Owner information
Your car is equipped with a display screen* where you can find information on how yourcar works. This owner's manual is a supple-ment to the information and contains impor-tant text, the latest updates, as well asinstructions that can be useful when you, forpractical reasons, cannot read the on-screeninformation. Changing the display language may mean that some information does not correspond tonational or local laws and regulations.
IMPORTANT
The driver is always responsible that the vehicle is driven safely in traffic and thatapplicable laws and regulations are fol-lowed. It is also important that the car ismaintained and handled in accordancewith Volvo's recommendations in theowner's information. If there should be a difference between the information on the screen and in the prin-ted manual then it is always the printedinformation that applies.
Reading the owner's manual
A good way of getting to know your new car is to read the owner's manual, ideally beforeyour first journey. This will give you the oppor-tunity to familiarise yourself with new func-tions, to see how best to handle the car in dif-ferent situations, and to make the best use ofall the car's features. Please pay attention tothe safety instructions contained in the man-ual. The specifications, design features and illus- trations in this owner's manual are not bind-ing. We reserve the right to make modifica-tions without prior notice.

ABL faultThe symbol illuminates if a fault has arisen in the ABL function (Active Bending Lights).
Emissions systemIf the symbol illuminates after the engine hasbeen started then it may be due to a fault inthe car's emissions system. Drive to a work-shop for checking. Volvo recommends thatyou seek assistance from an authorised Volvoworkshop.

1. Stop the car in a safe place and turn off
the engine. 2. Restart the engine.
3. If the symbol remains illuminated, drive to
a workshop to have the ABS system checked. Volvo recommends that youseek assistance from an authorised Volvoworkshop.

Stability systemA flashing symbol indicates that the stabilitysystem is operating. If the symbol illuminateswith constant glow then there is a fault in thesystem.
Stability system, sport modeSport mode allows for a more active drivingexperience. The system then detects whetherthe accelerator pedal, steering wheel move-ments and cornering are more active than innormal driving and then allows controlledskidding of the rear section up to a certainlevel before it intervenes and stabilises thecar.
Engine preheater (diesel)This symbol illuminates during engine pre-heating. Preheating mostly takes place due tolow temperature.
Low level in fuel tankWhen the symbol illuminates the level in thefuel tank is low, refuel as soon as possible.
