STARTING AND DRIVING
Parking brake malfunction
If you are unable to deactivate or activate the
parking brake after several attempts, contact an
authorized Volvo workshop.
A audible warning signal will sound if the parking
brake is activated while the vehicle is being
driven.
If the vehicle must be parked before the problem
is rectified, turn the wheels as when parking on
an incline and put the gear selector in P.
Low battery charge level
If the battery charge level is too low, it will not be
possible to activate or deactivate the parking
brake. Connect an auxiliary battery to the vehicle
if the battery is discharged.
Replacing brake pads
Due to the design of the electric parking brake,
the rear brake pads must be replaced by a work-
shop. An authorized Volvo workshop is recom-
mended.
