Default Owen's 1998 S70 dash symbol question

Hey, I don't know the protocol here. I do have a question. An orange symbol appeared on the dash with a green triangle with a stylised dog shape or odd letter 'A' in the middle. It's not listed in the owners manual. So I'm stumped. The car runs great. I live on an island with no dealer nearby. Any ideas? Thanks.

I don't know if that's the CEL. Where on the dash is it? The check engine light literally says "check engine" on it. So unless is says check engine on it, than it's not the CEL.

Well the plot thickens, then there is light-a light bulb in my brain anyway. I filled with fuel yesterday and noticed the gas cap was not screwed in completely. The light on the dash (which is next to the ABS lights) remains on. But I got to thinking this particular car was built in Belguim and sold new in Vancouver Canada. Maybe this odd symbol is present because its a European built S70. And I got a North American owners manual with the car. So perhaps it is a fuel preasure warning light ie. CEL after all. I'm still not sure............ thanks folks for bearing with me. Owen
