NOTE: This warning lights is illuminated if the generator is not charging. However, parking brake, brake failure and bulb
failure warning lights will be illuminated at the same time due to the design of the system.
Malfunction indicator lamp
If the lamp comes on (or stays on after the vehicle has started), the engine diagnostic system has detected a possible fault in
the emission control system. Although driveability may not be affected, see an authorized Volvo retailer as soon as possible
for inspection.
Oil pressure warning light
If the light comes on while driving, the oil pressure is too low. Stop the car and then stop the engine immediately and check
the engine oil level. See the section titled "Engine oil". If the light stays on after restart, have the car towed to the nearest
authorized Volvo retailer. After hard driving, the light may come on occasionally when the engine is idling. This is normal,
provided it goes off when the engine speed is increased.
Parking brake reminder light
This light will be on when the parking brake (hand brake) is applied. The parking brake lever is situated between the front
seats. Canadian models are equipped with this warning light:
Brake fluid warning light
If the light comes on while driving or braking, this indicates that the brake fluid level is too low.
Stop immediately, open the hood and check the brake fluid level in the reservoir (see section "Engine compartment" for
reservoir position)!
Canadian models are equipped with this warning light:
WARNING!
If the level is below the MIN mark in either section of the reservoir: DO NOT DRIVE. Tow the car to a Volvo retailer and
have the brake system checked and any leakage repaired.
