Eco guide & Power guide*
Eco guide and Power guide are two com- bined instrument panel (p. 59) instrumentswhich help the driver to drive the car withoptimum driving economy. The car also stores statistics of journeys made, which can be viewed in the form of ablock diagram; see Trip computer - trip statis-tics* (p. 113).
Eco guideThis instrument provides an indication of howeconomically the car is being driven. To view this function, select the theme "Eco"; see Digital combined instrument panel - over-view (p. 60).
Instantaneous value
Average value Instantaneous value The instantaneous value is shown here - the higher the reading on the scale, the better. The instantaneous value is calculated based on speed, engine speed, engine power uti-lised plus use of the foot brake. Optimum speed (50-80 km/h) and low engine speeds are encouraged. The pointers fall dur-ing acceleration and braking. Very low instantaneous values illuminate the red zone on the meter (with a short delay),which means poor driving economy andhence should be avoided. Average value The average value slowly follows the instanta- neous value and describes how the car hasbeen driven most recently. The higher thepointers on the scale, the better the economyachieved by the driver.
Power guideThis instrument shows the relationshipbetween how much power (Power) is beingtaken from the engine and how much poweris available. To view this function, select the theme "Performance"; see Digital combined instru-ment panel - overview (p. 60).
Available engine power
Engine power utilised
Available engine power The smaller, upper pointer shows the availa- ble engine power 9
. The higher the reading on
the scale, the more power is available in the current gear. Engine power utilised The larger, lower pointer shows the engine power utilised 9
. The higher the reading on the
scale, the more power is being taken from the engine. A large gap between the two pointers indi- cates a large power reserve.
9 Power is dependent on engine speed.

Tyre pressure system*, see Tyre pressure monitoring* (p.330)
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.

engine immediately and check the engine oil level, top up if necessary. If the symbol illumi-nates and the oil level is normal, contact aworkshop. Volvo recommends that you seekassistance from an authorised Volvo work-shop.
Parking brake appliedThis symbol illuminates with a constant glowwhen the parking brake is applied. The sym-bol flashes during application, and thenchanges over to a constant glow. A flashing symbol in any other situation means that a fault has arisen. Read the mes-sage on the information display. For more information, see Parking brake (p. 293).
Airbags – SRSIf this symbol remains illuminated or illumi-nates while driving, it means a fault has beendetected in the seatbelt buckle, SRS, SIPS, orIC systems. Drive immediately to a workshopto have the system checked. Volvo recom-mends that you seek assistance from anauthorised Volvo workshop.
Seatbelt reminderThis symbol flashes if someone in a front seathas not put on their seatbelt or if someone ina rear seat has taken off their seatbelt.
Alternator not chargingThis symbol illuminates during driving if afault has occurred in the electrical system.Visit a workshop. Volvo recommends that youseek assistance from an authorised Volvoworkshop.
Fault in brake systemIf this symbol illuminates, the brake fluid levelmay be too low. Stop the car in a safe placeand check the level in the brake fluid reser-voir; see Brake and clutch fluid - level (p.350). If the brake and ABS symbols illuminate at the same time, there may be a fault in thebrake force distribution system.
1. Stop the car in a safe place and turn offthe engine.
2. Restart the engine.
•If both symbols extinguish, continue driving.
• If the symbols remain illuminated,check the level in the brake fluid reser-voir, see Brake and clutch fluid - level(p. 350). If the brake fluid level is nor-mal but the symbols are still illumi-nated, the car can be driven, with greatcare, to a workshop to have the brakesystem checked. Volvo recommendsthat you seek assistance from anauthorised Volvo workshop.
WARNING
If the brake fluid is under the
MIN level in
the brake fluid reservoir, do not drive fur- ther before topping up the brake fluid. The loss of brake fluid must be investiga- ted by a workshop. Volvo recommendsthat you contact an authorised Volvoworkshop.
WARNING
If the BRAKE and ABS symbols are lit at the same time, there is a risk that the rearend will skid during heavy braking.
WarningThe red warning symbol illuminates when a fault has been indicated which could affectthe safety and/or driveability of the car. Anexplanatory text is shown on the informationdisplay at the same time. The symbol remainsvisible until the fault has been rectified but thetext message can be cleared with the OK
button; see Menu navigation - combinedinstrument panel (p. 100). The warning sym-bol can also illuminate in conjunction withother symbols. Action:
1. Stop in a safe place. Do not drive the car further.
