SAFETY

Occupant safety Safety is Volvo's cornerstone.
Volvo's concern for safetyOur concern for safety dates back to 1927 when the first Volvo rolled off the production line.Three-point seat belts (a Volvo invention), safetycages, and energy-absorbing impact zones weredesigned into Volvo vehicles long before it wasfashionable or required by government regulation. We will not compromise our commitment to safety. We continue to seek out new safety fea-tures and to refine those already in our vehicles.You can help. We would appreciate hearing yoursuggestions about improving automobile safety.We also want to know if you ever have a safetyconcern with your vehicle. Call us in the U.S. at:1-800-458-1552 or in Canada at:1-800-663-8255.

Malfunction Indicator Light
As you drive, a computer called On-Board Diag- nostics II (OBDII) monitors your vehicle's engine,transmission, electrical and emission systems. The malfunction indicator light will illuminate if the computer senses a condition that potentiallymay need correcting. When this happens, pleasehave your vehicle checked by a trained and quali-fied Volvo service technician as soon as possible. A malfunction indicator light may have many cau- ses. Sometimes, you may not notice a change inyour car's behavior. Even so, an uncorrected con-dition could hurt fuel economy, emission controls,and drivability. Extended driving without correct-ing the cause could even damage other compo-nents in your vehicle. This light may illuminate if the fuel filler cap is not closed tightly or if the engine was running whilethe 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 the sys-tem 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 qualified Volvoservice technician for inspection, see Brakes –general (p. 267) for additional information.
Rear fog lights
This symbol indicates that the rear fog lights are on.
Stability system
This indicator symbol flashes when the stability system is actively working to stabilize the vehicle,see Stability system – introduction (p. 166) formore detailed information.
Stability system - Sport mode
This symbol illuminates to indicate that the stabil- ity system's
Sport mode has been activated to
help provide maximum tractive force, for example when driving with snow chains, or driving in deepsnow or loose sand.
Low fuel level
When this light comes on, the vehicle should be refueled as soon as possible. See Refueling –fuel requirements (p. 277) for information aboutfuel and refueling.
Information symbol
The information symbol lights up and a text mes- sage is displayed to provide the driver with nec-essary information about one of the vehicle's sys-tems. The message can be erased and the sym- bol can be turned off by pressing the OK button
(see Information display – menu controls (p. 108) for information) or this will take place automatically after a short time (the length oftime varies, 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 flash func-tion is used.
Left turn signal indicator Right turn signal indicator
NOTE
•
Both turn signal indicators will flash when the hazard warning flashers are used.
• If either of these indicators flash fasterthan normal, the direction indicators arenot functioning properly.
Tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
*
This symbol illuminates to indicate that tire pres- sure in one or more tires is low, see Tire PressureMonitoring System (TPMS) – general information(p. 310) for detailed information.

Active high beams (AHB) *
AHB uses a camera at the upper edge of the windshield to detect the headlights of oncomingvehicles or the taillights of a vehicle directlyahead. When this happens, the headlights willautomatically switch from high beams to lowbeams. When the camera no longer detects theheadlights/taillights of other vehicles, your head-lights will switch back to high beams after sev-eral seconds.
To activate AHB:
• Turn the headlight control to the
posi-
tion.
The feature will begin functioning if the engine has been running for at least 20 seconds and thevehicle'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 steering wheel lever rearward (toward the steering wheel)as far as possible and releasing it. If AHB isswitched off while the high beams are on, theheadlights 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 cam- era free of ice, snow, dirt, etc.
• Do not mount or in any way attach any-thing 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 manually. However, the light switch can remain in the
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 are nolonger obscured, the messages will disappear and the
symbol will illuminate.
CAUTION
In the following situations, it may be neces- sary to switch between high and low beamsmanually:
• In heavy fog or rain
• In blowing snow or slush
