Hi guys, few days ago I accidently frove with partial of the hand brake still on. I did lower the lever before I drove out my garage ad it wasn't properly lowered and I was stupid enough to not notice it on the dash (p light)

I drove for like 100 mtr frm home in regular residential speed (round 50 km/h) then I felt rapid tapping sensation n that's when I realized the handbrake was still on and quickly released it fully down.

That day I drove for around 50 km and then at home I smelled like something burning. I did ask local wrokshop he said its nothing to worry about especially if its the first time happening and wasn't long distance. The pad friction caused the smell and it will settle in time like it does with new break pads. But he is not volvo specialist and thought I"d ask u guys here for some thoughts.

Is there anything else or important that I need to worry about?

Thanks heaps

In regard to the e-brake question, don't worry about it. If anything you wore 100m worth of material off the shoes. Not a big deal at all.

Cheers,

Bill
