ing off. Release the control when the engine

achieves traction.

Symbols

Messages

Parking brake not fully released – A fault is

preventing the parking brake from being

released. 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

design 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.

Symbol Specification

Read the message on the infor-

mation display

A flashing symbol indicates

that the parking brake is

applied.

If the symbol flashes in any

other situation then this means

that a fault has arisen. Read the

message on the information

display.

(P)!
