To read messages on your Volvo V40, such as warnings, service reminders, or system alerts, follow these steps:
-
Look at the dashboard display:
Messages will appear on the instrument cluster display or information display on the dashboard. These messages can include reminders for service, warnings about engine or system issues, or notifications related to features like tire pressure monitoring or low fuel. -
Use the stalk control (right-hand stalk):
To scroll through and view stored messages, locate the right-hand stalk behind the steering wheel. On the end of the stalk, you should see a button labeled "READ" or with an icon resembling a document. -
Press the "READ" button:
Press the "READ" button on the stalk to cycle through the available messages. Each time you press the button, a new message will appear on the display if there are multiple alerts. -
Review the message details:
Once the message is displayed, take note of the information provided. It may include suggestions for action (like "Service Required" or "Check Engine"), or it may simply be a notification that can be acknowledged and cleared. -
Clear the message (if applicable):
After reading the message, if no further action is required, you can press the "READ" button again to clear the message from the display. Certain messages, like warning lights, may not clear until the underlying issue has been resolved.
Your Volvo V40 Service & Repair Manual can provide more details about what specific messages mean and how to address any issues that arise, giving you the guidance you need to maintain your car’s systems properly.
