2008 VOLVO S60 Owners Manual

ISOFIX lower anchors
WARNING
Be sure to fasten the attachment correctly to the anchor (see the illustration above). If the attachment is not
correctly fastened, the child restraint may not be properly secured in the event of a collision.
42 01 Safety
Top tether anchors
Top tether anchors
Your Volvo is equipped with child restraint top tether anchorages in all rear seat positions.
Using the top tether anchorages
1. Place the child restraint on the rear seat.
2. Route the top tether strap under the head restraint and fasten its attachment to the anchorage.

WARNING
Be sure to fasten the child tether attachment correctly to the anchor. If it is not correctly fastened, the child seat may
not be properly restrained in the event of a collision.
3. Firmly tension the top tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer's instructions. Tension the top tether
strap only after the lower anchor straps or the seat belt have been firmly tensioned.
See page 40
for on securing the child restraint to ISOFIX lower anchors.
WARNING
Never route a top tether strap over the top or around the head restraint. It should always be routed under the head
restraint.
Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted child restraints.
Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts or harnesses. The anchorages are not able to withstand
excessive forces on them in the event of collision if full harness seat belts or adult seat belts are installed to them. An
adult who uses a belt anchored in a child restraint anchorage runs a great risk of suffering severe injuries should a
collision occur.
Do not install rear speakers that require the removal of the top tether anchors or interfere with the proper use of the
top tether strap.
43 01 Safety

7. Warning symbol
8. High beam indicator
9. Tachometer
Indicates engine speed in thousands of revolutions per minute (rpm). Do not drive for long with the needle in the red
section. The engine has an built-in function preventing excessively high engine speeds. When this function operates, you
may discern some pulsation, which in that case is quite normal.
10. Gear and driving mode indicator
The currently selected driving mode is displayed here. If you use the optional Geartronic function on the automatic
transmission, the currently selected gear will be displayed.
11. Ambient temperature gauge
This display indicates the air temperature outside your vehicle. A "snowflake" symbol in the text window is displayed
when the temperature is in the range of 23 - 36 °F (-5 - +2 °C).
Please note that this symbol does not indicate a fault with your vehicle.
At low speeds or when the vehicle is not moving, the temperature readings may be slightly higher than the actual
ambient temperature.
12. Clock/set button
Turn the button to set the clock.
13. Fuel gauge
See page 246
for fuel tank volume. When the warning light in the gauge comes on, there are approximately 1.8 US gal.
(8 liters) of fuel remaining in the tank. For more information on fuel level and consumption, see "Trip computer" on page
64.
14. Indicator and warning symbols
49 02 Instruments and controls
Instrument and warning symbols
The indicator and warning symbols1 light up when you turn the ignition key to the driving position (position II) before
starting. This shows that the symbols are functioning. When the engine starts, all symbols go out. If the engine is not
started within 5 seconds, all symbols except CHECK ENGINE and
go out. Certain symbols may not have their
functions illustrated, depending on the vehicle's equipment. The symbol for the parking brake goes out when the parking
brake is released.

1On certain engines, the symbol for low oil pressure is not used. Instead, a text warning is provided in the information display, see also page 52.
Warning symbol in the center of the instrument panel
This symbol shines as a red or yellow light depending on the severity of the discovered fault.
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.
Yellow symbol - Follow the instructions shown in the text window. The text can be erased by pressing the READ button
(see page 52
), or will disappear automatically after two minutes.
When the message "TIME FOR REGULAR SERVICE" is displayed, the text can be erased and the yellow symbol light
can be turned off by pressing the READ button. The text will disappear and the symbol light will go out automatically
after two minutes.
Symbols in the instrument panel
Seat belt reminder
This symbol lights up to indicate that the driver has not fastened his/her seat belt.
Supplemental Restraint System SRS
If this light comes on while the vehicle is being driven, or remains on for longer than approximately 10 seconds after the
vehicle 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.
BRAKE - Brake failure warning light
If the light comes on while driving or braking, stop immediately, open the hood and check the brake fluid level in the
reservoir. See page 196
.
Canadian models are equipped with this warning light.
50 02 Instruments and controls
Instrument and warning symbols
If the BRAKE and ABS warning lights come on at the same time, this could indicate a fault in the brake system.
1. Stop the vehicle in a suitable place and switch off the engine.
2. Restart the engine.
3. If both warning lights go off, no further action is required.
4. If both lights are still on after the engine has been restarted, switch off the engine again and check the brake fluid level
(see page 196
for the location of the brake fluid reservoir).
5. If the brake fluid level is above the MIN mark, drive carefully to a trained and qualified Volvo service technician and
have the brake system inspected.
