Hi,

I posted this query at the end of a thread about EPB's but I think my question may have got lost at the end of a lot of replies....

My question is related to EPB's but different....

I have a 2009 XC70 2.5D AWD. When in "Park" the EPB automatically comes on. So far so good - but I often leave the car for longish periods (weeks not months) and, on occasion, the EPB has been sluggish to release. I suspect this is because the pads have stuck to the discs.

My previous car was a Jaguar and it had a feature where you could hold the EPB switch down as you switched off the ignition and the brake did not engage...

Is there a feature like this on a Volvo??

I have tried to find out via the handbook and online , No luck so far!

Does anybody know if this feature is available??
