Certain engines do not use this symbol to indicate low oil pres-
sure. On these models, a text message will be displayed on the
instrument panel instead, see Engine compartment – engine oil
(p. 331).
B
The symbol is Park only on models with the optional digital
instrument panel.
Low oil pressure
If the light comes on while driving, stop the vehi-
cle, stop the engine immediately, and check the
engine oil level. Add oil if necessary. If the oil
level is normal and the light stays on after restart,
have the vehicle towed to the nearest trained and
qualified Volvo service technician.
Parking brake applied
This symbol flashes while the brake is being
applied and then glows steadily when the parking
brake has been set.
See Parking brake – general information (p. 273)
for more information about using the parking
brake.
Airbags – SRS
If this light comes on while the vehicle is being
driven, or remains on for longer than approxi-
mately 10 seconds after the vehicle has been
started, the SRS system's diagnostic functions
have detected a fault in a seat belt lock or pre-
tensioner, a front airbag, side impact airbag,
and/or an inflatable curtain. Have the system(s)
inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo service
technician as soon as possible.
See Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
(p. 31) for more information about the airbag sys-
tem.
Seat belt reminder
This symbol comes on for approximately 6 sec-
onds if the driver has not fastened his or her seat
belt.
Generator not charging
This symbol comes on during driving if a fault has
occurred in the electrical system. Contact an
authorized Volvo workshop.
