A couple of weeks ago, I dropped off my '93 240 at my local Volvo dealer for some work (it needed a new Cat to pass inspection), and I was given a new (i.e., 2,400 mile) S80, either an '09 or more likely a '08 leftover, as a loaner.
Well, that car is great, as you can imagine, but I couldn't figure out one thing! I'm used to setting a parking brake, along with putting the tranny in Park, when I park the car. But I couldn't find it. It obviously didn't have a handle between the seats, but I also looked high and low for some left-foot pedal to actuate. Nothing!!!
I planned to ask the dealer guys when I brought it back, but was distracted by getting my own car back, as I planned to rush to the inspection station to get it reinspected by the end of the day, and completely forgot to ask them. Now, thinking about it again, I'm left wondering.
So, anyone know where the actuator is? And, of course, how to release it afterwards? I did see a button that looked (by the symbol) to be the release, but it's crazy to not be able to apply the parking brake in the first place.
Thanks.
