Volvo Owners Club Forum - View Single Post - S80: Wheels/Brakes - "Parking brake Service Required"/blinking parking light

cirymarr · Mar 15th, 2015, 18:55

Hi
I got into my 2008 Volvo S80 2.5T (Auto) today, and when I started the engine, I noticed the red parking light on the dashboard was blinking, instead of being displayed as steady.

When I tried to disengage the handbrake with the lever, whilst in P, nothing happened (usually there is a small noise of the electronic handbrake disengaging).

2 messages are now being displayed on the dashboard:

"Parking brake - Service required"
"Park assist syst - Service required"

The engine starts fine, but the hand brake is locked, so I can't drive/move the car.

Any ideas? Is there anyway to temporarily disengage the handbrake, so I can drive it to a dealer for repair?
