senger seat if the message in the roof panel

level, top up if necessary. If the symbol illumi-
nates and the oil level is normal, contact a
workshop. Volvo recommends that you seek
assistance from an authorised Volvo work-
shop.

may be too low. Stop the car in a safe place
and check the level in the brake fluid reservoir,
see page 311.
If the brake and ABS symbols illuminate at the
same time, there may be a fault in the brake
force distribution system.

engine.
2. Restart the engine.
•If both symbols extinguish, continue
driving.
•If the symbols remain illuminated, check

a workshop to have the brake system
checked. Volvo recommends that you
seek assistance from an authorised
Volvo workshop.
