Ok, please don't laugh.
I purchased a 2010 S80 a couple of days ago and the hazard button is backlit red. It's not flashing, nor are the hazard lights on. Is this button supposed to be lit or should it be dark until engaged?

Thanks for your help.

 

hmm well i have a 2006 S80 and as far as i can tell the button stays red all the time when you start the car but will blink only when u press it. So ya i guess what you are saying is a normal thing. ( i hope)

 

Yes, it should be lit up red, this is typical on most European cars.
