The tranny dipstick, yellow plastic, is on the driver's side under the fresh air intake. Not an easything to spot.
Check the level when the fluid is HOT, usually 10-15mins of driving. The dipstick has a hot and cold side measure and needs to be at the top mark or just slightly above.
If your car has a 5 speed, you will Mobile ATF 3309 fluid, a 4 speed can use Dexron/Mercon. Check the back of the owner's manual.
If the fluid is not reddish in color, then you need to flush it. Either DIY (30 minuutes) or have a Volvo shop do it for you.

Your PNP switch may be going bad. Check if you have back up lights. It is not good driving the car in limp home mode.
