WARNING
If the warning symbols for both brake fault
and ABS fault are lit simultaneously, there
may be a fault in the brake system.
If the brake fluid reservoir level is nor-
•
mal when this occurs, drive carefully to
the nearest workshop to have the
brake system checked - an authorized
Volvo workshop is recommended.
If the brake fluid has fallen below the
•
MIN level in the brake fluid reservoir,
the vehicle should not be driven until
the brake fluid has been filled. The rea-
son for the brake fluid loss must be
checked.

Brake Assist System
The brake enhancing system, (BAS
increase braking force and can thereby
reduce braking distance.
The system monitors the driver's braking hab-
its and increases braking force when neces-
sary. Braking force can be increased up to the
point at which the ABS intervenes.
NOTE
When BAS is activated, depress and hold
down the brake pedal as long as needed.
