Indicator symbol for trailer
This symbol flashes when the
direction indicators are used and
the trailer is connected. If the sym-
bol does not flash then one of the
lamps on the trailer or the car is
faulty.
Parking brake applied
The symbol illuminates when the
parking brake is applied. Always
pull the parking brake lever to the
end position.
NOTE
The symbol illuminates irrespective of how
hard the parking brake is applied.
Airbags – SRS
If this symbol remains illuminated
or illuminates while driving, it
means a fault has been detected in
the seatbelt buckle, SRS, SIPS or
IC system. Volvo recommends that
drive directly to an authorised Volvo workshop
for inspection.
Low oil pressure
2
If this symbol illuminates during
driving then the engine's oil pres-
sure is too low. Stop the engine
immediately and check the engine
oil level, top up if necessary. If the
symbol illuminates and the oil level is normal
Volvo recommends that you contact an author-
ised Volvo workshop.
Seatbelt reminder
This symbol illuminates if someone
in a front seat has not put on their
seatbelt or if someone in a rear
seat has taken off their seatbelt.
Alternator not charging
If this symbol illuminates while
driving, a fault has occurred in the
electrical system. Volvo recom-
mends that you visit an authorised
Volvo workshop.
Fault in brake system
If this symbol illuminates, the brake
fluid level may be too low.
2 For certain engine variants, the symbol for low oil pressure is not used. Warnings are given via display text, see page 58.
