Engine temperatureEngine overheating can result from low oil or coolant levels, towing or hard driving at highheat and altitude, or mechanical malfunction.Engine overheating will be signaled with textand a red warning triangle in the middle of theinstrument display. The exact text will dependon the degree of overheating. It may range from
High engine temp Reduce speed toHigh engine temp Stop engine. If appropri-
ate, other messages, such as Coolant level
low, Stop safely will also be displayed. If
your engine does overheat so that you must stop the engine, always allow the engine tocool before attempting to check oil and cool-ant levels. See Engine compartment – coolant (p. 288) for more information.
Fault in brake systemIf this symbol lights, the brake fluid level may be too low. Stop the vehicle in a safe placeand check the level in the brake fluid reser-voir, see Engine compartment – brake fluid(p. 289). If the level in the reservoir is belowMIN , the vehicle should be transported to an
authorized Volvo workshop to have the brakesystem checked. If the
and symbols come on
at the same time, there may be a fault in the brake force distribution system.
1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place and turn off the engine.
2. Restart the engine.
• If both symbols extinguish, continue driv- ing.
• If the symbols remain on, check the levelin the brake fluid reservoir, see Enginecompartment – brake fluid (p. 289). If thebrake fluid level is normal but the sym-bols are still lit, the vehicle can be driven,with great care, to an authorized Volvoworkshop to have the brake systemchecked.
• If the level in the reservoir is below
MIN,
the vehicle should be transported to anauthorized Volvo workshop to have thebrake system checked.WARNING
• If the fluid level is below the
MIN mark
in the reservoir or if a warning mes- sage is displayed in the text window:DO NOT DRIVE . Have the vehicle
towed to a trained and qualified Volvoservice technician and have the brakesystem inspected.
• If the
and symbols
are on at the same time, there is a risk of reduced vehicle stability.
Warning symbolThe red warning symbol lights up to indicate a problem related to safety and/or drivability.A message will also appear in the instrumentpanel. The symbol remains visible until thefault has been rectified but the text messagecan be cleared with the OK button, see Infor-
mation display – menu controls (p. 96). Thewarning symbol can also come on in conjunc-tion with other symbols. Action:

Active high beams (AHB)*
AHB uses a camera at the upper edge of the windshield to detect the headlights of oncom-ing vehicles or the taillights of a vehicledirectly ahead. When this happens, the head-lights will automatically switch from highbeams to low beams. When the camera nolonger detects the headlights/taillights ofother vehicles, your headlights will switchback to high beams after several seconds. 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.
