pg. 2:4 Warning lights
The warning lights described on pages 2:4 and 2:5 should never stay 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.
Generator warning light
If the light comes on while the engine is running, have the charging system checked.
Malfunction indicator lamp
If the lamp comes on (or stays on after the vehicle has started), the engine diagnostic system has
detected a possible fault in the emission control system. Although driveability may not be affected, see
an authorized Volvo retailer as soon as possible for inspection.
