Range Rover: Emergency brake assist (EBA)
If the driver rapidly applies the brakes, EBA automatically boosts the braking force to its maximum, in order to bring the vehicle to a halt as quickly as possible. If the driver applies the brakes slowly, but conditions mean that ABS operates on the front wheels, EBA will increase the braking force in order to apply ABS control to the rear wheels.
EBA stops operating as soon as the brake pedal is released.
The amber brake warning lamp illuminates briefly when the ignition is turned on. See 57, WARNING LAMPS AND INDICATORS.
A fault with the EBA system is indicated by the amber brake warning lamp illuminating and an associated warning message. Gently and safely stop the vehicle and seek qualified assistance.
Steep slopes
If the vehicle is stationary on a steep, slippery slope, it may begin to slide
even with the brakes applied. This is because without wheel rotation, the ABS cannot
determine vehicle movement.
