Volvo V60 Manual, Parking brake "not applied" warning

jfhwalker · Jan 12th, 2024, 15:33

I own a Volvo V60 T4 SE LUX, 6 speed manual transmission. I bought the vehicle in Jan 2023 and it was first registered in Dec 2017.

Something I forget to do on a fairly regular basis is apply the electric parking brake when I'm leaving the vehicle.

On 2 or 3 occasions, when I've forgotten to apply the handbrake a message came up on the dash saying "Warning, Parking Brake not applied", which led me to believe there was a fault with the system. The car has been back to the main dealer who has replaced the parking brake switch, but that hasn't fixed the fault.

I've asked Volvo UK support how my vehicle should operate and they said "We can confirm that there is no reminder warning informing the handbrake has not been applied on this model".

My question to anyone with an electric parking brake and manual transmission, is do you ever see the "Warning, Parking Brake not applied" message.
