Emergency brake assistance – EBA
In case of sudden braking, full-strength brak-
ing is provided instantaneously. The EBA
function senses when heavy braking is un-
derway by registering how quickly the brake
pedal is depressed. Continue braking without
easing off on the brake pedal. The function is
suspended when the pressure on the brake
pedal eases. This function is always active
and cannot be disengaged.
WARNING
If the BRAKE and ABS warning symbols are
lit at the same time, a fault may have oc-
curred in the brake system. If the level in the
brake fluid reservoir is normal, drive careful-
ly to the nearest authorised Volvo workshop
to have the brake system checked.
If the brake fluid is under the MIN level in
the brake fluid reservoir, do not drive further
before topping up the brake fluid.
The reason for the loss of brake fluid must
be investigated.
NOTE
When EBA is activated the brake pedal low-
ers slightly more than usual, depress (hold)
the brake pedal as long as necessary. If the
brake pedal is released then all braking
ceases.
