2006 Volvo S40
If you are towing a trailer, this light will flash simultaneously with the turn signals on the
trailer. If the light does not flash when signaling, one of the turn signals on the trailer or on the car are
not functioning properly.
2. Parking brake applied
This light is on when the parking brake (hand brake) is applied. The parking brake lever is
situated between the front seats.
Canadian models are equipped with this symbol
.
3. SRS warning light
If this light comes on while the car is being driven, or remains on for longer than approximately
10 seconds after the car has been started, the SRS system's diagnostic functions have detected a fault in a
seat belt lock or tensioner, 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.
4. Oil pressure warning light
If the light comes on while driving, stop the car, stop the engine immediately, and check the
engine oil level. If the oil level is normal and the light stays on after restart, have the car towed to the
nearest trained and qualified Volvo service technician. After hard driving, the light may come on
occasionally when the engine is idling. This is normal, provided it goes off when the engine speed is
increased.
5. Seat belt reminder
This symbol (and the seat belt reminder light above the rear view mirror) will light up if either
front seat occupant has not buckled his/her seat belt. If the car is not moving, the symbols will go out
after approximately 6 seconds.
6. Generator warning light
If the light comes on while the engine is running, have the charging system checked by a
trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
7. Brake failure warning light
