the vehicle has been started, the SRS system's diagnostic functions have detected a fault in a seat belt lock or
tensioner, a front airbag, side impact airbag, and/or an inflatable curtain. Have the system(s) inspected by a trained and
qualified Volvo service technician as soon as possible.

Indicator and warning symbols
BRAKE 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 173
for reservoir position and page 177 for instructions.
Canadian models are equipped with this warning light.
If the BRAKE and ABS warning lights come on at the same time, this could indicate a fault in the brake system.
- Stop the vehicle in a suitable place and switch off the engine.
- Restart the engine.
- If both warning lights go off, no further action is required.
- If both lights are still on after the engine has been restarted, switch off the engine again and check the brake fluid
level (see page 173
for the location of the brake fluid reservoir).
- If the brake fluid level is above the MIN mark, drive carefully to an authorized Volvo retailer and have the brake
system inspected.

Alarm
The alarm is automatically armed whenever you lock your vehicle.
When armed, the alarm continuously monitors a number of points on the vehicle.
The following conditions will set off the alarm:
The hood is forced open.
The trunk is forced open.
A door is forced open.
The ignition switch is tampered with.
If there is movement in the passenger compartment (if the vehicle is equipped with the optional movement sensor).
The vehicle is lifted or towed (if the vehicle is equipped with the optional inclination sensor).
The battery is disconnected (while the alarm is armed).
The siren is disconnected when the alarm is disarmed.
Arming the alarm
Press the LOCK button on the remote control, lock the vehicle using the key in the driver's door or press the central
lock button on the driver's door with the door open. One long flash of the turn signals will confirm that the alarm is
armed.
Disarming the alarm
Press the UNLOCK button on the remote control or unlock the doors with the key.
Turning off (stopping) the alarm
If the alarm is sounding, it can be stopped by pressing the UNLOCK button on the remote control or by unlocking the
driver's door with the key.
Visual alarm signal
The visual alarm signal is given by flashing all turn signals and turning on the interior lighting for approximately 5
minutes.
Audible alarm signal
An audible alarm signal is given by a battery powered siren. One alarm cycle lasts for 25 seconds.
"Panic" button
In an emergency situation, this feature can be used to attract attention.
Activate the "panic" button by pressing the red button on the remote control (see illustration on page 97
) for at least 3
seconds or by pressing this button twice within 3 seconds. The turn signals will flash, and the vehicle's horn will
sound. The function can be turned off by pressing any of the buttons on the remote control or will stop automatically
after 25 seconds. When a button is pressed, there is a 5 second delay before the panic alarm is deactivated.

made with particular thoroughness when the engine is new or when the cooling system has been drained.
Do not remove the filler cap other than for topping up with coolant. Frequent removal may prevent coolant circulation
between the engine and the expansion tank during engine warm up and cooling.
Changing coolant
Normally, the coolant does not need to be changed. If the system must be drained, consult your Volvo retailer.
NOTE: Do not top off with water only. This reduces the rust-protective and antifreeze qualities of the coolant and has
a lower boiling point. It can also cause damage to the cooling system if it should freeze. Top off with Volvo Genuine
Coolant/Antifreeze only (a 50/ 50 mix of water and antifreeze).
CAUTION!
The cooling system must always be kept filled to the correct level. If it is not kept filled, there can be high local
temperatures in the engine which could result in damage. Different types of antifreeze/ coolant may not be mixed.
WARNING!
Never remove the radiator cap while the engine is warm. Wait until the vehicle cools.
