ABL fault
The symbol illuminates if a fault has arisen in the ABL function (Active Bending Lights).
Emissions system
If the symbol illuminates after the engine has been started then it may be due to a fault in the car's emissions system. Drive to a workshop for checking. Volvo recommends that you seek assistance from an authorised Volvo workshop.
ABS fault
If this symbol illuminates then the system is not working. The car's regular brake system continues to work, but without the ABS function.
Rear fog lamp on
This symbol illuminates when the rear fog lamp is switched on.
Stability system
A flashing symbol indicates that the stability system is operating. If the symbol illuminates with constant glow then there is a fault in the system.
Stability system, sport mode
Sport mode allows for a more active driving experience. The system then detects whether the accelerator pedal, steering wheel movements and cornering are more active than in normal driving and then allows controlled skidding of the rear section up to a certain level before it intervenes and stabilises the car. The symbol illuminates when the sport mode is activated.
Engine preheater (diesel)
This symbol illuminates during engine preheating. Preheating takes place mostly due to low temperature.
Low level in fuel tank
When the symbol illuminates the level in the fuel tank is low, refuel as soon as possible.
Information, read display text
When one of the car's systems does not behave as intended, this information symbol illuminates and a text appears on the information display. The message text is cleared with the OK button, see Menu navigation - combined instrument panel, or it disappears automatically after a time (time depending on which function is indicated). The information symbol can also illuminate in conjunction with other symbols.
Note
Main beam On
The symbol illuminates when main beam is on and with main beam flash.
Left/right-hand direction indicator
Both direction indicator symbols flash when the hazard warning flashers are used.
Start/Stop
The symbol shines when the engine is auto-stopped.
Tyre pressure system
The symbol illuminates in the event of low tyre pressure, or if a fault arises in the tyre pressure system.
Reminder – doors not closed
If one of the doors is not closed properly then the information or warning symbol illuminates together with an explanatory image in the information display. Stop the car in a safe place as soon as possible and close the door that is open.
If the car is driven at a speed lower than approx. 7 km/h (approx. 4 mph) then the information symbol illuminates.
If the car is driven at a speed higher than approx. 7 km/h (approx. 4 mph) then the warning symbol illuminates.
If the bonnet2 is not closed properly then the warning symbol illuminates together with an explanatory image in the information display. Stop the car in a safe place as soon as possible and close the bonnet.
If the tailgate is not closed properly then the information symbol illuminates together with an explanatory image in the information display. Stop the car in a safe place as soon as possible and close the tailgate.
