Indicator symbols – right-hand side
1. Indicator symbol for trailer
This symbol flashes when the
direction indicators are used and
a trailer is coupled. If the symbol
does not flash, one of the lamps
on the trailer or the car is
defective.
2. Parking brake applied
The symbol illuminates when the
parking brake is applied. Always
pull the parking brake lever to the
end position.
3. Airbags – SRS
If this symbol remains on or illu-
minates while driving, it means a
fault has been detected in the
seatbelt buckle, SRS, SIPS, or IC
system. Drive directly to an
authorised Volvo workshop to have the sys-
tem checked.
4. Low oil pressure 1
If this symbol illuminates while
driving, the engine oil pressure is
too low. Stop the engine immedi-
ately and check the engine oil
level, top up if necessary. If the
symbol illuminates and the oil level is normal,
contact an authorised Volvo workshop.
5. Seatbelt reminder
This symbol illuminates if some-
one in a front seat has not put on
their seatbelt or if someone in a
rear seat has taken off their seat-
belt.
6. Alternator not charging
If this symbol illuminates while
driving, a fault has occurred in
the electrical system. Contact an
authorised Volvo workshop.
7. Fault in brake system
If this symbol lights, the brake
fluid level may be too low.
– Stop the car in a safe place and check the
level in the brake fluid reservoir, see
page 185. If the level in the reservoir is
below MIN, the car should not be driven
any further. Transport the car to an author-
ised Volvo workshop to have the brake
system checked.
