2001 VOLVO S60 turn signal

For Volvo, all homogeneous plastic parts weighing more than 1.7 oz. (50 grams) are marked with international
symbols that indicate how the component is to be sorted for recycling.
In addition to continuous environmental refinement of conventional gasoline- powered internal combustion engines,
Volvo is actively looking at advanced technology alternative- fuel vehicles.
When you drive a Volvo, you become our partner in the work to lessen the car's impact on the environment. To reduce
your vehicle's environmental impact, you can:
Maintain proper air pressure in your tires. Tests have shown decreased fuel economy with improperly inflated tires.
Follow the recommended maintenance schedule.
Drive at a constant speed.
See an authorized Volvo retailer as soon as possible for inspection if the check engine (malfunction indicator) lamp
illuminates, or stays on after the vehicle has started.
Properly dispose of any vehicle- related waste such as used motor oil, used batteries, brake pads, etc.
When cleaning your car, use Volvo's own car care products, all of which have systematically been adapted to the
environment.

Prem-Air
On the surface of the radiator in the engine compartment, there is a special coating called Prem- Air. Prem- Air works
as a catalytic converter, converting most of the ground level ozone passing through the radiator into oxygen, thereby
reducing harmful ground-level ozone.

PARK BRAKE Parking brake applied
This light will be 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.
Rear fog light
This light indicates that the fog light is on.
Turn signal indicator - trailer (certain models)
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, neither the trailer's turn signals nor the car's turn signals are functioning.
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 172
. 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.
CHECK ENGINE Malfunction indicator light
If the light 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.
Canadian models are equipped with this warning light:
NOTE: If the fuel filler cap is not closed tightly or if the engine is running when the car is refueled, the Malfunction
Indicator Lamp may indicate a fault. However, your vehicle's performance will not be affected. Use only Volvo
original or approved fuel filler caps.
pg. 34 Indicator and warning symbols
Cars equipped with STC or DSTC (option) Cars equipped with STC or DSTC have a switch in the center console
marked STC or DSTC. See pages 37, 38
.
If the indicator light flashes, it indicates that the STC or DSTC system is working.
The indicator light stays on when the STC or DSTC system has been switched off with the appropriate button in the
center console.
Fault in the STC or DSTC system
If the indicator light remains on, there is a fault in one of the systems.
Stop the car in a safe place and switch off the engine. Restart the engine.
If the indicator light goes off, no further action is necessary.
ProCarManuals.com

Please be aware that the car's handling characteristics may be affected if Dynamic Stability Traction Control
(DSTC) is switched off.
6. Temporarily disconnecting the alarm sensors (option)
See page 123
for more details.
7. Not in use
8. 12 volt socket
This 12 volt socket can be used to plug in certain accessories such as cellular telephones, etc. The ignition key must
be in position 1 (or higher) for the auxiliary socket to function.
NOTE: The auxiliary sockets can also be used for cigarette lighters, which are available at your Volvo retailer.
pg. 39 Lighting panel
A - Headlights and parking lights
All lighting off.
Models with daytime running lights:
Low beam headlights will automatically come on if the ignition key is in position II. Front and rear parking lights and
license plate lights will also be on. Volvo recommends the use of daytime running lights. If, however, you would
prefer to have these lights turned off (USA only), please consult your Volvo retailer. Please note that the use of
daytime running lights is mandatory in Canada.
Parking lights on. The parking lights should be switched off when you leave the car to help avoid battery
drain.
Headlights, parking lights, license plate lights and instrument panel illumination are on if the ignition key is in
position II.
If the headlight switch is in this position, all lights will go out when the ignition is switched off.
The headlight switch must be in this position before the high beams will function.
Switch from high to low beams and vice versa by pulling the turn signal switch lever on the left side of steering
column toward you.
B - Instrument lighting
Move the thumb wheel up to increase brightness or down to decrease brightness. There is also an instrument panel
illumination sensor (see illustration on page 54
) which automatically adjusts the level of illumination.
The symbols have maximum illumination in daylight (only the background lighting can be adjusted). At night, both
the symbol light and background lighting can be adjusted.

changed by an authorized Volvo retailer).
