Electronic Brake Force Distribution (Ebd) (If Equipped); Hydraulic Brake Assist (Hba) (If Equipped) - Mahindra XUV 500 Owner's Manual

still important to drive with all due care and maintain a
moderate speed and safe distance from the vehicle in front of
you. There are limits to the vehicle stability and effectiveness of
steering wheel operation even with ABS active.
If tyre grip performance exceeds its capability, or if hydroplaning
occurs during high speed driving in the rain, the Anti-lock Brake
System will not assist with vehicle control.

9.6 Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD) (if equipped)

EBD, as a subsystem of the ABS system, controls the effective
adhesion utilization of the rear wheels. EBD aids in distributing the
brake forces more evenly leading to better vehicle stability during
braking.
Typically, the front end carries more weight and EBD distributes
less braking pressure to the rear brakes avoiding a lock up/skid.
For example, under light loads EBD applies less effort to the rear
brakes and for heavy loads it allows full braking effort to the rear
wheels.

A fault with EBD is indicated by illumination of the brake as well as
ABS warning lamps. The vehicle should be examined as soon as
possible by an authorized Mahindra dealer.

9.7 Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA) (if equipped)

ESP system recognizes / identifies an emergency braking situation
from the braking characteristics and thereby achieves a braking
output equivalent to a full force demand at the controls. HBA
automatically boosts the braking force to the maximum and helps
to stop the vehicle as quickly as possible.
Pressure should be maintained on the brake pedal during
entire brake application. If the brake pedal is released, HBA will
stop operating
