pg. 19 Warning lights
STC disengaged (option)
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 symbol 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 69 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.
