position (position II) before starting. This shows
that the symbols are functioning. When the

tions illustrated, depending on the vehicle's
equipment. The symbol for the parking brake
goes out when the parking brake is released.

that the driver has not fastened his/
her seat belt.
Supplemental Restraint System SRS
If this light comes on while the
vehicle is being driven, or remains
on for longer than approximately
10 seconds after the vehicle has
been started, the SRS system's
diagnostic functions have detected a fault in a
seat belt lock or pretensioner, 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.

stop immediately, open the hood and check
the brake fluid level in the reservoir, see
