3 Temperature gauge

The pointer should be approximately midway on the gauge when driving.

Do not drive the car if the warning light is on. The text window will provide you with additional information.

If the engine temperature remains high, check coolant level - see page 110.

4 Trip odometer/reset button

The trip odometer is used for measuring shorter distances. The last digit indicates 1/10 mile/kilometer. Press the button quickly to toggle between trip odometers 1 and 2. Hold in the button for more than 2 seconds to reset.

5 Odometer

6 Speedometer

7 General warning light (see page 24).

8 High beam indicator light

9 Tachometer

Indicates engine speed in thousands of rpm. Do not drive for long with the needle in the red section. The engine has an built-in function preventing too high an engine speed. When this function operates, you may discern some pulsation, which in that case is quite normal.

10 Gear and driving mode indicator

The currently selected driving mode is displayed here. If you use the geartronic function on the automatic transmission, the currently selected gear will be displayed.

11 Ambient temperature indicator

This sensor indicates the air temperature outside your car. A "snowflake" symbol in the text window is displayed when the temperature is in the range of 23 - 36° F (-5 - +2° C).

Please note that this symbol does not indicate a fault with your car.

At low speeds or when the car is not moving, the temperature readings may be slightly higher than the actual ambient temperature.

12 Clock/reset button

Turn the button to adjust the clock.

13 Fuel gauge

The fuel tank holds approximately 21.1 US gal. (80 liters).

When the warning light comes on there is approximately 1.8 US gal. (8 liters) of fuel remaining.

The indicator and warning lights described on pages 24 and 25 should never stay on when driving

When the ignition key is turned, all of the warning lights in the lower right-hand side of the instrument panel should go on to test the function of the bulbs. If a light does not go off after the engine has started, the
system indicated should be inspected.

NOTE: The parking brake reminder light will not go off until the parking brake has been fully released.

Warning lamp in the center of the instrument panel This lamp lights up red or orange depending on the severity of the fault that has been detected.

Orange light: Follow the instructions shown in the text window.

Red light: Stop the car as soon as possible in a suitable location and read the message shown in the text window.

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)

If the light comes on (or stays on after the vehicle has started), the SRS diagnostic system has detected a fault. Drive to an authorized Volvo retailer for an inspection of the system. See the SRS section for more information.

Oil pressure warning light

If the light comes on while driving, stop the car and then stop the engine immediately and check the engine oil level. See page 114. If the light stays on after restart, have the car towed to the nearest authorized Volvo retailer. After hard driving, the light may come on occasionally when the engine is idling. This is normal, provided it goes off when the engine speed is increased.

NOTE: If the fuel filler cap is not closed tightly or if the engine is running when the car is refueled, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp may indicate a fault. However, your vehicle's performance will not be affected. Use only Volvo original or approved fuel filler caps.

Anti-lock Brake System ABS

If the warning light comes on, there is a malfunction of the ABS system (the standard braking system pwill however function). The vehicle should be driven to a Volvo retailer for inspection. See page 17 for additional information.

Stability Traction Control (STC) system (option)

Dynamic Stability and Traction Control (DSTC) system (option)

An LED in the STC or DSTC switch in the center console will light up to indicate that the system is activated. See page 18 for further information.

Service reminder indicator

This light will come on at 7,500 mile (12,000 km) intervals, after 750 hours of driving or after 12 months, whichever occurs first, to remind the driver that the service interval has been exceeded. The light will stay on for 2 minutes after start until reset by the servicing retailer.

Turn signal indicator - trailer (certain models)

If you are towing a trailer, this light will flash simultaneously with the turn signals on the trailer. If the light does not flash when signaling, neither the trailer's turn signals nor the car's turn signals are functioning.
