check the switch at the top of the brake peddle.
The power brake reduces the driver's effort to brake by enlisting the engine to boost brake pressure. The Power Brake system is designed in such a way that should the engine fail, the brake will still work one more time.

If the brakes on your S60 Volvo are hard to push or don't work when you first start the car, it could be due to a vacuum issue. The brake booster relies on engine vacuum to assist with braking; if the engine isn't running, the booster won't function effectively. Additionally, if there's a leak in the vacuum line or the brake booster itself, it may cause the brakes to feel stiff. It's advisable to have the braking system inspected to ensure safety.
YES!
Open your hood up and check your brake fluid reservoir.. it should be in the upper right of the engine compartment.. it's not hard to miss... check your level.
at the brake pedal behind or on top
An engine brake, also known as a compression brake or Jake brake, is a system in a vehicle that helps slow down the vehicle by using the engine's compression to create resistance. When activated, the engine brake closes off the engine's intake valves, which restricts the flow of air into the cylinders. This causes the engine to work against itself, slowing down the vehicle without using the vehicle's brakes.
To check the brake booster on your 1987 Volvo 240, start by turning off the engine and pumping the brake pedal several times to deplete any residual vacuum. Then, hold the brake pedal down and start the engine; the pedal should drop slightly as the booster engages. If it doesn't drop or you hear a hissing noise, the brake booster may be faulty. Additionally, inspect the vacuum hose for any cracks or leaks that could affect performance.
nope
