One "reason" I've heard for manufacturers fitting EPBs is that people with certain disabilities can't use an "ordinary" handbrake.Personally I think it's just another con job so you have to go to main stealers for repairs!

My question is related 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! Any ideas? |
