Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
If the warning lamp lights up there is a malfunction of the ABS
system (the standard braking system will however function) and the
vehicle should be driven cautiously to a Volvo retailer for inspection.
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) helps to improve vehicle control
(stopping and steering) during severe braking conditions by limiting
brake lockup. When the system "senses" impending lockup, braking
pressure is automatically modulated in order to help prevent lockup,
which could lead to a skid.
The system performs a self-diagnostic test when the engine is started
and when the vehicle first reaches a speed of approximately 12 mph
(20 km/h). The brake pedal will pulsate several times and a sound may
be audible from the ABS control module. This is normal.
To obtain optimal effect from the ABS system, constant pressure
should be kept on the brake pedal. Do not pump the brake pedal.
The switching of the ABS modulator will be audible and the brake pedal
will pulsate during braking. Please be aware that ABS does not increase
the absolute braking potential of the vehicle. While control will be
enhanced, ABS will not shorten stopping distances on slippery surfaces.
ABS with EBD (Electronic Brake Force Distribution)
EBD is an integrated part of the ABS system. EBD regulates the
hydraulic pressure to the rear brakes to help provide optimal braking
capacity. The brake pedal will pulsate during braking, which is normal.
If the BRAKE and ABS warning lights come on at the same
time, this could indicate a fault in the brake system.
Stop the car in a suitable place and switch off the engine.
Restart the engine.
If both warning lights go off, no further action is required.
If both lights are still on after the engine has been restarted, switch off
the engine again and check the brake fluid level (see page 158 for the
location of the brake fluid reservoir).
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
WARNING!
If the fluid level is below the MIN mark in the reservoir, DO NOT
DRIVE. Have the car towed to an authorized Volvo retailer and have
the brake system inspected.
If the brake fluid level is above the MIN mark, drive carefully to an
authorized Volvo retailer and have the brake system inspected.
Emergency Brake Assistance (EBA)
The EBA function is designed to provide full brake effect immediately
in the event of sudden, hard braking. The system is activated by the
speed with which you depress the brake pedal.
When the EBA system is activated, the brake pedal will go down and
pressure in the brake system immediately increases to the maximum
level. You must maintain full pressure on the brake pedal in order to
utilize the system completely. EBA is automatically deactivated when
the brake pedal is released.
When the car has been parked for some time, the brake pedal may sink
more than usual when the engine is started. This is normal and the pedal
will return to its usual position when it is released.
