Service reminder
indicator

This light will come on at 7,500 mile (12,000

km) intervals, after 750 hours of driving or

after 12 months, whichever occurs first. It is a

reminder to the driver that the service interval

has been exceeded. The light will stay on for 2

minutes after start until reset by the servicing

retailer.

Bulb failure warning
light

The light will come on if any of the following

bulbs are defective:

one of the low beam headlights

one of the tail lights

one of the brake lights when the brake

pedal is depressed.

Check the fuse and bulb. See sections

“Replacing bulbs” and “fuses.

Should the warning light come on after a

defective outside bulb has been replaced, the

corresponding bulb on the other side of the car

should also be replaced.

Fault in ETC (Electronic
Throttle Control
system)

If this lamp comes on, there is a fault in the

engine control system and driveability will be

affected. Switch the ignition off and then on

again. If the light remains on, the system

should be inspected by an authorized Volvo

retailer.

Warning lights

STC disengaged

The indicator light (

) in the instrument

panel will be ON when you have switched the

Stability and Traction Control system (STC)

OFF using the button on the dashboard (see

page 23). The light will also come on if there

is a fault in the STC system or to indicate that

the brakes have overheated. The light will go

out when the brake temperature returns to

normal.
The

indicator light will flash when STC is

actively regulating power to the drive wheels.

Normal power may be reduced at this time.

This is normal as power is momentarily

reduced to help keep the drive wheels from

losing traction and spinning.

Anti-lock Brake system
(ABS)

If the warning lamp lights up there is a

malfunction of the ABS system (the standard

braking system will however function). The

vehicle should be driven to a Volvo retailer for

inspection.

See page 74 for additional information.
Canadian models are equipped with this

warning light:

Coolant level sensor

If this light comes on while driving, the

coolant level is low. The coolant level in the

expansion tank should be checked

immediately and topped up if necessary. The

cooling system should be inspected by an

authorized Volvo retailer.

Mode “W” engaged

The lamp will light up when the Winter/Wet

starting mode is engaged or if gears “3” or “L”

are selected.
If the warning lamp begins to flash, this means

that there is a fault in the automatic gearbox.

Contact Your Volvo retailer.

Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS)

If the light comes on (or stays on after the

vehicle has started), the SRS diagnostic system

has detected a fault. Drive to an authorized

Volvo retailer for an inspection of the system.

See the SRS section for more information.

Generator warning light

If the light comes on while the engine is

running, have the charging system checked.
