Fault in the Active Bending Light (ABL) system
This symbol will illuminate if there is a fault in the ABL system. See Active Bending Lights (ABL)* for more information about this system.
Malfunction Indicator Light
As you drive, a computer called On-Board Diagnostics 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 potentially may need correcting. When this happens, please have your vehicle checked by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician as soon as possible.
A malfunction indicator light may have many causes. Sometimes, you may not notice a change in your car's behavior. Even so, an uncorrected condition could hurt fuel economy, emission controls, and drivability. Extended driving without correcting the cause could even damage other components in your vehicle.
This light may illuminate if the fuel filler cap is not closed tightly or if the engine was running while 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 standard braking system will still function). Check the system by:
If the indicator light remains on, the vehicle should be driven to a trained and qualified Volvo service technician for inspection, see Brakes – general for additional information.
Rear fog lights

Stability system
This indicator symbol flashes when the stability system is actively working to stabilize the vehicle, see Stability system – introduction for more detailed information.
Stability system - Sport mode
This symbol illuminates to indicate that the stability system's Sport mode has been activated to help provide maximum tractive force, for example when driving with snow chains, or driving in deep snow or loose sand.
Low fuel level
When this light comes on, the vehicle should be refueled as soon as possible. See Refueling – fuel requirements for information about fuel and refueling.
Information symbol
The information symbol lights up and a text message is displayed to provide the driver with necessary information about one of the vehicle's systems. The message can be erased and the symbol can be turned off by pressing the OK button (see Information display – menu controls for information) or this will take place automatically after a short time (the length of time 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 function 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 faster than normal, the direction indicators are not functioning properly.
Tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)*
This symbol illuminates to indicate that tire pressure in one or more tires is low, see Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) – general information for detailed information.
Eco* function on
The symbol will illuminate when the Eco function is activated.
Start/stop*
The symbol illuminates when the engine has auto-stopped.
