Indicator and warning symbols

Functionality check, symbols
All indicator and warning symbols 1 illuminate
when the ignition key is turned to position II
before starting. This is to check that the sym-
bols are working. When the engine starts, all
the symbols should go out except the hand-
brake symbol, which extinguishes when the
handbrake is released.
If the engine does not start
within five seconds, all sym-
bols extinguish except the sym-
bols for a fault in the car’s emis-
sions system and for low oil
pressure. Certain symbols may
have no function, depending on
the car’s specifications.
Symbols in the centre of the
instrument panel
The red warning symbol illumi-
nates when a fault has been in-
dicated which could affect the
safety and/or driveability of the
car. An explanatory text is
shown in the information display at the same
time. The symbol and message text are visi-
ble until the fault has been rectified.
The warning symbol can also illuminate in
conjunction with other symbols.
– Stop in a safe place. Do not drive the car
further.
– Read the information on the information
display.
– Rectify the fault as instructed or contact
an authorised Volvo workshop.
When one of the car’s systems
does not behave as intended,
the yellow information symbol
illuminates and a text appears
in the information display. The
message text is cleared using the READ but-
ton, see page 46, or disappears automatical-
ly after two minutes.
The yellow information symbol can also illu-
minate in conjunction with other symbols.
1 For certain engine variants, the symbol for low
oil pressure is not used. Warnings are given
via display text, see page 180.
NOTE
When the message text TIME FOR
REGULAR SERVICE is shown, the symbol
lamp and message text are cleared using
the
READ button, or disappear automati-
cally after two minutes.
