Messages
Parking brake not fully released – A fault is
preventing the parking brake from being re-
leased. Contact an authorised Volvo work-
shop. A warning signal sounds if you pull
away with this error message.
Parking brake not applied – A fault is pre-
venting the parking brake from being applied.
Try to apply and release. Contact a Volvo
workshop if the message remains.
The message is also illuminated on cars with
manual gearbox when the car is driven at low
speed with the door open in order to alert the
driver that the parking brake may have been
unintentionally disengaged.
Parking brake Service required – A fault has
arisen. Contact a Volvo workshop if the fault
remains.
If the car has to be parked before the fault
has been rectified then the wheels must be
turned as if parking on a hill and the gear
selector must be in position 1 (manual
gearbox) or P (automatic gearbox).
Replacing the brake linings
The rear brake linings must be replaced by
an authorised Volvo workshop due to the de-
sign of the electric parking brake.
NOTE
For safety reasons, the parking brake is only
released automatically if the engine is run-
ning and the driver is wearing a seatbelt.
The parking 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.

mation display
