Start-up checks

When you select a gear to start driving, the car performs a number of self-checks of important systems and functions. This short test is indicated in the driver information area.

The start-up check is indicated by several warning and indicator symbols in the driver information area. If any of the warning or indicator symbols remain visible after a few seconds, it tells you that there's a fault or condition you need to address before driving.

If a fault is indicated:
  • Read any related information presented in the driver information area.
  • For additional information about warning and indicator symbols, consult that section of the manual.
  • Resolve the indicated fault before driving.
  • If you cannot resolve the issue yourself, do not hesitate to contact an authorised Volvo workshop.

After the start-up check is performed, the car continues to actively monitor many of its systems and functions.
