Fault in the Active Bending Light
(ABL) system
This symbol will illuminate if there is a fault in the ABL system. See page 101 for moreinformation about this system.
Malfunction Indicator Light
As you drive, a computer called On-Board Diagnostics II (OBDII) monitors your vehicle'sengine, transmission, electrical and emissionsystems. The malfunction indicator light will illuminate if the computer senses a condition that poten-tially may need correcting. When this hap-pens, please have your vehicle checked by atrained and qualified Volvo service technicianas soon as possible. A malfunction indicator light may have many causes. Sometimes, you may not notice a

change in your car's behavior. Even so, an uncorrected condition could hurt fuel econ-omy, emission controls, and drivability.Extended driving without correcting the causecould even damage other components inyour vehicle. This light may illuminate if the fuel filler cap is not closed tightly or if the engine was runningwhile the vehicle was refueled.
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
If the warning light comes on, there may be a malfunction in the ABS system (the standardbraking system will still function). Check thesystem by:
1. Stopping in a safe place and switching off
the ignition.
2. Restart the engine.
3. If the warning light goes off, no further action is required.
If the indicator light remains on, the vehicle should be driven to a trained and qualifiedVolvo service technician for inspection, seepage 139 for additional information.
Rear fog lights
This symbol indicates that the rear fog lights are on.
Stability system
This indicator symbol flashes when the DSTC (Dynamic Stability and Traction Control sys-tem) is actively working to stabilize the vehi-cle, see page 148 for more detailed informa-tion.
Sport mode
This symbol illuminates to indicate that the stability system's Sport mode has been acti-
vated to help provide maximum tractive force,for example when driving with snow chains,or driving in deep snow or loose sand.
Low fuel level
When this light comes on, the vehicle should be refueled as soon as possible. See page292 for information about fuel and refueling.
Information symbol
The information symbol lights up and a text message is displayed to provide the driverwith necessary information about one of thevehicle's systems. The message can beerased and the symbol can be turned off bypressing the OK button (see page 213 for
information) or this will take place automati-cally after a short time (the length of time var-ies, depending on the function affected). The information symbol may also illuminate together with other symbols.
High beam indicator
This symbol illuminates when the high beam headlights are on, or if the high beam flashfunction is used.
Left turn signal indicator
Right turn signal indicator
NOTE
• Both turn signal indicators will flash when the hazard warning flashers areused.
• If either of these indicators flash fasterthan normal, the direction indicatorsare not functioning properly.
Tire pressure monitoring system
(TPMS)*
This symbol illuminates to indicate that tire pressure in one or more tires is low, seepage 332 for detailed information.

Pull the lever toward the steering wheel to position 2 and release it to togglebetween low and high beams.
High beam flashPull the lever toward the steering wheel to position 1. The high beams come on until thelever is released.
Active high beams – AHB*AHB is a feature that uses a camera at theupper edge of the windshield to detect theheadlights of oncoming vehicles or the tail-lights of a vehicle directly ahead. When thishappens, the headlights will automaticallyswitch from high beams to low beams. Whenthe camera no longer detects the headlights/taillights of other vehicles, your headlights willswitch back to high beams after several sec-onds. To activate AHB:
• Turn the headlight control to the
position.
The feature will begin functioning if the engine has been running for at least 20 seconds andthe vehicle's speed is at least 12 mph(20 km/h).
Headlight switch in the AUTO position
Switch AHB on or off by pulling the left steer- ing wheel lever rearward (toward the steeringwheel) as far as possible and releasing it. IfAHB is switched off while the high beams areon, the headlights will change to low beams.

Models with an analog instrument panel When AHB is activated, the
symbol
will illuminate in the instrument panel. The high beam indicator (
) in the instrument
panel will also illuminate when the high beams are on. Models with a digital instrument panel When AHB is activated,
will illuminate
as a white symbol in the instrument panel.
When the high beams are on, the symbol will change to blue.
NOTE
•Keep the windshield in front of the camera free of ice, snow, dirt, etc.
• Do not mount or in any way attachanything on the windshield that couldobstruct the camera.
If Active high beam Temporary
unavailable Switch manually is displayed in
the instrument panel, switching between high and low beams will have to be done man-ually. However, the light switch can remain inthe AUTO position. The same applies if
Windscreen Sensors blocked is displayed
and the
symbol is displayed. The
symbol will go out when these mes-
sages are displayed. AHB may be temporarily unavailable (e.g., in heavy fog or rain). When AHB becomes activeagain or if the sensors in the windshield areno longer obscured, the messages will disap- pear and the
symbol will illuminate.
CAUTION
In the following situations, it may be nec- essary to switch between high and lowbeams manually:
• In heavy fog or rain
• In blowing snow or slush
• In bright moonlight
• In freezing rain
• In areas with dim street lighting
• When oncoming vehicles have dim front lighting
• If there are pedestrians on or near theroad
• If there are reflective objects, such assigns, near the road
• When oncoming vehicles' lights areobscured by e.g., fences, bushes, etc.
• When there are vehicles on connectingroads
• At the top of hills or in dips in the road
• In sharp curves
See page179 for more information about the camera's limitations.

Tunnel detection (models with the rain sensor* only)
The rain sensor reacts to the change in light- ing conditions when, for example, the vehicleenters a tunnel and the tunnel detection fea-ture will then activate the low beam head-lights. The low beams will be switched offapprox. 20 seconds after the vehicle leavesthe tunnel. The rain sensor does not have to be activated for tunnel detection to function.
Active Bending Lights (ABL)*
Headlight pattern with the Active Bending Light function deactivated (left) and activated (right)
When this function is activated, the headlight beams adjust laterally to help light up a curve according to movements of the steeringwheel (see the right-pointing beam in theillustration). ABL is activated automatically

when the
engine is started. The function can be deactivated/reactivated in the MY CAR menu system under

Bending Lights.
See page 215 for a description of the menu system.
NOTE
This function is only active in twilight or dark conditions, and only when the vehicleis in motion.
If a fault should occur in the system, the sym- bol will illuminate and a message will be dis-played as shown in the table.

Cornering lightsModels equipped with ABL also have front cornering lights that temporarily provide extralight to the front left or right of the vehicle atlow speeds when making a sharp turn (forexample, when turning into a parking space)or when the turn signals are used. This feature is activated when: • High or low beam headlights are on
and
• The vehicle's speed is below 20 mph (30 km/h)
The feature is also activated when the vehicle is backing up.

The rear fog lights will only function in combi- nation with the high/low beam headlights.
–Press the button to switch the rear fog lights on/off.
> The rear fog light indicator symbol
on the instrument panel and the
light in the button illuminate when the rear fog lights are switched on.
NOTE
The rear fog lights are considerably brighter than the normal taillights andshould be used only when conditions suchas fog, rain, snow, smoke or dust reducevisibility for other vehicles to less than500 ft. (150 meters).
NOTE
Condensation may form temporarily on the inside of the lenses of exterior lights suchas headlights, fog lights, or taillights. Thisis normal and the lights are designed towithstand moisture. Normally, condensa-tion will dissipate after the lights have beenon for a short time.
Hazard warning flashers
Location of the hazard warning flasher button
The hazard warning flasher should be used to indicate that the vehicle has become a traffichazard.
