I was redoing my high-beam indicator light and had the cluster out; decided to see what other idiot lights were in the cluster. Most of them were easy to suss out, like the glow-plug one, but toward the center there's one that has the numeral 5 and that's it.

Would that have been a countdown for the diesel, a warning for how many miles you could go on your nearly empty tank, or what?

So 5 .

Or maybe a Volvo koan, or better still, the ANSWER to a Volvo koan, like, "What is the sound two Volvos clapping?"

Or how many times a dealer adds a markup to a part before he sells it to you, or...something.

Or a secret Scandinavian joke, where just saying "five" to a Swedisher makes them break up.

5

Anyone actually know?
