First of all don't panic. A check engine light indicates that a code has been set.

The owners manual won't help you. You need to buy an OBDII compliant code reader and read the codes yourself from the car's OBDII port in the center arm rest, or take the car to an indie volvo shop to have the codes read.

This is the only way to find out what's malfunctioning and needs repairs. If the car is driving fine the you have some time.
