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. 342) 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. 343). 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. 343). 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.
Warning symbol
The red warning symbol lights up to indicate a problem related to safety and/or drivability. Amessage will also appear in the instrument panel.The symbol remains visible until the fault hasbeen rectified but the text message can be cleared with the OK button, see Information dis-
play – menu controls (p. 116). The warning sym- bol can also come on in conjunction with othersymbols. Action:
1. Stop in a safe place. Do not drive the vehicle further.
2. Read the information on the display. Imple- ment the action in accordance with the mes- sage in the display. Clear the message using OK.

Digital compass *
The rear-view mirror has an integrated display that shows the compass direction in which thevehicle is traveling.
Operation
Rearview mirror with compass.
Eight different directions are shown with the abbreviations: N (north), NE (north east), E (east),SE (southeast), S (south), SW (southwest), W(west) and NW (northwest).
The compass is displayed automatically when the vehicle is started or in ignition mode II. To switch
the compass on/off use a pen, paperclip or simi- lar object and press in the button on the under-side of the mirror.
CalibrationNorth America is divided into 15 magnetic zonesand the compass will need to be calibrated if thevehicle is driven into a new one (see the mag-netic zones on the map in the following section"Selecting a magnetic zone"). To do so:
1. Stop the vehicle in a large open area, safely out of traffic and away from steel structures and high-tension electrical wires.
2. Start the vehicle.
NOTE
• For best calibration results, switch off all electrical equipment in the vehicle (climatesystem, windshield wipers, audio system,etc.) and make sure that all doors areclosed.
• Calibration may not succeed or be incor-rect if the vehicle's electrical equipment isnot switched off.
3. Using a pen, paperclip or similar object, press
and hold the button on the underside of mir- ror for approx. 6 seconds until
C is displayed
in the mirror.
4. Press and hold the button for 3 seconds until the number of the current magnetic zone is displayed. 5. Press the button repeatedly until the number
of the desired magnetic zone (
1-15) is dis-
played. See the magnetic zones on the map in the following section "Selecting a mag-netic zone").
6. Wait until
C is again displayed in the mirror.
7. Drive slowly in a circle at a speed of no more than 6 mph (10 km/h) until a direction is dis- played. This indicates that calibration is com-plete.
8. Drive around in a circle an additional two times to fine-tune the calibration.
9. Vehicles with an electrically heated wind- shield: * if
C is displayed when the heating
function is activated, perform step 7 with the heating function on. See also Max. defroster and electrically heated windshield * (p. 135)
for additional information about the heated windshield.
Repeat the calibration procedure if necessary.
