Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) The ABS system performs a brief self-diagnostic test when the engine has been started and driver releases the brake pedal.

The brake pedal will pulsate several times and a sound may be audible from the ABS control module. This is normal.

The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as: Points to keep in mind • Do not export your Volvo to another country before investigating that country's applicable safety and exhaust emission requirements. In some cases it may be dif- To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR. 9
