Engine temperature
Engine overheating can result from low oil or coolant levels, towing or hard driving at high heatand altitude, or mechanical malfunction. Engineoverheating will be signaled with text and a redwarning triangle in the middle of the instrumentdisplay. The exact text will depend on the degree of overheating. It may range from
High engine
temp Reduce speed to High engine temp
Stop engine. If appropriate, 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 allowthe engine to cool before attempting to check oiland coolant levels. See Engine compartment – coolant (p. 333) for more information.
Fault in brake system
If this symbol lights, the brake fluid level may be too low. Stop the vehicle in a safe place andcheck the level in the brake fluid reservoir, seeEngine compartment – brake fluid (p. 334). If the level in the reservoir is below MIN, the vehicle
should be transported to an authorized Volvo workshop to have the brake system 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 driving.
• If the symbols remain on, check the level inthe brake fluid reservoir, see Engine com-partment – brake fluid (p. 334). If the brakefluid level is normal but the symbols are stilllit, the vehicle can be driven, with great care,to an authorized Volvo workshop to have thebrake system checked.
• If the level in the reservoir is below
MIN, the
vehicle should be transported to an author-ized Volvo workshop to have the brake sys-tem checked.
WARNING
• If the fluid level is below the
MIN mark in
the reservoir or if a warning message is displayed in the text window: DO NOT
DRIVE . Have the vehicle towed to a
trained and qualified Volvo service techni- cian and have the brake system inspec-ted.
• If the
and symbols are
on at the same time, there is a risk of reduced vehicle stability.

CLIMATE
120
Climate – general information
The vehicle is equipped with Electronic Climate
Control (ECC) (p. 125) that cools, heats or dehumidifies the air in the passenger compart-ment.
Air conditioning
NOTE
• The air conditioning can be switched off, but to ensure the best possible climatecomfort in the passenger compartmentand to prevent the windows from misting,it should always be on.
• In warm weather, a small amount of watermay accumulate under the car when ithas been parked. This water is condensa-tion from the A/C system and is normal.
Side windows and moonroofTo ensure that the air conditioning works opti- mally, the side windows, and the optional moon-roof should be closed.
Fog on the inside of the windowsThe defroster function (p. 128) should be usedto remove fog or mist from the inside of the win-dows. Keeping the windows clean with a com-mercially available window washing spray will alsohelp prevent fogging or misting.
Vents in the parcel shelf
NOTE
The air vents at the rear of the parcel shelf should never be obstructed.
Temporary shut-off of the air conditioning
The air conditioning (p. 128) is momentarily dis- engaged during full acceleration or when drivinguphill with a trailer. This may result in a temporaryincrease in cabin temperature.
Ice and snowAlways keep the air intake grille at the base ofthe windshield free of snow.
Climate system maintenanceSpecial tools and equipment are required tomaintain and carry out repairs on the climate sys-tem. Work of this type should only be done by atrained and qualified Volvo service technician.
RefrigerantVolvo cares about the environment. The air condi-tioning system in your car contains a CFC-freerefrigerant – R134a. This substance will notdeplete the ozone layer. The air conditioning sys-tem contains 1.76 lbs (800 g) of R134a. Thesystems uses PAG oil.
