Parking on a hill
WARNING
Always use the parking brake when parking
on an inclined surface. Engaging a gear or the
automatic transmission's
P
position is not suf-
ficient to hold the car stationary in all situa-
tions.

Turn the wheels
away from
the kerb.

•
Turn the wheels
towards
the kerb.
Heavy load uphill

to roll backward when the parking brake is
released automatically on a steep incline. Avoid
this by pulling the control upwards while driving
the car away. Release the control when the
engine achieves traction.

In the event of a fault in the parking
brake
Contact an authorised Volvo workshop if it is not
possible to release or apply the parking brake
after several attempts.
An acoustic warning signal sounds when driving
with the parking brake applied.
If the car has to be parked before a possible fault
is rectified then the wheels must be turned as if
parking on a hill and the gear selector must be in
position
P
, or engage first gear if the car has a
manual gearbox.
Low battery voltage
If the battery voltage is too low then the parking
brake can neither be released nor applied. Con-
nect a donor battery if the battery voltage is too
low.
Replacing the brake linings
The rear brake linings must be replaced at a
workshop due to the design of the electrically-
operated parking brake - an authorised Volvo
workshop is recommended.
