Emergency brake assistance – EBA
(Emergency brake assistance) In case of
sudden braking, full-strength braking is pro-
vided instantaneously. The EBA function
senses when heavy braking is underway by
registering how quickly the brake pedal is
depressed. Continue braking without easing
off on the brake pedal. The function is sus-
pended 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
illuminated at the same time, a fault may
have occurred in the brake system. If the
level in the brake fluid reservoir is normal,
drive carefully 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 be-
fore topping up the brake fluid.
The reason for the loss of brake fluid must
be investigated.
NOTE
When the EBA function is activated, the
brake pedal sinks slightly more than usual,
press (and hold) the brake pedal as long as
necessary. Release the brake pedal to stop
all braking.
