Reads thousands of engine rpm. Do not drive for long with the needle in the red section. The engine has an inbuilt
function preventing too high a rotation speed. When this function operates, you may discern some pulsation, which in
that case is quite normal.

pg. 18 Warning lights
The warning lights described on pages 18 and 19 should never stay on when driving
When the ignition key is turned on and before the engine starts, all of the warning lights should go on to test the
function of the bulbs. Should a light not go off after the engine has started, the system indicated should be inspected.
However, the parking brake reminder light will not go off until the parking brake has been fully released.
Generator warning light
If the light comes on while the engine is running, have the charging system checked.
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.
NOTE : If the fuel filler cap is not closed tightly or if the engine is running when the car is refueled, the Malfunction
Indicator Lamp may indicate a fault. However, your vehicle's performance will not be affected. Use only Volvo
original or approved fuel filler caps.
Oil pressure warning light
If the light comes on while driving, stop the car and then stop the engine immediately and check the engine oil
level . See page 112
. 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.
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.
Cruise Control
This light will be on when cruise control is engaged. Cruise control will automatically disengage when the ignition is
switched off.

Brake failure warning light
If the light comes on while driving or braking, stop immediately, open the hood and check the brake fluid level
in the reservoir. See page 117
for reservoir position.
Canadian models are equipped with this warning light:
WARNING!
If the fluid 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.
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:
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.
Mode "W" engaged
ProCarManuals.com
Page 20 of 88
The lamp will light up when the Winter/Wet starting mode is engaged or if gears "4,3" 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.
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.

Doors and locks
Your car is equipped with a central locking system. The key, used on the driver's door, the remote control or central
locking button, will lock/unlock both doors and the trunk.
· Turn the key once to unlock the driver's door only.
· Turn the key again (within 10 seconds) to unlock both doors and the trunk.
One turn with the key towards lock in the drivers door locks both doors and the trunk.
· Use the switch on the front door armrests to lock/unlock the car from the inside.
Check the action of the button on the other door to verify its function (lock/ unlock).
WARNING!
If the doors are locked while driving, this may hinder rapid access to the occupants of the car in the event of an
accident. (Also see information on "Child safety locks").
NOTE :
· If a door is not closed completely, the courtesy lights will stay on and a chime will sound until the door is closed.
· As an added anti-theft measure, new keys have been developed which may take slightly longer to copy or replace if
the original keys are misplaced. Duplicate keys may be ordered from your Volvo retailer.
Immobilizer (start inhibitor)
Each of the keys supplied with your car contains a coded transmitter and receiver (transponder). The code in the key is
transmitted to an antenna in the ignition switch where it is compared to the code stored in the start inhibitor module.
The car can only be started if a properly coded key is used.
If you misplace a key, take the other keys to an authorized Volvo retailer. The existing code in the start inhibitor
module and all the keys will be erased as an antitheft measure and a new code will be programmed in.
NOTE:
Not more than one of the keys for your car should be kept on the same key ring. This could cause conflicting signals to
be transmitted to the ignition switch, making it impossible to start the car.

Vehicle loading
The tires on your Volvo should perform to specifications at all normal loads when inflated as recommended on the tire
information label. The label is located on the inside of the fuel filler flap. The label lists both tire and vehicle design
limits. Do not load your car beyond the load limits indicated.
WARNING!
Improperly inflated tires will reduce tire life, adversely affect vehicle handling and can possibly lead to failure
resulting in loss of vehicle control without prior warning.
