If the light comes on while driving or braking,
stop immediately, open the hood and check the
brake fluid level in the reservoir. See
page 172
for reservoir position and
page 175 for instructions.
Canadian models are equipped with
this warning light:
If the BRAKE and ABS warning lights come
on at the same time, this could indicate a
fault in the brake system.

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.
CHECK ENGINE Malfunction indicator light
On-Board Diagnostic II (OBDII): As you drive, a computer called "OBDII" monitors your car's engine, transmission, electrical and emission systems. The CHECK ENGINE light will light up if the computer senses a condition that potentially may need correcting. When this happens, please have your car checked by a Volvo retailer as soon as possible.
A CHECK ENGINE light may have many causes. Sometimes, you may not notice a change in your car's behavior. Even so, an uncorrected condition could hurt fuel economy, emission cleanliness, and driveability. Extended driving without correcting the cause could even damage other components in your car.
Canadian models are equipped with this
warning light: 
Cars equipped with STC or DSTC (option) Cars equipped with STC or DSTC have a switch in the center console marked STC or DSTC. See pages 37, 38.
If the indicator light flashes, it indicates
that the STC or DSTC system is
working.
The indicator light stays on when the STC or DSTC system has been switched off with the appropriate button in the center console.
Fault in the STC or DSTC system
If the indicator light remains on, there is a fault
in one of the systems.

When a warning light in the instrument panel
comes on, a message is also displayed in the
text window. After you have read the message,
you can erase it by pressing button A (see illustration).
NOTE: Certain messages cannot be erased until the condition has been corrected. If a warning message is displayed when e. g. you are using the trip computer or would like to use the telephone, this message must be erased before you can access the function of your choice.
