06 Starting and driving
Brake system
Emergency Brake Assistance – EBA
(Emergency Brake Assistance) For sudden
braking, full-strength braking is provided
instantaneously. The EBA function senses
when heavy braking is underway by registering
how quickly the brake pedal is depressed.
Continue braking without easing off on the
brake pedal. The function is suspended when
the pressure on the brake pedal eases. This
function is always active. It cannot be disen-
gaged.
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.
06
If the brake fluid is below the MIN level in
the brake fluid reservoir, do not drive further
before 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.
