8 High beam indicator light
9 Tachometer
Indicates engine speed in thousands of rpm.
Do not drive for long with the needle in the red
section. The engine has an built-in function
preventing too high engine speed. When this
function operates, you may discern some
pulsation, which is normal.
10 Gear and driving mode indicator
The currently selected driving mode is
displayed here. If you use the Geartronic
function on the automatic transmission, the
currently selected gear will be displayed.
11 Ambient temperature indicator
This display indicates the air temperature
outside your car. A "snowflake" symbol in the
text window is displayed when the temperature
is in the range of 23 - 36° F (-5 - +2° C).

28
Indicator and warning lights
The indicator and warning lights described on pages 28 and 29 should never stay on when driving*
When the ignition key is turned, all of the warning lights in the lower
right-hand side of the instrument panel should go on to test the function
of the bulbs. If a light does not go off after the engine has started, thesystem indicated should be inspected.
NOTE: The parking brake reminder light will not go off until the
parking brake has been fully released.
Warning lamp in the
center of the instrument
panel
This lamp lights up red or yellow depending
on the severity of the fault that has been
detected.
Red symbol - Stop the vehicle as soon as
possible in a suitable location and read the
message shown in the text window. The
symbol and accompanying text will remain on
until the fault has been corrected.

shown in the text window. The text can be

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.

Remote central locking and sideview
mirror memory
If you lock the car and later unlock it with the
same remote control and open the driver’s
door, the sideview mirrors will automatically
move to the position they were in when you
left the car. This feature will work in the same
way with all of the remote control transmitters
(up to 3) that you use with your car.
