Volvo V60 Cross Country Warning Lights: What They Mean

Red: stop or act now

Alarm indicator

Flashing once every two seconds means the alarm is armed; quick flashing means the alarm was triggered. Off means disarmed. PDF page 268

Other warnings and indicators

SRS warning light

With the OWS indicator staying on, a fault was detected in the occupant weight sensor system; the passenger front airbag will not deploy in a collision.
What to do: Have the SRS system and Occupant Weight Sensor inspected by a trained, qualified Volvo service technician as soon as possible. PDF page 62

Low tire pressure telltale

One or more tires are significantly under-inflated.
What to do: Stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. PDF page 542

TPMS malfunction indicator

Tire pressure system is not working properly; it flashes about a minute, then stays lit, and may not detect low pressure.
What to do: Check the telltale after replacing tires or wheels to confirm they allow the TPMS to work properly. PDF page 542

OWS indicator light

Lit when the passenger seat is empty or holds a low-weight occupant or object, so the passenger front airbag is disabled. It is off when the airbag is enabled.
What to do: Do not assume the airbag is off unless PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF is lit. If in doubt, move the child restraint to the rear seat. PDF page 62

Summarized in our own words from the 2021 Volvo V60 Cross Country owner's manual (AI-assisted; every light name was matched against its cited page 2026-10-18). Your vehicle may not have every light, and other years can differ. A red warning that stays on usually means stop safely and check: your manual has the final word.
