Volvo XC60 Plug-in Hybrid warning lights: 15 symbols to check first

In the Volvo XC60 Plug-in Hybrid, the first decision is the warning color. Volvo Support explains that red symbols are the most critical, amber symbols are less urgent but still need attention, and other colors usually show system status.

This guide uses the official Volvo XC60 Plug-in Hybrid 2026 manual evidence and the Volvo Support warning-symbol page checked on September 10, 2026. Exact symbols can vary by model year, market, software, and options, so always compare the dashboard message with your own car's manual.

15 Volvo XC60 warning symbols to check first

Priority	Symbol	Meaning	What to do
Critical		A fault affecting safety or the ability to drive	Read the message and decide whether to stop safely.
Brake		Brake-system fault detected	Take immediate action and contact an authorized Volvo workshop.
Electrical		Electrical-system fault	Treat it as urgent in a plug-in hybrid and arrange service.
SRS		Airbag or related safety-system fault	Do not delay an official service check.
Collision		Risk of collision ahead	Prepare to brake and steer manually.
Temperature		Engine temperature is too high	Reduce load and find a safe place to stop.
Oil pressure		Engine oil pressure is too low	Avoid further driving until the message is checked.
Information		A vehicle system needs attention	Read the paired dashboard notification.
Brake check		Brake-system fault detected	Book service, especially if braking feels unusual.
ABS		Anti-lock braking is unavailable	Brake gently and avoid slippery-road surprises.
Emissions		Emission-control fault	Arrange service if it stays on.
Lane aid		Lane keeping aid fault	Drive manually and inspect sensors if it repeats.
Tire pressure		Low pressure or pressure-monitoring fault	Set cold pressures and check TPMS if flashing repeats.
Stability		Stability control intervention or fault	Slow down; if steady, plan service.
Performance		Vehicle performance is reduced	Avoid overtaking and check battery or engine messages.

For red brake, electrical-system, SRS, engine-temperature, and oil-pressure warnings, use a conservative driving decision. For amber ABS, tire-pressure, stability, emissions, and lane-aid alerts, continue only if the car message says it is safe and arrange service when the warning persists.
