Range Rover: Electronic brake force distribution (EBD) - Brakes - Range Rover Owner's ManualRange Rover: Electronic brake force distribution (EBD)

EBD controls the balance of braking forces supplied to the front and rear wheels, in order to maintain maximum braking efficiency.

If the vehicle has a light load (only the driver in the vehicle for example), EBD will reduce the braking force applied to the rear wheels. If the vehicle is heavily laden, EBD will allow greater braking force to the rear wheels.

The red brake warning lamp illuminates briefly when the ignition is turned on. See 57, WARNING LAMPS AND INDICATORS.

A fault with the EBD system is indicated by the red brake warning lamp illuminating and an associated warning message. Gently and safely stop the vehicle and seek qualified assistance.
