1989 Volvo 740

Alternator warning light
If the light comes on while the engine is running, check the tension of the alternator drive belt as soon as
possible.

NOTE: This warning light is illuminated if the alternator is not charging. However, parking brake,
brake failure and bulb failure warning lights will be illuminated at the same time due to the design of the
system.

Check Engine warning light
If the light comes on (or stays on after the vehicle has started), the Engine Check diagnostic system has
detected a fault. Drive to an authorized Volvo dealer for inspection.

Oil pressure warning light
If the light comes on during driving, the oil pressure is too low. Stop the car and then stop the engine
immediately and check the engine oil level. See section titled "Engine oil".
After hard driving, the light will come on occasionally when the engine is idling. This is normal,
provided it goes off when the engine speed is increased.

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.

Brake failure warning light
If the light comes on while driving or braking, this indicates that the brake fluid level is too low.
Stop immediately, open the hood and check the brake fluid level in the reservoir (see section "Engine
compartment" for reservoir position)!
