 CAUTION 
 Keyless drive remote controls should never be  left in the vehicle. In the event of a  break-in, a  remote found in the
vehicle could make it possible to start the engine.
 Electromagnetic fields or metal obstructions can interfere  with the keyless  drive system. Avoid placing  the remote
control near cellular phones, metallic objects or e.g.,  in a  metal briefcase.

Instrument overview 

The information displays  show information on some of the vehicle's functions, such as cruise control, the trip
computer and  messages. The information is shown with text and  symbols.
More detailed information can be  found in the descriptions of the functions that use the information displays.
Gauges
Speedometer
Fuel gauge, see also the section on refueling beginning on page 193.For more information on fuel level  and
consumption, see "Trip  computer" on page 147
.
The tachometer  shows  engine speed in thousands of revolutions per minute (rpm). Do not drive continuously with
the needle in the red area of the gauge. The engine management system will automatically  prevent excessively high
engines speeds. This will be  noticeable as a  pronounced unevenness in engine speed.
Indicator, information, and warning symbols
Indicator and  information symbols 

Indicator and  warning symbols
High beam and  turn signal indicators
Function check
All indicator and  warning symbols light up in ignition mode II  or when the engine is started. When the engine has
started, all the symbols should go out except the parking brake symbol,  which  only goes out when the brake is
disengaged.
If the engine does not start or if the function check is carried out in ignition mode II , all symbols go out after 5
seconds except the
75 03 Your driving  environment
Instruments and controls
symbol  for faults in the vehicle's emissions  system and  the symbol  for low oil pressure.
Certain  symbols may not have their functions illustrated, depending on the vehicle's equipment.
Indicator and warning symbols
Trailer turn signal indicator
If you are towing a  trailer, this  light will flash  simultaneously with the trailer's turn signals. If the light does not flash,
or if they flash  faster than usual when signaling a  turn, the turn signals on the trailer or on the vehicle are not
functioning properly.
Malfunction  Indicator Light
As you drive, a  computer called On- Board  Diagnostics II (OBDII)  monitors your vehicle's engine, transmission,
electrical and  emission systems.
The malfunction indicator (CHECK ENGINE) light will illuminate if the computer senses a  condition that potentially 

may need correcting. When this  happens, please have your vehicle checked by a  trained and  qualified Volvo service
technician as soon as possible.
A malfunction indicator (CHECK ENGINE) light may have many causes. Sometimes,  you may not notice  a  change in
your car's behavior. Even so, an  uncorrected condition could hurt fuel economy, emission controls, and  drivability.
Extended driving without correcting the cause could even damage other components in your vehicle.
Canadian models are equipped with this  symbol: 
Anti-lock Brake System  (ABS) warning light
If the warning light comes on, there may be  a  malfunction in the ABS  system (the standard braking system will still
function). Check the system by:
1. Stopping in a  safe place and  switching off the ignition.
76 03 Your driving  environment
Instruments and controls
2. Restart the engine.
3. If the warning light goes off, no further action  is required.
If the warning light remains on, the vehicle should be  driven to a  trained and  qualified Volvo service technician for
inspection. See  page 113
 for additional information.
Canadian models are equipped with this  symbol:
Rear fog light
This symbol  indicates that the rear fog light (located in the driver's side tail light cluster) is on.
Stability system
This indicator symbol  flashes when the DSTC (Dynamic Stability and  Traction Control system) is actively working to
stabilize the vehicle. See  page 151
 for more detailed information.
Tire pressure monitoring  system (TPMS) - option
This symbol  illuminates  to indicate that tire pressure in one  or more tires is low. See  page 242
 for detailed information.
Low fuel level
When this  light comes on, there are approximately 2.1 US gallons (8 liters) of fuel remaining in the tank.
Information symbol
The information symbol  illuminates  and  a  text message is displayed if a  fault is detected in one  of the vehicle's
systems. The message can be  erased and  the symbol  can be  turned off by pressing the READ  button (see page 124
 for
information) or this  will take place automatically  after a  short time (the length of time varies, depending on the
function affected).
The information symbol  may also illuminate together with other symbols.
High beam indicator 

This symbol  illuminates  when the high beam headlights are on, or if the high beam flash  function is used.
Left turn signal indicator
Right turn signal indicator
 NOTE 
 Both  turn signal indicators  will flash  when the hazard warning flashers are used.
 If either of these indicators  flash  faster than normal, the direction indicators  are not functioning properly.
Indicator and warning symbols
Low oil pressure
If the light comes on while driving, stop the vehicle, 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 vehicle towed  to the nearest trained and  qualified Volvo
service technician. This is normal, provided it goes off when the engine speed is increased.
Parking brake applied
This symbol  illuminates  when the parking brake is applied.  On models
77 03 Your driving  environment
Instruments and controls
equipped with the electric  parking brake, this  symbol  flashes while the brake is being applied  and  then glows steadily.
A flashing symbol  means that a  fault has been detected. See  the message in the information display.
Canadian models are equipped with this  symbol: 
 NOTE  

This symbol  also comes on when the mechanical parking brake is only slightly  applied.
Airbags - 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.
Seat belt reminder
This symbol  comes on for approximately 6 seconds if the driver has not fastened his or her seat belt.
Generator not charging
This symbol  comes on during driving if a  fault has occurred in the electrical system. Contact an  authorized Volvo
workshop.
Engine temperature
Engine overheating can result from  low oil or coolant  levels, towing or hard driving at high heat and  altitude, or
mechanical malfunction. Engine overheating will be  signaled with text and  a  red warning triangle in the middle of the
instrument display. The exact text will depend on the degree of overheating. It may range from  " HIGH ENGINE
TEMP - SLOW DOWN " to "HIGH ENGINE TEMP - STOP  ENGINE ." If appropriate, other messages, such as
" COOLANT LEVEL LOW " will also be  displayed. If your engine does overheat  so that you must  stop the engine,
always allow the engine to cool before attempting to check oil and  coolant  levels.
Fault in brake system
If this  symbol  lights, the brake fluid level  may be  too low. Stop the vehicle in a  safe place and  check the level  in the
brake fluid reservoir, see page 211
. If the level  in the reservoir is below  MIN , the vehicle should be  transported to an
authorized Volvo workshop  to have the brake system checked.
If the brake and  ABS  symbols come on at the same time, there may be  a  fault in the brake force distribution system.
1. Stop the vehicle in a  safe place and  turn off the engine.
2. Restart the engine.
 If both symbols extinguish, continue  driving.
 If the symbols remain on, check the level  in the brake fluid reservoir. See  page 211. If the brake fluid level  is
normal but the symbols are still  lit, the vehicle can be  driven, with great care, to an  authorized Volvo workshop  to
have the brake system checked.
 If the level  in the reservoir is below  MIN , the vehicle should be  transported to an  authorized Volvo workshop  to
have the brake system checked.
 WARNING 
 If the fluid level  is below  the MIN  mark in the reservoir or if a  warning message is displayed in the text window:
DO  NOT DRIVE. Have the vehicle towed  to a  trained and  qualified Volvo service technician and  have the brake
system inspected.
 If the ABS  and  Brake system lights are on at the same time, there is a  risk of reduced vehicle stability.
