Emergency brake assistance – EBA
(Emergency Brake Assistance) For sudden
braking, full-strength braking is provided in-
stantaneously. The EBA function senses
when heavy braking is underway by register-
ing how quickly the brake pedal is de-
pressed. Continue braking without easing off
on the brake pedal. The function is suspend-
ed when the pressure on the brake pedal
eases. This function is always active. It can-
not be disengaged.
WARNING
If the BRAKE and ABS warning symbols illu-
minate at the same time, there may be a
fault in the brake system. If the level in the
brake fluid reservoir is normal at this stage,
drive carefully to the nearest authorised
Volvo workshop and 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 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.
