STARTING AND DRIVING
}}
435
In the event of a fault in the
parking brake
Contact an authorised Volvo workshop if it is
not possible to deactivate or activate the
parking brake after several attempts.
An acoustic warning signal sounds when driv-
ing with the parking brake activated.
If the car must be parked before a possible
fault is rectified, then the wheels must be
turned as for parking on a hill and the gear
selector must be in position P.
Low battery voltage
If the battery voltage is too low then the park-
ing brake can be neither deactivated nor acti-
vated. Connect 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.

Automatic braking when stationary
Automatic brake when stationary (Auto hold)
means that the driver can release the brake
pedal while maintaining braking effect when
the car has stopped at traffic lights or a junc-
tion.
When the car has stopped, the brakes are
activated automatically. The function can use
either foot brake or parking brake to hold the
car stationary and it works on all gradients.
When driving off, the brakes are released
automatically if the driver is wearing the seat-
belt or the driver's door is closed.
NOTE
When braking to a standstill on an uphill or
downhill slope, the brake pedal should be
depressed a little harder before being
released to ensure the car does not roll.
The parking brake is activated if
•
the car is switched off
•
the driver's door is opened
•
the driver's seatbelt is unbuckled
•
the car has been stationary for a longer
time (510 minutes).
