Volvo XC90: Starting and driving / Maintenance of the brake system
Regularly check the brake system components for wear.
To keep the vehicle as safe and reliable as possible, follow the Volvo service
schedule specified in the Warranty and Maintenance Records Information booklet.
After replacing brake pads and brake discs, braking effect is not adapted until
they are "broken in" by driving a few hundred kilometers (miles). Compensate for
the reduced braking effect by applying greater pressure to the brake pedal. Volvo
recommends only using brake pads approved for your Volvo.
CAUTION
The brake system's components should be regularly checked for wear.
Contact a workshop for advice on how to do this or let a workshop perform
the inspection - an authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.
Braking on wet roads
Prolonged driving in heavy rain without braking may cause braking effect to
be slightly delayed the first time the brakes are applied...
The parking brake helps keep the vehicle stationary by mechanically locking
two wheels.
The parking brake controls are located in the tunnel console
between the seats...
