STARTING AND DRIVING
}}

All Wheel Drive (AWD)
Your Volvo can be equipped with permanent All
Wheel Drive, which means that power is distrib-
uted automatically between the front and rear
wheels.
Under normal driving conditions, most of the
engine's power is directed to the front wheels.
However, if there is any tendency for the front
wheels to spin, an electronically controlled cou-
pling distributes power to the wheels that have
the best traction.
NOTE
The message AWD disabled Service
required will be appear in the information
display if an electrical fault should occur in
the AWD system. A warning light will also illu-
minate in the instrument panel. If this occurs,
have the system checked by a trained and
qualified Volvo service technician.

Transmission – general information (p. 255)
Brakes – general
The brake system is a hydraulic system consist-
ing of two separate brake circuits. If a problem
should occur in one of these circuits, it is still
possible to stop the vehicle with the other brake
circuit.
If the brake pedal must be depressed farther
than normal and requires greater foot pressure,
the stopping distance will be longer.
A warning light in the instrument panel will light
up to warn the driver that a fault has occurred.
If this light comes on while driving or braking,
stop immediately and check the brake fluid level
in the reservoir.
NOTE
Press the brake pedal hard and maintain
pressure on the pedal – do not pump the
brakes.
WARNING
If the fluid level is below the MIN mark in the
reservoir or if a brake system message is
shown in the information display: DO NOT
DRIVE. Have the vehicle towed to a trained
and qualified Volvo service technician and
have the brake system inspected.
