Starting check
After a few seconds, all lights except 9 and 20 will go out. Once the engine starts, 9 and 20 will also go out.
* Indicates failure of a brake light, not failure of the braking system (see item 15).
pg. 22 Warning lights
The warning lights described on pages 22 and 23 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.
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 114.
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.
Parking brake reminder light
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 warning light:
WARNING!
If the fluid level is below the lowest MIN mark in the brake fluid reservoir: DO NOT DRIVE. Tow the car to a
Volvo retailer and have the brake system checked and any leakage repaired.
Brake failure warning light
If the light comes on while driving or braking, stop immediately, open the hood and check the brake fluid level

Canadian models are equipped with this warning light:
Bulb failure warning light
The light will come on if one of the brake light bulbs are defective when the brake pedal is pressed.
Check the fuse and bulb. See sections "Replacing bulbs" and "fuses".

DSA (option)
Dynamic Stability Assistance
This is a system which helps keep the drivewheels from spinning. The light flashes if the road surface is slippery,
the wheels are spinning and the system is working.
The control light comes on if a fault occurs in the DSA system. It also comes on if the system is switched off via
the switch.
For more information see page 30.
Service Reminder Light
This light will come on according to preset service intervals or after 750 hours of driving or after 12 months,
whichever occurs first. It is a reminder to the driver that the service interval has been exceeded. The light will
stay on for 2 minutes after start until reset by the servicing retailer.
Anti-lock Brake system (ABS)
If the warning lamp lights up there is a malfunction of the ABS system (the standard braking system will
however function). The vehicle should be driven to a Volvo retailer for inspection.
See page 73
for additional information.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp
On-Board Diagnostics II (OBDII): As you drive, a computer called "OBDII" monitors your car's engine,
transmission, electrical and emission systems. The CHECK ENGINE light will light up if the computer senses a
condition that potentially may need correcting. When this happens, please have your car checked by a Volvo
retailer as soon as possible.
A CHECK ENGINE light may have many causes. Sometimes, you may not notice a change in your car's
behavior. Even so, an uncorrected condition could hurt fuel economy, emission cleanliness, and driveability.
Extended driving without correcting the cause could even damage other components in your car.

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 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.
Daytime Running Lights:
The S40 and V40 come from the factory with daytime running lights activated. Carry out the following steps if
you will deactivate them(in the U.S. only *). These steps may be carried out again to reactivate and deactivate
the daytime running lights as desired.
Programming for On or OFF
Turn the headlight switch to position
.

station operator.
Unleaded fuel
Each Volvo has a three-way catalytic converter and must use only unleaded gasoline. U.S. and Canadian regulations
require that pumps delivering unleaded gasoline be labeled "UNLEADED". Only these pumps have nozzles which fit
your car's filler inlet. It is unlawful to dispense leaded fuel into a vehicle labeled "unleaded gasoline only". Leaded
gasoline damages the three-way catalytic converter and the heated oxygen sensor system. Repeated use of leaded
gasoline will lessen the effectiveness of the emission control system and could result in loss of emission warranty
coverage. State and local vehicle inspection programs will make detection of misfueling easier, possibly resulting in
emission test failure for misfueled vehicles.
NOTE: Some U.S. and Canadian gasolines contain an octane enhancing additive called methly-cyclopentadienyl
manganese tricarbonyl (MMT). If such fuels are used, your Emission Control System performance may be affected,
and the Check Engine Lamp located on your instrument panel may light. If this occurs, please return your vehicle to
an authorized Volvo retailer for service.
Carbon Monoxide - Important Warning
Carbon monoxide is a poisonous, colorless, and odorless gas. It is present in all exhaust gases. If you ever smell
exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, make sure the passenger compartment is ventilated, and immediately return the
vehicle to your retailer for correction.
Fuel Formulations
Do not use gasoline that contains lead as a knock inhibitor, and do not use lead additives. Besides damaging the
exhaust emission control systems on your car, lead has been strongly linked to certain forms of cancer.
Many fuels contain benzene as a solvent. Unburned benzene has been strongly linked to certain forms of cancer. If you
live in an area where you must fill your own gas tank, take precautions. These may include:
standing upwind away from the filler nozzle while refueling
refueling only at gas stations with vapor recovery systems that fully seal the mouth of the filler neck during refueling
wear neoprene gloves while handling a fuel filler nozzle.
Use of Additives
With the exception of gas line antifreeze during winter months, do not add solvents, thickeners, or other store -bought
additives to your car's fuel, cooling, or lubricating systems. Overuse may damage your engine, and some of these
additives contain organically volatile chemicals. Do not needlessly expose yourself to these chemicals.
ENGINE OIL
Although some oil consumption occurs during normal engine operation, more oil is consumed when the engine is new
as the internal parts generate higher friction while wearing in to each other. From the time the engine is new until
the first service is performed, the oil consumption could be higher than normal. For this reason, it is especially
important to check the oil every time you refuel your car during this period. See page 114
.
pg. 63 Fuel requirements, Refueling
Octane rating
Volvo engines are designed for optimum performance on unleaded premium gasoline with an octane rating. AKI of 91,
or above. AKI (ANTI KNOCK INDEX) is an average of the Research Octane Number, RON, and the Motor Octane
Number, MON. (RON + MON/2).
