If it has been driving fine since
then, all you have probably done is worn the
brake pads down.
They said if the
brakes are always applied lightly,
then the
pads do not wear uniformly because all parts of the
pad do not make contact with the rotor causing this squeal and that the noise would go away after some time if I start
braking normally.
If the
brakes were hot and
then you got to a light and held the pedal down (which would hold the hot
pads in contact with the hot rotors), it is possible that
pad resin was transferred onto the rotor, which would cause the noise and require a
pad and rotor change to fix.
When you do a
brake pad change, you can check the rotor for any visible damage
then.
If you do not do this everything will work perfectly fine, until you apply the

The computerized central nervous system of the new Volvo S60 R is so advanced that, when the car is under severe
braking — a few milliseconds before
brake pads actually touch rotors — a microprocessor has already computed how much the front end will dip, and
then uses this information to instantly optimize shock - absorber valving to reduce dive, enhance grip and improve driver control.
You also get to use your boost with the D -
Pad, and
then you're accelerating and
braking is done with the 1 & 2 buttons.
