meaning of warning symbols

The warning symbols alert the driver that an

important function is activated, or that a seri-

instrument panel

Parking brake applied, ana-

logue instrument panel

Airbags – SRS

Fault in brake system

Warning

Certain engine variants do not have systems to warn of oil

pressure loss. In cars with these variants the symbol for

low oil pressure is not used. Warning for low oil level is via

display text. For more information, see Engine oil - general

(p. 362).

Low oil pressure

If this symbol illuminates during driving then

the engine's oil pressure is too low. Stop the

engine immediately and check the engine oil

level, top up if necessary. If the symbol illumi-

nates and the oil level is normal, contact a

workshop. Volvo recommends that you seek

assistance from an authorised Volvo work-

shop.

Parking brake applied

This symbol illuminates with a constant glow

when the parking brake is applied. The sym-

bol flashes during application, and then

changes over to a constant glow.
A flashing symbol in any other situation

means that a fault has arisen. Read the mes-

sage on the information display.
For more information, see Parking brake

(p. 295).

Airbags – SRS

If this symbol remains illuminated or illumi-

nates while driving, it means a fault has been

detected in the seatbelt buckle, SRS, SIPS, or

IC systems. Drive immediately to a workshop

to have the system checked. Volvo recom-

mends that you seek assistance from an

authorised Volvo workshop.

Seatbelt reminder

This symbol flashes if someone in a front seat

has not put on their seatbelt or if someone in

a rear seat has taken off their seatbelt.

Only cars with alarm*.

Alternator not charging

This symbol illuminates during driving if a

fault has occurred in the electrical system.

Visit a workshop. Volvo recommends that you

seek assistance from an authorised Volvo

workshop.

Fault in brake system

If this symbol illuminates, the brake fluid level

may be too low. Stop the car in a safe place

and check the level in the brake fluid reser-

voir; see Brake and clutch fluid - level

(p. 367).
If the brake and ABS symbols illuminate at

the same time, there may be a fault in the

brake force distribution system.
1. Stop the car in a safe place and turn off

the engine.

2. Restart the engine.

•

If both symbols extinguish, continue

driving.

•

If the symbols remain illuminated,

check the level in the brake fluid reser-

voir; see Brake and clutch fluid - level

(p. 367). If the brake fluid level is nor-

mal but the symbols are still illumi-

nated, the car can be driven, with great

care, to a workshop to have the brake

system checked. Volvo recommends

that you seek assistance from an

authorised Volvo workshop.

WARNING

If the brake fluid is under the MIN level in

the brake fluid reservoir, do not drive fur-

ther before topping up the brake fluid.
The loss of brake fluid must be investiga-

ted by a workshop. Volvo recommends

that you contact an authorised Volvo

workshop.

WARNING

If the BRAKE and ABS symbols are lit at

the same time, there is a risk that the rear

end will skid during heavy braking.

Warning

The red warning symbol illuminates when a

fault has been indicated which could affect

the safety and/or driveability of the car. An

explanatory text is shown on the information

display at the same time. The symbol remains

visible until the fault has been rectified but the

text message can be cleared with the OK

button; see Menu navigation - combined

instrument panel (p. 113). The warning sym-

bol can also illuminate in conjunction with

other symbols.
Action:
1. Stop in a safe place. Do not drive the car

further.

2. Read the information on the information

display. Implement the action in accord-

ance with the message in the display.

Clear the message using the OK button.

Volvo Sensus

Volvo Sensus is the heart of the personal

Volvo experience and connects you with the

car and outside world. Sensus provides infor-

mation, entertainment and assistance when it

is needed. Sensus consists of intuitive func-

tions that both enhance the car journey and

simplifies ownership of the car.

An intuitive navigation structure makes it pos-

sible to receive relevant support, information

and entertainment when it is necessary, with-

out distracting the driver.
Sensus covers all the car's solutions that

enable connection* to the outside world and

provides you with intuitive control over all the

car's capabilities.
Volvo Sensus combines and presents many

functions in several of the car's systems on

the centre console's display screen. With

Volvo Sensus the car can be personalised by

means of an intuitive user interface. Settings

can be made in Car settings, Audio and

media, Climate control, etc.
With the centre console buttons and controls

or the steering wheel's right-hand keypad*

functions can be activated or deactivated and

many different settings can be made.
With a press on MY CAR all settings related

to the driving and control of the car are pre-

sented, such as City Safety, locks and alarm,

automatic fan speed, setting the clock, etc.
With a press on the respective function
RADIO, MEDIA, TEL, *, NAV* and CAM*
other sources, systems and functions can be

activated, e.g. AM, FM, CD, DVD*, TV*,

Key positions - functions at different

levels

To enable the use of a limited number of

functions with the engine switched off, the

car's electrical system can be set in 3 differ-

ent levels - 0, I and II - with the remote con-

trol key. This owner's manual describes these

levels throughout using the denomination

"key positions".

The following table shows the functions avail-

able in each key position/level.

Level Functions

•

Odometer, clock and tem-

perature gauge are illumi-

nated.

•

Electrically operated seats

can be adjusted.

•

The audio system can be

used for a limited time - see

the Sensus Infotainment sup-

plement.

•

Sunroof, power windows, 12

V socket in the passenger

compartment, navigation,

phone, ventilation fan and

windscreen wipers can be

used.

Level Functions

•

The headlamps come on.

•

Warning/indicator lamps illu-

minate for 5 seconds.

•

Several other systems are

activated. However, electric

heating in seat cushions and

the rear window can only be

activated after starting the

engine.

This key position consumes a

lot of current from the starter

battery and should therefore be

avoided!
