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.

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

Instrument lightingDifferent display and instrument lighting isswitched on depending on key position; seeKey positions - functions at different levels (p.70). The display lighting is automatically subdued in darkness - the sensitivity is set with thethumbwheel. The intensity of the instrument lighting is adjusted with the thumbwheel.
Headlamp levellingThe load in the car changes the vertical align-ment of the headlamp beam, which coulddazzle oncoming motorists. Avoid this byadjusting the height of the beam. Lower thebeam if the car is heavily laden. 1. Leave the engine running, or have the
car's electrical system in key position I.
2. Roll the thumbwheel up/down to raise/ lower beam alignment.

WARNING
This system help to save energy - it cannot determine in all situations when daylight istoo weak or sufficiently strong, e.g. in mistand rain. The driver is always responsible for ensur- ing that the car is driven with its lights in acorrect state and in accordance with appli-cable traffic regulations.
Tunnel detection*
In markets without automatic dipped beam, tunnel detection activates dipped beam whendriving into a tunnel. Dipped beam is deacti-vated approx. 20 seconds after the car hasbeen driven out of the tunnel. The tunnel detection function is available in cars with rain sensor*. The sensor detects theentrance to a tunnel and resets the lightingfrom daytime running lights to dipped beam.Approx. 20 seconds after the car has left thetunnel, the lighting returns to daytime runninglights. If the car is driven into another tunnelwithin this time period then dipped beam iskept switched on. This avoids repeatedchanges to the car's light settings. Note that the headlamp control's knob must remain in
position for tunnel detection
to work.
