Warning
ACertain 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. 373).
Low oil pressure
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.
Parking brake applied
This symbol illuminates with a constant glow
when the parking brake is applied. The symbol
flashes during application, and then changes over
to a constant glow.
A flashing symbol in any other situation means
that a fault has arisen. Read the message on the
information display.
For more information, see Parking brake
(p. 303).
Airbags – SRS
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.
Seatbelt reminder
This symbol flashes if someone in a front seat
has not put on their seatbelt or if someone in a
rear seat has taken off their seatbelt.
Alternator not charging
This symbol illuminates during driving if a fault
has occurred in the electrical system. Visit a
workshop. Volvo recommends that you seek
assistance from an authorised Volvo workshop.
