Symbols - right side
1. Turn signal indicator for 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, one of the turn signals on the trailer or on the car are not functioning properly.
2. Parking brake applied
This light is on when the parking brake (hand brake) is applied. The parking brake lever is situated between the front
seats. Always pull up this lever as far as possible when applying the parking brake.
NOTE
Canadian models are equipped with the second symbol.
3. SRS warning light
If this light comes on while the car is being driven, or remains on for longer than approximately 10 seconds after the
car has been started, the SRS system's diagnostic functions have detected a fault in a seat belt lock or pretensioner, a
front airbag, side impact airbag, and/or an inflatable curtain. Have the system(s) inspected by a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician as soon as possible.
4. Oil pressure warning light1
If the light comes on while driving, stop the car, stop the engine immediately, and check the engine oil level. If the oil
level is normal and the light stays on after restart, have the car towed to the nearest trained and qualified Volvo service
technician. 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.
