Low oil pressure
If the light comes on while driving, stop the
vehicle, stop the engine immediately, and
check the engine oil level. Add oil if necessary.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.
Parking brake applied
This symbol illuminates when the parking
brake is applied. This symbol flashes while the
brake is being applied and then glows steadily
when the parking brake has been set.
If the symbol continues to flash after the brake
has been set, this indicates that a fault has
been detected. See the message in the infor-
mation display.
Canadian models are equipped with this
symbol.
See page 122 for more information about
using the parking brake.
Airbags – SRS
If this light comes on while the vehicle is being
driven, or remains on for longer than approxi-
mately 10 seconds after the vehicle has been
started, the SRS system's diagnostic functions
have detected a fault in a seat belt lock or pre-
tensioner, 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.
See page 21 for more information about the
airbag system.

CAUTION
If a crack, scratch or stone chip should
occur in the section of the windshield in
front the laser sensor, contact a trained and
qualified Volvo service technician to repair
or replace the windshield (see the illustra-
tion showing the location of the sensor on
page 149). Failing to do so may result in
reduced City Safety™ functionality.
To help prevent reduced functionality,
please also observe the following:
•Before the windshield is replaced, con-
tact a Volvo retailer to ensure that the
correct windshield is ordered and
installed. If the wrong type of windshield
is used, this may cause City Safety™ to
function improperly or not at all. Volvo
recommends the use of only Genuine
Volvo Replacement Windshields.
•When replacing windshield wipers, use
the same type or ones approved by
Volvo.

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.197
A/C – ON/OFFWhen the indicator light in the
button is on, the air condition-
ing is controlled automati-
cally. This cools/heats and
dehumidifies the incoming air.
When the indicator light in the
button is off, the air condition-
ing is disengaged. Other functions are still con-
trolled automatically. When maximum
defroster is selected, the air conditioning sys-
tem is set for maximum blower speed and
dehumidification.
DefrosterThis function defrosts/de-ices
the windshield and front side
windows. The indicator light
in the defroster button lights
when the function is active.
•Blower speed increases automatically and
the air conditioning will switch on (if not
already on and if the passenger compart-
ment blower is not turned off) to dehumid-
ify the air in the passenger compartment.
Air conditioning can be switched off by
pressing the AC button.
•Recirculation will not function while defrost
is engaged.The climate system will return to its previous
settings when the defroster function is
switched off.
Recirculation/air quality system
Recirculation
This function can be used to
shut out exhaust fumes,
smoke, etc., from the passen-
ger compartment. The air in
the passenger compartment
is then recirculated, i.e., no air
from outside the car is taken
into the car when this function is activated. The
indicator light in the button will illuminate when
recirculation is selected.
If the air in the car recirculates for too long,
there is a risk of condensation forming on the
insides of the windows, especially in winter.
TimerThe timer function minimizes the risk of fog-
ging, or stale air when the recirculation function
is selected by automatically switching off the
function after a certain length of time, depend-
ing on the ambient temperature. Activate/
deactivate the function under Climate
settings
Recirculation timer. See page
185 for a description of the menu system.
NOTE
When Defroster is selected, recirculation is
always deactivated.
Interior Air Quality System–IAQS*This system consists of a multifilter and an air
quality sensor. The filter helps remove gases
and particles from the incoming air, thereby
reducing the amounts of odors and contami-
nants entering the vehicle. The air quality sen-
sor detects increased levels of contaminants in
the outside air. When the air quality sensor
detects contaminated outside air, the air intake
closes and the air inside the passenger com-
partment is recirculated, i.e., no outside air
enters the vehicle. The filter also cleans recir-
culated passenger compartment air. When the
AUTO button is depressed the air quality sen-
sor is always engaged.
Activate or deactivate this function in Climate
settings

WARNING
•When the vehicle is being towed, the
ignition should be in mode II (in mode I,
all of the vehicle's airbags are deacti-
vated). See page 83 for more informa-
tion about ignition modes.
•Never remove the remote key from the
ignition slot when the vehicle is being
towed. For vehicles with keyless drive,
the remote key must remain inside the
vehicle.
•The power brakes and power steering
will not function when the engine is not
running. Approximately 5 times more
pressure will be required on the brake
pedal and the steering wheel will be
considerably harder to turn.
•The towing eyelets must not be used for
pulling the vehicle out of a ditch or for
any similar purpose involving severe
strain. Do not use the towing eyelets to
pull the vehicle up onto a flat bed tow
truck.
Towing the vehicle
1. With the remote key fully pressed into the
ignition slot1, press START/STOP
ENGINE for approximately 2 seconds to
activate ignition mode II.
2. The remote key must remain in the ignition
slot
2 for the entire time that the vehicle is
being towed.
3. Keep the tow rope taut when the towing
vehicle slows down by applying light pres-
sure on the brake pedal. This will help pre-
vent jarring movements of the vehicle
being towed.
4. Be prepared to apply the brakes to stop the
vehicle being towed.
CAUTION
General towing precautions:
•Please check with state and local
authorities before attempting this type
of towing, as vehicles being towed are
subject to regulations regarding maxi-
mum towing speed, length and type of
towing device, lighting, etc.
•If the vehicle's battery is dead, attach
jumper cables (see page 114) to provide
current for releasing the electric parking
brake and to move the gear selector
from the P position to N. If this is not
possible, see page 118 for information
about manually overriding the shiftlock
system to move the gear selector from
P to N.
•Maximum speed: 50 mph (80 km/h). Do
not exceed the maximum allowable
towing speed.
•Maximum distance with front wheels on
ground: 50 miles (80 km).
•The vehicle should only be towed in the
forward direction.
1Not necessary in vehicles with the optional keyless drive.2For vehicles with the the optional keyless dirive, the remote key must be in the vehicle.
