Here is what the owner's manual says on page 1:5 about a flashing arrow--
Mode "W" engaged
The lamp will light up when the Winter starting mode is engaged or if gears "3" or "L" are selected. If the warning lamp begins to flash, this means that there is a fault in the automatic gearbox. Contact your Volvo retailer.

I don't know if it applies to you or not (I hope not).

Pull the transmission codes and see what they are.

It should work unless there is a computer problem.
