WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2007 Volvo V70, 2006 Volvo V70, 2005 Volvo V70, 2004 Volvo V70, and 2003 Volvo V70. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
In the lower left section of the combined instrument panel (driver information module) (5/1) there is a small window where text messages are displayed. This gives the driver supplementary information for the different warning symbols in order to reduce the number of different symbols in the combined instrument panel. Other types of messages are also displayed, such as the functions of the trip odometer. There is an order of priority where warning signals are displayed first.
Depending on the circumstances, a request for these messages may come from the central electronic module (4/56) or the steering wheel module (3/130). The signals are transmitted via the Control Area Network (CAN).
