warning VOLVO XC70 2006 Owner´s Manual

114
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
If the warning lamp lights up there is a malfunction of the ABS
system (the standard braking system will however function) and the
vehicle should be driven cautiously to a Volvo retailer for inspection.
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) helps to improve vehicle control
(stopping and steering) during severe braking conditions by limiting
brake lockup. When the system "senses" impending lockup, braking
pressure is automatically modulated in order to help prevent lockup,
which could lead to a skid.
The system performs a self-diagnostic test when the engine is started
and when the vehicle first reaches a speed of approximately 12 mph
(20 km/h). The brake pedal will pulsate several times and a sound may
be audible from the ABS control module. This is normal.
To obtain optimal effect from the ABS system, constant pressure
should be kept on the brake pedal. Do not pump the brake pedal.
The switching of the ABS modulator will be audible and the brake pedal
will pulsate during braking. Please be aware that ABS does not increase
the absolute braking potential of the vehicle. While control will be
enhanced, ABS will not shorten stopping distances on slippery surfaces.
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. The brake pedal will pulsate during braking, which is normal.
If the BRAKE and ABS warning lights come on at the same
time, this could indicate a fault in the brake system.

WARNING!
 The wheel and tire sizes for your Volvo
are specified to meet stringent stability
and handling requirements. Unapproved
wheel/tire size combinations can negative-
ly affect your vehicle's stability and
handling. Approved tire sizes are shown
in the Tire inflation pressure tables on
page 122.
 Any damage caused by installation of
unapproved wheel/tire size combinations
will not be covered by your new vehicle
warranty. Volvo assumes no responsibility
for death, injury, or expenses that may
result from such installations. Tread wear indicator

Only specially trained persons should
mount self supporting run flat tires.
If self supporting run flat tires are
mounted, the vehicle must be equipped
with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System.
After a low pressure warning has been
displayed, do not exceed 50 mph
(80 km/h).
Avoid severe cornering and hard braking,
and minimize the distance traveled before
replacing the self supporting run flat tire.
Self supporting run flat tires cannot be
repaired. They must be replaced if
damaged or punctured.

CAUTION!
•Not checking the oil level regularly can
result in serious engine damage if the oil
level becomes too low.
•Oil that is lower than the specified quality
can damage the engine.
•Always add oil of the same type and
viscosity as already used.
•Never fill oil above the MAX mark. This
could cause an increase in oil consump-
tion.
R-models
R-models are equipped with an oil level
warning system. If the engine oil level
becomes too low, the warning light in the
instrument panel will come on and a warning
will be displayed in the text window.

•Do not smoke near the battery.
•Battery fluid contains sulfuric acid. Do not
allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin,
fabrics or painted surfaces. If contact
occurs, flush the affected area immediate-
ly with water. Obtain medical help
immediately if eyes are affected.
