For safety reasons, the parking brake is only
released automatically if the engine is running
and the driver is wearing a seatbelt. The park-
ing brake is released immediately on cars
with automatic gearbox when the accelerator
pedal is depressed and the gear selector is in
position
D
or
R
.
Heavy load uphill
A heavy load, such as a trailer, can cause the car
to roll backward when the parking brake is
released automatically on a steep incline. Avoid
this by depressing the control while driving off.
Release the control when the engine achieves
traction.
Replacing the brake linings
The rear brake linings must be replaced at a
workshop due to the design of the electric park-
ing brake - an authorised Volvo workshop is rec-
ommended.

panel's text messages can be shown and
