Rear Parking Assistance - Volvo 2003 XC90 Manual

2003 VOLVO XC90
All DSTC functions are (re)activated each time the engine is started.
The Stability Control indicator light
The Stability Control indicator light will come on for approximately 2 seconds when the ignition is
switched on as the system performs a self-diagnostic test.
The Stability Control indicator light will flash when:
Traction Control is actively functioning to help avoid drive-wheel spin.
Spin Control is actively functioning to help avoid loss of traction during acceleration.
Active Yaw Control is actively functioning to help avoid skids or lateral slides.
Roll Stability Control is actively functioning to help avoid a roll-over situation.
The warning symbol in the instrument panel
A steady yellow glow indicates:
That the system has been automatically disengaged due to a fault. "ANTI SKID SERVICE
REQUIRED" be displayed in the text window. An authorized Volvo retailer should check the system.
In the event of high brake temperature, "TRACTION CONTROL TEMPORARILY OFF" will be
displayed in the text window. The system will automatically switch on again when the brakes have
cooled.
Emergency Brake Assistance (EBA)
The EBA function is an integrated part of the DSTC system. EBA 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.
NOTE:
When the EBA system is activated, the brake pedal will go down and pressure in the brake system
immediately increases to the maximum level. 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 vehicle 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.
