Default Low coolant warning

Hm? My wife has been in the hospital since January 20th with cancer. Tomorrow I pick her up from rehab to bring her home and I am not in the mood for any odd Volvo stuff. Sadly I have to take the V60 because she can't walk and the wheelchair matches up with the V60 better than the Honda CRV.

I had to hit the brakes kind of hard and all of the sudden the low coolant light comes one. What? This 2016 V60 car has about 34,000 miles on it. I've had this issue on other Volvo's but they had higher mileage.

Looks like the coolant could be a tad under the min line but I'd have to drive to a flat spot for an exact check. This is the car I'll be taking her to chemo infusion and I am just not in the mood. If you look back I've had other issues one should not have on a low mileage car. Errrrr!!!!!

What should I be looking for with this issue???

The good point of the day is that my wife will finally be back in our house. After over 41 years of living with the same woman, I don't know anything else. I've been living the life of a vagabond, staying at friends houses because I just can't be in our house without my wife. To everything (turn, turn, turn) There is a season (turn, turn, turn) And a time to every purpose.

well for starters I would top off the coolant. Second you need to find the leak. When I had a slow leak in my car, it was the radiator where the plastic meats the aluminum. Radiator isnt hard to replace, you can drop it right out the bottom of the car. But you need to find the leak.
