Welcome to Matthew's Volvo Site.

There is a shift lock to stop the car coming out of P unless the ignition is switched on and the foot brake depressed. Check fuse #4 which covers this.

On the gear selector panel there is a 'Shift Lock Override' button to manually release the shift lock. Turn the ignition to position 1, press the button down and move the lever out of P whilst keeping the button depressed.
