Indicator and information symbols
Fault in
the Active Bending Light
(ABL) system
This symbol will illuminate if the there is a fault in the ABL system. See page 93 for more information about this system.
Malfunction Indicator Light
As you drive, a computer called On-Board Diagnostics II (OBDII) monitors your vehicle's engine, transmission, electrical and emission systems.
The malfunction indicator (CHECK ENGINE) light will illuminate if the computer senses a condition that potentially may need correcting.
When this happens, please have your vehicle checked by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician as soon as possible.
A malfunction indicator (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 controls, and drivability.
Extended driving without correcting the cause could even damage other components in your vehicle.
This light may illuminate if the fuel filler cap is not closed tightly or if the engine was running while the vehicle was refueled.
Canadian

symbol.

Brake System (ABS)
warning light
If the warning light comes on, there may be a malfunction in the ABS system (the standard braking system will still function). Check the system by:
1. Stopping in a safe place and switching off the ignition.
2. Restart the engine.
3. If the warning light goes off, no further action is required.
If the warning light remains on, the vehicle should be driven to a trained and qualified Volvo service technician for inspection, see page 119 for additional information.
