93 850 GLT...new owner questions

Post by presd »

Hi all...new car! Have only driven it a few days and can't figure out a few things (no owners manual). New to Volvo cars, but love love love it!!

1. Red light on dash just to right of temperature? sometimes it's on, sometimes off, what does this signify?

2. Seems to have trouble getting the moonroof totally closed .. is there a trick to this?

Thanks for any input!

Little red light comes on when the temperature is below about 2

Phew..well that's a big nothing to worry about! Wonder why they put that in when the temp is right next to it?? Seems a bit obvious doesn't it?

And hey! Thanks for the owner's manual...I tried searching for one and couldn't locate it!! Excellent!!
