Starting and driving

Brake system

Brake servo

If the car is rolling or is being towed with the

engine turned off, the brake pedal must be

pressed about

five times harder than when

the engine is running. If the brake pedal is

pressed when the engine is started, you will

feel the pedal drop. This is normal and due to

the brake servo becoming active. This may be

more noticeable if the car has emergency

brake assistance (EBA).

NOTE! If braking with the engine switched

off, press the brake pedal sharply once, not

repeatedly.

Brake circuits

This symbol lights if a brake circuit is

not working.

If a fault should occur in one of the

circuits, it is still possible to brake the car. The

brake pedal will travel further and may feel

softer than normal. Harder pressure on the

pedal is needed to produce the normal

braking effect.

Dampness can affect braking character-

istics

Brake components become wet when the car

is driven in heavy rain, through pools of water

or when the car is washed. This may alter

brake pad friction characteristics so that

there is a delay before braking effect is

noticed.

Press the brake pedal lightly from time to time

if driving for long stretches in rain or slushy

snow, as well as after setting off in very damp

or cold weather. This warms up the braking

surfaces and dries off any water. It is also

recommended to do this before parking the

car for a long period in such weather condi

tions.

If the brakes are used heavily

When driving in the Alps or other roads with

similar characteristics, the car’s brakes are

heavily loaded even if the brake pedal is not

being depressed especially hard.

Because speed is often low, the brakes are

not cooled as effectively as when driving on

flat roads at higher speed.

So as not to overload the brakes, shift down

when driving downhill instead of using the

foot brake. Use the same gear driving

downhill as you would use driving uphill. This

using engine braking more efficiently and

requires the foot brake for only brief periods.

Bear in mind that driving with a trailer puts an

additional load on the car’s brakes.

Anti-lock braking system (ABS)

The ABS system (Anti-lock Braking

System) is designed so that the

wheels do not lock when braking.

This retains the best possible

steering response when braking. This

improves your ability to swerve to avoid

obstacles. The ABS system does not

increase your total braking capacity.

However, as the driver you have increased

ability to steer and thus better control over

the car, which in turn increases safety.

WARNING!

The brake servo only works when the

engine is running.

WARNING!

If the BRAKE and ABS warning symbols

are lit at the same time, a fault may have

occurred in the brake system. If the level in

the brake fluid reservoir is normal, drive

carefully to the nearest authorised Volvo

workshop to have the brake system

checked.

If the brake fluid is under 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.
