The warning lights described on pages 20 and 21 should never stay on when driving
When the ignition key is turned on and before the engine starts, all of the warning lights should go on to test the
function of the bulbs. Should a light not go off after the engine has started, the system indicated should be
inspected. However, the parking brake reminder light will not go off until the parking brake has been fully
released.
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
If the light comes on (or stays on after the vehicle has started), the SRS diagnostic system has detected a fault.
Drive to an authorized Volvo retailer for an inspection of the system. See the SRS section for more information.
Check Engine Lamp
If the lamp comes on (or stays on after the vehicle has started), the engine diagnostic system has detected a
possible fault in the emission control system. Although driveability may not be affected, see an authorized Volvo
retailer as soon as possible for inspection.
NOTE : If the fuel filler cap is not closed tightly or if the engine is running when the car is refueled, the Check
Engine Lamp may indicate a fault. However, your vehicle's performance will not be affected. Use only Volvo
original or approved fuel filler caps.
Oil pressure warning light
If the light comes on while driving, stop the car and then stop the engine immediately and check the engine oil
level . See page 112.
If the light stays on after restart, have the car towed to the nearest authorized Volvo
retailer. 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.

This light will be on when the parking brake (hand brake) is applied. The parking brake lever is situated
between the front seats.
