Speed-sensitive power steering
(Option on certain models)
With this feature, the steering is most responsive at lower speeds to
make parking, driving in city traffic, etc., easier. The effect of the power
steering diminishes as you accelerate for greater stability at highway
speeds.

Economical driving conserves natural
resources
Better driving economy may be obtained by thinking ahead, avoiding
rapid starts and stops and adjusting the speed of your vehicle to immedi-
ate traffic conditions. Observe the following rules:

Emergency towing
Front towing eyelet Rear towing eyelet
Emergency towing
The towing eyelet is located in the tool bag,
under the floor of the cargo area, with the
spare tire. This eyelet must be screwed into the
positions provided on the right sides of either
the front or rear bumper (see illustration). To
attach the towing eyelet:

After the car has been towed, the eyelet should
be removed and returned to the tool bag. Press
the cover back into position.

CAUTION:
•Please check with state and local authori-
ties before attempting this type of towing,
as vehicles being towed are subject to
regulations regarding maximum towing
speed, length and type of towing device,
lighting, etc.
•If the car’s battery is dead, do not attempt
to start the vehicle by pushing or pulling it
as this will damage the three-way catalytic
converter(s). The engine must be jump
started using an auxiliary battery (see page
109).
•If the car is being towed on a flat bed
truck, the towing eyelets must not be used
to secure the car on the flat bed. Consult
the tow truck operator.
WARNING!
•Remember that the power brakes and
power steering will not function when
engine is not running. The braking and
steering systems will function but the
brake pedal pressure required is 3 - 4
times above normal and greater steering
effort must be exerted.
•The towing eyelets must not be used for
pulling another vehicle out of a ditch or
for any similar purpose involving severe
strain.
•Do not use the towing eyelets to pull the
car up onto a flat bed tow truck.

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.
