If the battery charge level is too low, it will not
be possible to activate or deactivate the park-
ing brake. Connect an auxiliary battery to the

Replacing brake pads
Heavy load uphill
Due to the design of the electric parking
brake, the rear brake pads must be replaced
by a workshop. An authorized Volvo workshop
is recommended.
Heavy loads, such as a trailer, could cause the
vehicle to roll backward when the parking
brake is released automatically on steep uphill
gradients. To help avoid this, pull the control
upward while you are driving away. Release
the control when the vehicle gains traction.
