pg. 12 Warning lights (cont.)
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is designed to improve vehicle control (i.e. stopping and steering) during severe braking
conditions by limiting wheel lock-up. When the system "senses" impending wheel lock-up, braking pressure is automatically
modulated in order to help prevent lock-up, which could lead to skid. While the system is modulating braking pressure, the driver may
detect a pulsation of the brake pedal. The on/off switching of the ABS modulator may also be audible. This is normal.
Please be aware that ABS does not increase the absolute braking potential of the vehicle. Thus, while control will be enhanced, ABS
will not shorten stopping distances on slippery surfaces.
NOTE:
If the warning lamp light up there is a malfunction of the ABS system (the standard braking system will however function), and the
car should be driven to a Volvo dealer for inspection.
