Volvo vehicles provide drivers with plenty of information on their digital instrument display. Various lights in warnings can come on if your vehicle is experiencing issues. Before you schedule service, get a sense of what the symbols mean with this handy blog below from Volvo Cars Santa Monica.
Common Warning Lights
- Low oil pressure light – If your Volvo vehicle experiences a sudden drop in oil pressure, the low oil pressure light will come on. This is an important issue to have addressed, as a drop in oil pressure can severely damage your engine. This symbol looks like an oil can with oil dripping from the spout. Schedule a service appointment to get this issue addressed promptly.
Fault in Brake System light
- If you see an exclamation point in a circle with two lines on the left and right side, this is the Fault in Brake System light. This light only comes on if a serious issue with your brake system is detected. If your car's brake fluid levels are low, this light is likely to come on. Don't hesitate to schedule a service appointment at our dealership to have this addressed.
Check Engine light
- If you see a symbol that looks like an internal combustion engine, this is the check engine light. The check engine light can go on for a variety of reasons, ranging from easy fixes to serious issues. Regardless, don't wait to schedule a service appointment to have this resolved.
Airbag SRS light
- The Airbag SRS light will come on if there is an issue with your airbag system. It looks like a person sitting with a seatbelt on, and an airbag inflated in front of them. Have this issue resolved as soon as possible, so if you get in an accident, you know that your airbags will be there to help.
Alternator not Charging light
- If your Volvo car has a faulty alternator, a light with a battery on it will appear. You will want to schedule service immediately to make sure your car does not die at an inopportune time.
