Ebs (Electronically-Controlled Braking System) - Volvo 9700 US/CAN 2016 Driver's Handbook Manual

EBS (Electronically-controlled Braking System)

The main purpose of the Electronically
Braking System (EBS) is to increase the
effectiveness and efficiency of the service
brake (by shortening braking distances)
and so increase the safety while driving.
The Electronically Braking System (EBS)
controlled the Antilock Brake System (ABS)
and Antislip System Reduction (ASR).
The Electronically Braking System (EBS)
its fitted on buses equipped with disc brakes,
being the Antilock Brake System (ABS) a part
of the Electronically Braking System (EBS)
control and works completely automatically.
The Antilock Brake System (ABS) prevents
the wheels from locking up during braking.
In case of Antilock Brake System (ABS)
failure, the appropriate symbol appears on
display in the dashboard.
Note: Antilock Brake System (ABS)
efficiency is limited. Remember, that on
slippery surfaces Antilock Brake System
(ABS) will not shorten the braking distance
significantly. It can nevertheless help in
avoiding obstacles during braking.
For more information of the Electronically
Braking System (EBS), see separate operating
