ABS with EBD (Electronic Brake Force Distribution)
EBD is an integrated part of the ABS system. EBD regulates the hydraulic pressure to the rear brakes to
help provide optimal braking capacity.
If the BRAKE and ABS warning lights come on at the same time, this could indicate a fault in the
brake system.
Stop the car in a suitable place and switch off the engine.
Restart the engine.
If both warning lights go off, no further action is required.
If both lights are still on after the engine has been restarted, switch off the engine again and check the
brake fluid level (see
WARNING!
If the fluid level is below the MIN mark in the reservoir, DO NOT DRIVE. Have the car towed to an
authorized Volvo retailer and have the brake system inspected.
If the brake fluid level is above the MIN mark, drive carefully to an authorized Volvo retailer and
have the brake system inspected.
pg. 20 (Dynamic) Stability Traction Control (STC) (DSTC) - option
Stability Traction Control (STC)*
The STC system is designed to help reduce wheel spin by limiting power to the drive wheels if they
begin to lose traction. At speeds over 25 mph (40 km/h), the STC system monitors and compares all four
wheels. If one of the drive (front) wheels shows any tendency to slip, such as when driving on slippery
roads, the difference in speed is immediately detected. This triggers a signal to the engine management
system, which will reduce engine torque (by reducing fuel) until the differential is corrected. This torque
reduction is handled in stages, and reaction time is extremely fast. The system can be switched on or off
by pressing the button on the center console for at least half a second (see
) in the instrument panel will be ON when you have switched the system off. The STC system
comes on each time you start your car.
The STC indicator light (
the system performs a self-diagnostic test. This system should be switched off if you, for any reason,
temporarily have to drive with tires of different dimensions (e.g., spare tire).
