Tyre pressure system
When one of the car's systems
does not behave as intended,
this information symbol illumi-
nates and a text appears on the
driver display. The information
symbol can also illuminate in
conjunction with other symbols.
Position lamps
The symbol illuminates when tyre
pressure is too low. If there is a
fault in the tyre pressure system,
the symbol will flash for approx. 1
minute and then illuminate with a
constant glow. This may be
because the system cannot
detect or warn of low tyre pres-
sure as intended.
The symbol lights up when the
position lamps are switched on.
Fault in the headlamp system
The symbol illuminates if a fault
has occurred in the ABL function
(Active Bending Lights) or if
another fault has occurred in the
headlamp system.
Fault in brake system
The symbol lights up when there
is a fault in the parking brake.
Emissions system
Active main beam on
ABS fault
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 an authorised
Volvo workshop is contacted.
The symbol lights up blue when
active main beam is on.
If this symbol illuminates then
the system is not working. The
car's regular brake system con-
tinues to work, but without the
ABS function.
