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).
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.
