pg. 7 Warning lights

The warning lights described on this page should never be on

when driving

When the ignition key is turned on, and before the engine starts, all of the warning lights should be on to

test the function of the bulbs. Should a light not go off after the engine has started, the system indicated

should be inspected. (However, the parking brake reminder light will not go off until the parking brake

is fully released.)

D Parking brake reminder light (red)

This light will be on when the parking brake (hand brake) is set. The parking brake lever is situated

between the front seats.

F Brake failure warning light (red)

If the light comes on while driving and the brake pedal can be depressed further than normal, it is an

indication that one of the brake circuits is not functioning. Proceed cautiously to a Volvo dealer for a

check.

H Oil pressure warning light (red)

If the light comes on during driving, the oil pressure is too low. Stop the engine immediately and check

the engine oil level. See page 48.

After hard driving, the light will come on occasionally when the engine is idling. This is normal,

provided it goes off when the engine speed is increased.

I Alternator warning light (red)

If the light comes on while the engine is running, check the tension of the alternator drive belt as soon as

possible. See page 49.

NOTE:

This warning light is illuminated if the alternator is not charging. However, indicator lights D, F, L,

and N will be illuminated at the same time due to the construction of the system.

L EGR service reminder light (red)

If the vehicle is equipped with EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) 15,000 mile service light, as required

by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the light will come on at 15,000 mile intervals. This is a

reminder to take your Volvo to your Volvo dealer to get the EGR valve serviced. The light will stay on

until reset by your Volvo dealer.

N Bulb failure warning light (yellow)

The light will come on if any of the following bulbs are defective:

one of the lower beams

one of the tail lights

one of the license plate lights

one of the brake lights (when the brake pedal is depressed).

Bulb replacement, see pages 60-63.

pg. 8 Ignition switch, parking brake

Ignition switch/steering wheel lock

The steering wheel lock might be under tension when the car is parked. Turn the steering wheel slightly

to free the ignition key.

Parking brake (hand brake)

The lever is situated between the front seats. The brake is applied to the rear wheels.

In order to obtain the best possible performance of the parking brake, the brake linings should be broken

in, see page 39.

Parking brake reminder light

The reminder light PARKING BRAKE on the instrument panel comes on whenever the parking brake

lever is not fully released and the ignition is on.
