Malfunction Indicator LightAs 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 achange in your car's behavior. Even so, anuncorrected 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:

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. 316) 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. 317). 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. 317). 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.
