pg. 70 Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD)
Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD)
EBD is an integrated part of the ABS system. EBD regulates the hydraulic pressure to the rear brakes to
help provide optimal braking capacity.
If the Brake failure warning light
and ABS
warning light come on at the same time, this could
indicate a fault in the brake system. If the brake fluid level is above the MIN mark, drive carefully to an
authorized Volvo retailer and have the brake system inspected.
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.

Cold weather precautions
If you wish to check your car before the approach of cold weather, the following advice is worth noting:
· Make sure that the engine coolant contains at least 50 percent antifreeze: that is, 3.2 qts. (3 liters)
Volvo Genuine Coolant/Antifreeze. This gives protection against freezing down to -31°F
(-35°C). See section "Coolant". The use of "recycled" antifreeze is not approved by Volvo. Different
types of antifreeze may not be mixed.
· Try to keep the fuel tank well filled - this prevents the formation of condensation in the tank. In
addition, in extremely cold weather conditions it is worthwhile to add fuel line de-icer before refueling.
· The viscosity of the engine oil is important. Oil with low viscosity (thinner oil) improves cold-weather
