pg. 7 Warning lights
The warning lights described on this page should never be 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.)
D Parking brake reminder light (red)
This light will be on when the parking brake (hand brake) is set. The parking brake lever is situated
between the front seats.
F Brake failure warning light (red)
If the light comes on while driving and the brake pedal can be depressed further than normal, it is an
indication that one of the brake circuits is not functioning. Proceed cautiously to a Volvo dealer for a
check.
H Oil pressure warning light (red)
If the light comes on during driving, the oil pressure is too low. Stop the engine immediately and check
the engine oil level. See page 48.
After hard driving, the light will come on occasionally when the engine is idling. This is normal,
provided it goes off when the engine speed is increased.
I Alternator warning light (red)
If the light comes on while the engine is running, check the tension of the alternator drive belt as soon as
possible. See page 49.
NOTE:
This warning light is illuminated if the alternator is not charging. However, indicator lights D, F, L,
and N will be illuminated at the same time due to the construction of the system.

L EGR service reminder light (red)
If the vehicle is equipped with EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) 15,000 mile service light, as required
by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the light will come on at 15,000 mile intervals. This is a
reminder to take your Volvo to your Volvo dealer to get the EGR valve serviced. The light will stay on
until reset by your Volvo dealer.
N Bulb failure warning light (yellow)
The light will come on if any of the following bulbs are defective:
one of the lower beams
one of the tail lights
one of the license plate lights
one of the brake lights (when the brake pedal is depressed).
Bulb replacement, see pages 60-63.
pg. 8 Ignition switch, parking brake
Ignition switch/steering wheel lock
The steering wheel lock might be under tension when the car is parked. Turn the steering wheel slightly
to free the ignition key.

Parking brake (hand brake)
The lever is situated between the front seats. The brake is applied to the rear wheels.
In order to obtain the best possible performance of the parking brake, the brake linings should be broken
in, see page 39.
Parking brake reminder light
The reminder light PARKING BRAKE on the instrument panel comes on whenever the parking brake
lever is not fully released and the ignition is on.
