Re: Warning light on volvo v40, red outlined triangle,...
It is a lambda sign. It is the same thing as a check engine light. It means the car has registered and stored a diagnostic trouble code for some system. The codes will need to be read.

The book says there should be an explanation displayed on the screen beneath it. Whatever that says, you should have it looked at soon as possible. The red triangle coming on means that the problem is critical to the safety of you and your passengers. Do not drive it like that. If you have AAA, this is a good time to use it.

Next to the service engine light, orange with green triangle and upside down Y. Does anyone have the manual/know what this means?Missing: red square
Hey Mary!
Does the symbol look like an upside down y?
If so it is the lambda sign (the elleventh character of the greek alphabet), meaning that there is something fishy going on with the emissions part of the cars engine management.
Try to disconnect the battery over night and see if it goes away.
If not you could bring the car by the local Volvo garage and have them read fault codes and reset them for you, usually without cost.
I'm thinking that it might somehow have been triggered by the towing, and that it will go away when reset. I would therefore advice you not to do any repairs before you've tried having the codes cleared and driving around for a while to see if the light reappears.
Good luck!
I think that this is the Lamda warning light which is an indication that the fuel / air mixture is not correct or the Lamda sensor mounted on the manifold is defective.
1998 volvo s40 right hand drive: there is an orange triangle light with green in the center and an upside "y" in the center of the two. It is between the "up orange arrow" and "a an orange car with an X on it" the light comes and stays on. Dont know what it means. can you help. Thanks
