pg. 20 Instruments
1 Coolant temperature gauge
Do not drive the car with the pointer in the red range. The pointer should be approximately midway on the gauge
face when driving. If the pointer approaches the red range repeatedly, check coolant level. See page 117
.
2 Coolant temperature warning light
ProCarManuals.com

If this light comes on while driving, the coolant temperature is too high. Stop the engine and check the coolant level in
the expansion tank. See page 117.
3 Odometer
4 Speedometer
The longer the knob is turned, the faster the setting will change.
5 Trip odometer
This indicator measures shorter distances. The last digit indicates 1/10 mile/kilometer.
6 Button for setting clock/resetting trip odometer
In both cases, the ignition must be switched on
Clock: Without pressing the button, turn it clockwise to advance the clock, or counterclockwise to set the clock back.
Trip odometer: Press the button to reset the trip odometer.
7 Tachometer
Reads thousands of engine rpm. The needle should never be in the solid red range.
8 Clock, Trip Computer/Ambient temperature
NOTE: See page 27- 29
for information on the trip computer.
9 Low fuel level warning light
When this light comes on, there are approximately 1.9 US gal. (7 liters) of fuel remaining in the tank.
10 Fuel gauge
Fuel tank capacity: 16 US gallons (60 liters).
When refuelling the fuel gauge needle will not register until the volume of gasoline in the tank exceeds 3.2 US gal. (12
liters).

12 Brake circuit not working (brake fluid level too low) and EBD
13 Battery charge failure
14 Parking brake applied
15 Low oil pressure
16 ABS (anti-lock brakes) malfunction
17 Automatic transmission: position W, 4 or 3 or L
18 Malfunction indicator light
19 Immobilizer on
20 Service Reminder Indicator
21 DSA (option)
22 High coolant temperature warning light
23 Low fuel warning light
Starting check
After a few seconds, all lights except 16 and 19 will go out. Once the engine starts, these lights will also go out.
* Indicates failure of a brake light, not failure of the braking system (see item 12).
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.

WARNING!
The coolant fan may start or continue to operate (for up to 6 minutes) after the engine has been switched off.
pg. 112 Fuel/emissions systems
Fuel system
The fuel system is all-electronic and is microprocessor-controlled. It can continually compensate for variation in
engine load, speed and temperature to give the best economy and power. A mass air flow sensor measures the inducted
air. In this way the system can make instantaneous adjustments for changes in air temperature or density, thus always
assuring the best economy with the lowest possible exhaust emissions.
Heated oxygen sensor
This is an emission control system designed to reduce emissions and improve fuel economy. The heated oxygen sensor
monitors the composition of the exhaust gases leaving the engine. The exhaust gas analysis is fed into an electronic
module. This adjusts the air-fuel ratio to provide optimum conditions for combustion and efficient reduction of the
three major pollutants (hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and oxides of nitrogen (NOx)) by a three-way catalytic
converter.
Crankcase ventilation
The engine is provided with positive crankcase ventilation which prevents crankcase gases from being released into the
atmosphere. Instead, the crankcase gases are admitted to the intake manifold and cylinders.
Evaporative control system
The car is equipped with an evaporative control system which prevents gasoline vapor from being released into the
atmosphere.
The system consists of a fuel tank with filler pipe and cap, a rollover valve, a Fill Limit Vent Valve (FLVV), vapor
vent lines, a charcoal canister, a purge line, a purge control valve and engine connections. In addition, there is a
pressure sensor connected to the fuel tank and a filter -protected Canister Close Valve (CCV) on the atmospheric side
of the canister, for system diagnosis.
The gasoline vapor is channeled through the rollover valve and the FLVV via the vapor vent lines into the charcoal
canister, where it is stored. When the engine is started, the gasoline vapor is drawn from the charcoal canister to the
engine's air intake system and into the combustion process.
NOTE:
If the fuel filler cap is not closed tightly or if the engine is running when the car is refueled, the Check Engine light
