning symbols remain lit, check  
the brake fluid reservoir level.  
If the reservoir level is below MIN, 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.

authorised Volvo workshop.  
Fault in car’s emissions system  
Contact an authorised Volvo  
workshop to have the system  
checked.  
– Stop the car in a safe place and switch off  
the engine. Restart the engine.  
Fault in SRS  
•
If the warning symbol goes out, continue  
driving. It was an indicator error.  
•
If the symbol remains lit or lights  
while driving, a fault has been  
detected in the SRS system. Drive  
to an authorised Volvo workshop to have the  
system checked.  
•
If the warning symbol remains lit, drive to  
an authorised Volvo workshop to have the  
ABS system checked.  
Fault in brake system  
WARNING!  
Alternator not charging  
If the BRAKE symbol lights, the  
brake fluid level may be too low.  
If the BRAKE and ABS warning symbols  
light at the same time, there is a risk that  
the rear end will have a tendency to slide  
during heavy braking.  
If this lamp lights while driving, there  
is probably a fault in the electrical  
system. Contact an authorised  
Volvo workshop.  
– Stop the car in a safe place and  
check the brake fluid reservoir level.  
If the reservoir level is below MIN, the car  
should not be driven further. Have it towed to  
an authorised Volvo workshop to have the  
brake system checked.

the information display together  
with the symbol.  
– Stop the car in a safe place and switch off  
the engine. Restart the engine.  
Trailer indicator lamp  
Flashes when the direction  
indicators of the car and trailer are  
used. If the lamp does not flash, one  
of the direction indicators on the trailer or car  
is defective.  
•
If the warning symbol goes out, the fault  
was temporary and it is not necessary to  
visit a workshop.  
The TC function has been temporarily  
suppressed because the brake temperature  
is too high.  
•
If the warning symbol remains lit, drive to  
an authorised Volvo workshop to have the  
system checked.  
Automatic reactivation of the function takes  
place when the brake temperature has  
returned to normal.  
Stability system and DSTC  
The DSTC system contains several different  
functions that are described in more detail on  
page 114.  
WARNING!  
The warning symbol shines with a  
steady amber glow  
Under normal driving conditions, the  
DSTC system improves the car’s road  
safety, but this should not be taken as a  
reason to increase speed. Always follow  
the usual precautions for safe cornering  
and driving on slippery surfaces.  
ANTI-SKID SERVICE REQUIRED is  
shown on the information display  
together with the symbol.  
The symbol lights and goes out again  
after approx. two seconds  
The symbol is lit for a system check  
when the car is started.  
The DSTC system has been switched off  
because of a fault.  
The symbol flashes  
The SC function acts to prevent the  
car’s drive wheels from spinning.  
The TC function acts to improve the  
car’s traction.  
– Stop the car in a safe place and turn off  
the engine.  
– Restart the engine.  
If the warning symbol remains lit, drive to an  
authorised Volvo workshop to have the  
system checked.  
The AYC function acts to prevent skidding.  
The RSC function acts to prevent  
overturning.  
Fault in DSTC system  
If the warning symbol lights and shines with a  
constant glow even though you did not  
switch off the system, it indicates a fault in

Important!  
In an automatic car wash:  
Turn off the rain sensor by pressing the

wipers may start and be damaged.  
– Turn the ring upward to increase sensi-

Windscreen wipers  
Windscreen wipers off.  
High-pressure wash of the headlamps  
consumes a great deal of washer fluid. To  
save fluid, the headlamps are only washed  
every fifth time (within a ten minute period). If  
ten minutes have elapsed since the last  
windscreen washing, the headlamps receive  
a high-pressure wash the next time the  
windscreen is washed.  
If the lever is in the 0 position and  
you move it upwards, the wipers will  
sweep one stroke at a time for as long as you  
hold the lever up.

– press the button (2). A LED illuminates in  
the button to indicate the rain sensor is  
active.  
Intermittent wiping

You can adjust and set a suitable  
speed for intermittent wiping.
