ABL faultThe symbol illuminates if a fault has arisen in the ABL function (Active Bending Lights).
Emissions systemIf the symbol illuminates after the engine hasbeen started then it may be due to a fault inthe car's emissions system. Drive to a work-shop for checking. Volvo recommends thatyou seek assistance from an authorised Volvoworkshop.
ABS faultIf this symbol illuminates then the system isnot working. The car's regular brake systemcontinues to work, but without the ABS func-tion.
1. Stop the car in a safe place and turn off
the engine. 2. Restart the engine.
3. If the symbol remains illuminated, drive to
a workshop to have the ABS system checked. Volvo recommends that youseek assistance from an authorised Volvoworkshop.
Rear fog lamp onThis symbol illuminates when the rear foglamp is switched on.
Stability systemA flashing symbol indicates that the stabilitysystem is operating. If the symbol illuminateswith constant glow then there is a fault in thesystem.
Stability system, sport modeSport mode allows for a more active drivingexperience. The system then detects whetherthe accelerator pedal, steering wheel move-ments and cornering are more active than innormal driving and then allows controlledskidding of the rear section up to a certainlevel before it intervenes and stabilises thecar.
Engine preheater (diesel)This symbol illuminates during engine pre-heating. Preheating mostly takes place due tolow temperature.
Low level in fuel tankWhen the symbol illuminates the level in thefuel tank is low, refuel as soon as possible.
