pg. 4:15 Brake system
If one of the brake circuits should malfunction, the red warning light will come on
The pedal stroke increases slightly, the pedal feels softer and extra pressure is required for normal
braking.
If the light comes on while driving or braking, stop immediately and check the brake fluid level in the
reservoir.
WARNING!
If the fluid level is below the MIN mark in either section of the reservoir: DO NOT DRIVE. Tow the
car to a Volvo retailer and have the brake system checked and repaired.
Anti-lock Brake System - ABS
If the warning lamp lights up there si a malfunction of the ABS system (the standard braking system will
however function) and the vehicle should be driven 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 lock-up. When the system "senses" impending lock-up,
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 vehicle is started and at 4 mph (6 km/h). The driver
may detect on pulsation of the brake pedal, which is normal.
To obtain optimal effect from the ABS system, constant pressure should be kept on the brake pedal
while the system is modulating the brakes.
The switching of the ABS modulator will be audible at this time.
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.
