Alternator not charging
This symbol illuminates during driving if a
fault has occurred in the electrical system.
Visit a workshop. Volvo recommends that you
seek assistance from an authorised Volvo
workshop.
Fault in brake system
If this symbol illuminates, the brake fluid level
may be too low. Stop the car in a safe place
and check the level in the brake fluid reser-
voir; see Brake and clutch fluid - level
(p. 349).
If the brake and ABS symbols illuminate at
the same time, there may be a fault in the
brake force distribution system.
1. Stop the car in a safe place and turn off
the engine.
2. Restart the engine.
•
If both symbols extinguish, continue
driving.
•
If the symbols remain illuminated,
check the level in the brake fluid reser-
voir; see Brake and clutch fluid - level
(p. 349). If the brake fluid level is nor-
mal but the symbols are still illumi-
nated, the car can be driven, with great
care, to a workshop to have the brake
system checked. Volvo recommends
that you seek assistance from an
authorised Volvo workshop.
WARNING
If the brake fluid is under the MIN level in
the brake fluid reservoir, do not drive fur-
ther before topping up the brake fluid.
The loss of brake fluid must be investiga-
ted by a workshop. Volvo recommends
that you contact an authorised Volvo
workshop.
WARNING
If the BRAKE and ABS symbols are lit at
the same time, there is a risk that the rear
end will skid during heavy braking.
Warning
The red warning symbol illuminates when a
fault has been indicated which could affect
the safety and/or driveability of the car. An
explanatory text is shown on the information
display at the same time. The symbol remains
visible until the fault has been rectified but the
text message can be cleared with the
OK
button; see Menu navigation - combined
instrument panel (p. 107). The warning sym-
bol can also illuminate in conjunction with
other symbols.
Action:
1. Stop in a safe place. Do not drive the car
further.
2. Read the information on the information
display. Implement the action in accord-
ance with the message in the display.
Clear the message using the OK button.

tion symbol illuminates.
