By the time my 2012 XC70 came along, this automatically applied EPB feature seems not to have been offered. However, Technical Notes for Volvo Mechanics does mention that some XC70s have automatic EPB but doesn't specify which ones. The UK 2009 handbook doesn't mention it. Nor does the US handbook for the same year. Does your car have "Hill Holder" automatic EPB braking? I suspect that automatic EPB and Hill Holder will have been complimentary systems. My car has neither even though it is a hi spec model so this seems to be a somewhat random feature.
