Volvo XC90: Starting and driving / Brake Assist System
The brake enhancing system, (BAS1), helps increase braking force
and can thereby reduce braking distance.
The system monitors the driver's braking habits and increases braking force when
necessary. Braking force can be increased up to the point at which the ABS intervenes.
NOTE
When BAS is activated, depress and hold down the brake pedal as long as
needed.
1 Brake Assist System
The brake pedal is used to apply the vehicle's regular brakes, which are part
of the brake system.
The vehicle is equipped with two brake circuits. If one brake circuit is damaged,
the brake pedal may go down further when depressed...
Braking on wet roads
Prolonged driving in heavy rain without braking may cause braking effect to
be slightly delayed the first time the brakes are applied...
Other information:
Incorrectly connected or installed accessories or extra equipment may have
an adverse effect on the vehicle's electronics.
We strongly recommend that Volvo owners use only genuine, Volvo-approved accessories,
and that accessory installations be performed only by a trained and qualified Volvo
service technician...
