level, top up if necessary. If the symbol illumi-
nates and the oil level is normal, contact a
workshop. Volvo recommends that you seek
assistance from an authorised Volvo work-
shop.

Fault in brake systemIf this symbol illuminates, 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 311.
If the brake and ABS symbols illuminate at the
same time, there may be a fault in the brake
force distribution system.

engine.
2. Restart the engine.
•If both symbols extinguish, continue
driving.
•If the symbols remain illuminated, check
the level in the brake fluid reservoir, see

mal but the symbols are still illuminated,
the car can be driven, with great care, to
a workshop to have the brake system
checked. Volvo recommends that you
seek assistance from an authorised
Volvo workshop.
WARNING
If the brake fluid is under the MIN level in the
brake fluid reservoir, do not drive further
before topping up the brake fluid.
