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.

Engine oil - general
An approved engine oil must be used in order that the recommended service intervals canbe applied.
Volvo recommends:
When driving under adverse conditions, see Engine oil - adverse driving conditions (p.395).
IMPORTANT
In order to fulfil the requirements for the engine's service intervals all engines arefilled with a specially adapted syntheticengine oil at the factory. The choice of oilhas been made very carefully with regardto service life, starting characteristics, fuelconsumption and environmental impact. An approved engine oil must be used in order that the recommended service inter-vals can be applied. Only use a prescribedgrade of oil for both filling and oil change,otherwise you will risk affecting service life,starting characteristics, fuel consumptionand environmental impact. Volvo Car Corporation disclaims all war- ranty liability if engine oil of the prescribedgrade and viscosity is not used. Volvo recommends that oil changes are carried out at an authorised Volvo work-shop.
Volvo uses different systems for warning of low/high oil level or low/high oil pressure.Certain engine variants have an oil pressuresensor, and then the combined instrumentpanel's warning symbol for low oil pressure isused. Other variants have an oil level sensor,when the driver is informed via the instru- ment's warning symbol
and display

texts. Certain variants have both systems. Contact a Volvo dealer for more information. Change the engine oil and oil filter in accord- ance with the intervals specified in the Serv-ice and Warranty Booklet. Using oil of a higher than specified grade is permitted. If the car is driven in adverse con-ditions, Volvo recommends using an oil of ahigher grade; see Engine oil - adverse drivingconditions (p. 395). For filling capacities, see Engine oil - grade and volume (p. 396).

Engine oil - checking and filling
The oil level is checked on certain engine vari- ants with the electronic oil level sensor, onother engine variants with the oil dipstick.

Dipstick and filler pipe. Checking the oil level in a new car is espe- cially important before the first scheduled oilchange. Volvo recommends checking the oil level every 2 500 km. The most accurate measure-ments are made on a cold engine before star-ting. The measurement will be inaccurate iftaken immediately after the engine isswitched off. The dipstick will indicate thatthe level is too low because the oil has nothad time to flow down into the oil sump.
G021737
The oil level must be between the
MIN and MAX
marks.
Measurement and filling if required1. Ensure that the car is level. After switch-
ing off the engine it is important to wait 5 minutes to allow the oil time to run backto the sump.
2. Pull up and wipe the dipstick.
3. Re-insert the dipstick.
4. Pull it out and check the level.
5. If the level is close to MIN then 0.5 litres
should be added. If the level is signifi- cantly below, then an additional amountis required.
6. If required, check the level again, do it after driving a short distance. Then repeatsteps 1-4.
5Does not apply to the 4-cyl. 2.0 litre or 5-cyl. diesel, which have electronic oil level sensor. However, does apply to the B4204T7 engine.

Engine oil level
The oil level is checked using the electronic oil level gauge with the thumbwheel when theengine is switched off, see Menu navigation -combined instrument panel (p. 100).
WARNING
If the message Oil service required is
shown, visit a workshop. The oil level may be too high.
IMPORTANT
If notified of low oil level, only fill with the volume specified, for example, 0.5 litres.
NOTE
The system cannot directly detect changes when the oil is filled or drained. The carmust have been driven approx. 30 km andhave been stationary for 2 hours with theengine switched off and on level groundbefore oil level indication is correct.
WARNING
Do not spill oil onto the hot exhaust mani- fold due to the risk of fire.

Coolant - level
The coolant cools the internal combustion engine to the correct operating temperature.The heat that is transferred from the engine tothe coolant can be used to heat the passen-ger compartment. The coolant level must lie between the
MIN
and MAX marks on the expansion tank.
Checking the level and topping up
When topping up the coolant, follow the instructions on the packaging. It is importantthat the mixture of coolant concentrate andwater is correct for the prevailing weatherconditions. Never top up with water only. Therisk of freezing increases with both too littleand too much coolant concentrate.

Filling
The fluid reservoir is located on the driver's side.The fluid reservoir is protected under the cover over the cold zone in the engine com-partment. The round cover must be removedfirst before the reservoir cap can be reached.
Turn and open the cover located on the covering.
Unscrew the reservoir cap and fill the fluid. The level must be between the MIN
and MAX marks, which are located on
the inside of the reservoir.
IMPORTANT
Do not forget to refit the cap.
Power steering fluid - level
The power steering fluid level must be between the MIN and MAX marks. The fluid
does not need to be changed. Cars with the 4-cyl. 2.0 litre engine have no oil reservoir for the power steering 9
.
IMPORTANT
Keep the area around the power steering fluid reservoir clean when checking. Thecover must not be opened.
Check the level frequently. The fluid does not require changing. The fluid level must bebetween the MIN and MAX marks. For rec-
ommended fluid grade, see Power steeringfluid - grade (p. 401).
NOTE
If a fault should arise in the power steering system, or if the engine is switched off andmust be towed, then the car can still besteered.
