See page 116 for more information on this function.

PARKING BRAKE
This light will be on when the parking brake is applied. The parking bra\
ke pedal is located on the left
side of the driver's footwell.
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 t\
he turn signals on the trailer. If the
light does not flash when signaling, neither the trailer's turn signals \
nor the vehicle's turn signals are
functioning.
Oil pressure warning light
If the light comes on while driving, stop the vehicle and then stop the \
engine immediately and
check the engine oil level See
page 142. If the light stays on after restart, have the vehicle towed to the
nearest authorized Volvo retailer. After hard driving, the light may com\
e on occasionally when the
engine is idling. This is normal, provided it goes off when the engine s\
peed is increased.
CHECK ENGINE Malfunction indicator light
On-Board Diagnostics II (OBDII): As you drive, a computer called "OBDI\
I" monitors your vehicle'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 t\
his happens, please have your
vehicle 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
vehicle's behavior. Even so, an uncorrected condition could hurt fuel ec\
onomy, emission cleanliness, and
driveability. Extended driving without correcting the cause could even d\
amage other components in
your vehicle.
Canadian models are equipped with this warning light.

engaged.
l Use this function if the outside air is contaminated with exhaust gases,\
smoke, etc or to heat/cool the
vehicle quickly.
l Recirculation should not be used for more than 15 minutes. If your windows begin to fog or mist, make
sure that the recirculation function is switched off.
l Selecting Defroster automatically switches recirculation off.

ode)
Press and hold the recirculation button for at least 3 seconds to activa\
te a recirculation timer mode. The
amber LED in the recirculation button will flash 5 times to show that th\
e timer mode is being activated. In
timer mode, each time the recirculation button is pressed, the climate c\
ontrol system will recirculate the air
in the passenger compartment for 5-12 minutes, depending on the outside \
air temperature, and then revert
back to fresh air.
l Timer mode deactivation: Press and hold the recirculation button for 3 s\
econds. The amber LED in the
recirculation button will illuminate steadily for 5 seconds to show a re\

l In normal mode, when the recirculation button is pressed, the climate co\
ntrol system will recirculate the
air in the passenger compartment until the recirculation button is press\
ed again.
l Timer mode memory: If the vehicle is turned off while timer mode is acti\
ve, timer mode will still be
active when the vehicle is restarted.

Interior Air Quality sensor (option)
Some vehicles are equipped with a multifilter and air quality sensor. Th\
e filter separates gases and particles,
thereby reducing the amounts of odors and contaminants entering the vehi\
cle. The air quality sensor detects
increased levels of contaminants in the outside air. When the air qualit\
y sensor detects contaminated outside
air, the air intake closes and the air inside the passenger compartment \
is recirculated, i.e. no outside air
enters the vehicle. The filter also cleans recirculated passenger compar\
tment air.
When the ECC system is in the AUTO mode, the green LED will be on
.

climate.
3. The MAN LED lights. Recirculation is now activated.
Keep in mind the following:
l Make it a rule to have the Air Quality sensor activated at all times.
l Recirculation is limited in cold climates to avoid fogging.

l If fogging occurs, use the defroster functions for the windshield, side \
windows and rear window. See page
53.
l The filter should be changed at the intervals recommended in the mainten\
ance schedule. However, if the
vehicle is used in a severely contaminated environment, it may be necess\
ary to change the filter more
frequently.
