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.
