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.
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.
pg. 23 Warning lights
TRACS disengaged (option)
If the TRACS (TRAction Control System) is manually disengaged with the switch on the dashboard (see page 27), the
warning light will come on. This will also come on to indicate a TRACS malfunction, and when the brakes overheat,
although it goes out again at the normal temperature level. If the lamp remains on, the system should be checked by
an authorized Volvo retailer. This lamp should not be confused with the ON/OFF indicator lamp above the switch.
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 25). 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.
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
The lamp will light up when the Winter/Wet starting mode is engaged or if gears "4-1" 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
