Trip odometer reset knob
Push in to reset.
Temperature gauge
The pointer should be approximately midway on the gauge face when driving. If the pointer enters the red range repeatedly, check coolant level and fan belt tension. See sections "Coolant" and "Drive belts"
WARNING!
Allow engine to cool before adding coolant.
Fuel gauge
The fuel tank capacity is approx. 15.8 US gals (60 liters).
The red range represents approx. 2.1 US gals. (8 liters).
Instrument panel lamps rheostat
Clockwise - brighter.
Counterclockwise - dimmer.
Voltmeter (turbo-engine cars only)
The voltmeter indicates the voltage in the electrical system and thereby also the state of the battery. While the car is being driven the pointer should be within the black field.
Should the pointer point to the upper or lower red field when driving, this may indicate some fault in the electrical system.
Boost pressure gauge (turbo engine cars only)
The boost pressure gauge is divided three into sections.
Black section: The engine acts as a normally-aspirated engine. Best fuel economy is achieved while driving in this range.
Yellow section: The turbo is engaged.
Red section: The pressure in the intake manifold is too high. Drive the car carefully to a Volvo dealer for inspection.
The warning light for boost pressure illuminates when the gauge pointer moves into the red section.

the warning lights illuminate. If the oil level is adequate, the oil level light will go off after two seconds. If the oil level is low, the light will stay on until the engine is started. If low, check level with dipstick and add oil as required.
Note! If you turn the ignition key too far and start the engine, no indication of the oil level will be given. Moreover, if you switch the engine off after a few seconds and then check the oil level as indicated, the result you obtain will be incorrect because a certain amount of oil will have been pumped out of the oil pan.
pg. 9 Warning lights
The warning lights described on this page should never be on when driving
When the ignition key is turned on, and before the engine starts, all of the warning lights should be on to test the function of the bulbs. Should a light not go off after the engine has started, the system indicated should be inspected. (However, the parking reminder light will not go off until the parking brake is fully released.)
Alternator warning light 
If the light comes on while the engine is running, check the tension of the alternator drive belt as soon as possible.
NOTE: This warning light is illuminated if the alternator is not charging. However, parking brake, brake failure, Lambda-sondTM system service reminder and bulb failure warning lights will be illuminated at the same time due in the design of the system.
Brake failure warning light 
If the light comes on while driving and the brake pedal can be depressed further than normal, it is an indication that one of the brake circuits is not functioning.
Stop immediately, open hood and check brake fluid level (see section "Brake fluid, power steering"). Fluid level below MIN mark: do NOT drive. Tow car to shop for check/repair of brake system.
Fluid level between MIN and MAX mark: proceed immediately and with caution to a Volvo dealer for an inspection of the brake system.
Oil pressure Warning light 
If the light comes on during driving, the oil pressure is too low. Stop the car and then stop the engine immediately and check the engine oil level. See section titled "Engine oil".
After hard driving, the light will come on occasionally when the engine is idling. This is normal, provided it goes off when the engine speed is increased.

Parking brake reminder light 
This light will be on when the parking brake (hand brake) is applied. The parking brake lever is situated between the front seats.
Bulb failure warning light
The light will come on if any of the following bulbs are defective:
-one of the low beam headlights
-one of the tail lights
-one of the brake lights (when the brake pedal is depressed). Check the fuse and bulb.
See sections titled "Replacing bulbs" and "Fuses".
Should the warning light come on after a defective outside bulb has been replaced, the corresponding bulb on the other side of the car should also be replaced.
pg. 10 Instruments
Lambda-sondTM (oxygen sensor system) service reminder light (red) (760 GLE only) 
As required by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency this light will come on at 30,000 mile (50,000 km) intervals. It is a reminder to have the oxygen sensor system serviced. The light will stay on until reset by servicing dealer.
Reminder light, Lambda-sondTM (oxygen sensor system) service 760 Turbo
On the B230F-Turbo engine, the oxygen sensor (Lambda-sondTM) is electrically heated. The use of a PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) element to heat the Lambda-sond ensures a shorter warm up time and continuous operation at its working temperature.
This type of Lambda-sondTM does not require periodic replacement and therefore the LambdasondTM reminder light is not connected.
Lambda-sondTM is a trademark of Volvo of America Corporation.

Shift indicator light (Manual transmission only)
The Volvo shift indicator light (S.I.L.) is a device designed to help you get even better gas mileage from your Volvo car. Studies have shown that the best fuel economy is obtained by shifting gears at low engine rpm and high relative engine load. The Volvo S.I.L. is calibrated to show you when to shift for improved mileage without sacrificing smooth acceleration.
Use of the S.I.L. is simple. Shift to the next higher gear as soon as the light comes on. You may find after using the S.I.L. for some time that your natural shifting rhythm will adapt to the S.I.L's suggestion. Some drivers may even shift before the light comes on.
Programming instructions for shift indicator
If the current supply to the control unit is cut (battery disconnected), the control unit will have to be reprogrammed as the control unit memory will be erased.
Drive the car in each gear (first gear not necessary) for approximately 8 seconds.
The gear change indicator light with flicker on (0.5 seconds), as each gear is programmed.
Note: Remove foot completely from the clutch pedal after each gear change when programming the control unit.

Cruise control
The cruise control switches are located on the turn signal switch lever.
To engage and set desired speed:
1.Set switch (1) to ON.
2.Accelerate to desired cruise speed.
NOTE: The cruise control cannot be engaged at speeds below 22 mph (35 km). 3. Depress SET SPEED switch (2).
Operating brake pedal or clutch pedal (where applicable)
This will automatically disengage the cruise control. Previously selected cruise speed is retained in the memory and by momentarily setting the switch to RESUME position that speed will be re-engaged.
NOTE: The vehicle will accelerate very quickly should there be a substantial speed differential when
file:///K|/ownersdocs/1985/1985_760_GLE_Turbo/85760_01.htm (12 of 24)12/30/2006 7:48:12 AM
1985 Volvo 760 GLE, Turbo
the switch is reset to RESUME. It is therefore recommended that the vehicle be accelerated manually and the switch reset to RESUME when the speed differential is reduced.
Acceleration
Momentary acceleration, such as for passing, does not interrupt cruise control operation. The previously selected speed will be maintained without having to set switch to RESUME.
To disengage the cruise control system: set switch (1) to position OFF, or
depress brake pedal, or
depress clutch pedal (where applicable).
Switching off the starting (ignition) switch will automatically disengage the cruise control system.
WARNING!
The cruise control should not be used in heavy traffic or when driving on wet or slippery roads.
If the gear shift is moved to Neutral while the cruise control is engaged, then depress the brake pedal momentarily, or set the cruise control switch (1) to OFF. This will disengage the cruise control and prevent overreving the engine.

Additional information and tips
●The air conditioning compressor is engaged only if the temperature is above 46°F (+8°C).
●In all three air conditioning positions the fan runs at speed 1 if the switch is at "0". This is a safety measure to prevent formation of ice in the system.
●When outside air isn't fresh
When the outside air is contaminated with exhaust gases, smoke, etc. (as when driving through a tunnel), move the lever to 
for a few minutes. In this position very little air is drawn in to the passenger compartment from outside. Do not, however, leave the lever in this position for more that 10-15 minutes, since hardly any fresh air is being supplied.
Regulate the temperature with the temperature control lever.

Automatic control at air distribution
Air to floor and panel louvers. Automatic control of fan speed. Air supplied from panel louvers is slightly colder than air released at foot level.
Note! Apart from the 
position, the fan only operates when the temperature of the engine coolant is above 95°F (+35°C) or the passenger compartment temperature is above 64°F(+18°C.)
How to select
The easiest way to obtain a comfortable passenger compartment climate is to select auto and set the temperature dial to the desired temperature. The system itself will do the rest.

Operating instructions are contained in a separate manual. This manual is placed in the car when the equipment is installed.
Your Volvo dealer will be able to assist you with any questions regarding the operation of this equipment.
Radio antenna
NOTE: Always lower the antenna when entering automatic car wash.
The following information may help to explain differences between car radio reception and radio reception in the home.
Signal sending
FM waves do not follow the earth surface and do not "bounce" against the atmosphere.
Cross modulation
When listening to a weak station and in the vicinity of another strong signal, both stations may be received.
Weak reception (fading)
Because of the limited range of FM signals and the way FM waves spread, this problem can occur with

1 Light always on.
2 Light always off.
3 Light is on when either of the front or the rear doors are opened.
A time-delay device keeps the interior light illuminated for approx. 12 seconds after closing the driver's door. This facilitates finding starting (ignition) switch, etc., at night.
Electrically-operated sun roof
The switch for operating the sun roof is located on the instrument panel. The starting (ignition) key must first be turned to the drive position.

To open the sun roof as a sliding roof, depress the top portion of the switch. To raise the rear edge of the sun roof, depress the bottom portion of the switch.
To close the sun roof, depress the side of the rocker switch opposite the side used to open the roof.
