Service reminder
indicator
This light will come on at 7,500 mile (12,000
km) intervals, after 750 hours of driving or
after 12 months, whichever occurs first. It is a
reminder to the driver that the service interval
has been exceeded. The light will stay on for 2
minutes after start until reset by the servicing
retailer.
Bulb failure warning
light
The light will come on if any of the following
bulbs are defective:
•
one of the low beam headlights
•
one of the tail lights
•
one of the brake lights when the brake
pedal is depressed.
Check the fuse and bulb. See sections
Replacing bulbs and fuses.
Should the warning light come on after a
defective outside bulb has been replaced, the
corresponding bulb on the other side of the car
should also be replaced.
Fault in ETC (Electronic
Throttle Control
system)
If this lamp comes on, there is a fault in the
engine control system and driveability will be
affected. Switch the ignition off and then on
again. If the light remains on, the system
should be inspected by an authorized Volvo
retailer.
Warning lights
STC disengaged
The indicator light (
) in the instrument
panel will be ON when you have switched the
Stability and Traction Control system (STC)
OFF using the button on the dashboard (see
page 23). The light will also come on if there
is a fault in the STC system or to indicate that
the brakes have overheated. The light will go
out when the brake temperature returns to
normal.
The
indicator light will flash when STC is
actively regulating power to the drive wheels.
Normal power may be reduced at this time.
This is normal as power is momentarily
reduced to help keep the drive wheels from
losing traction and spinning.
Anti-lock Brake system
(ABS)
If the warning lamp lights up there is a
malfunction of the ABS system (the standard
braking system will however function). The
vehicle should be driven to a Volvo retailer for
inspection.
See page 74 for additional information.
Canadian models are equipped with this
warning light:
Coolant level sensor
If this light comes on while driving, the
coolant level is low. The coolant level in the
expansion tank should be checked
immediately and topped up if necessary. The
cooling system should be inspected by an
authorized Volvo retailer.
Mode “W” engaged
The lamp will light up when the Winter/Wet
starting mode is engaged or if gears 3 or L
are selected.
If the warning lamp begins to flash, this means
that there is a fault in the automatic gearbox.
Contact Your Volvo retailer.
Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS)
If the light comes on (or stays on after the
vehicle has started), the SRS diagnostic system
has detected a fault. Drive to an authorized
Volvo retailer for an inspection of the system.
See the SRS section for more information.
Generator warning light
If the light comes on while the engine is
running, have the charging system checked.
