Re: Glovebox lock

My Inscription Pro, MY20, came with two glove box keys, and two standard keys. The key inside the key fob is an L shaped key, and is a different length to the glove box key.

Re: 2018 XC40 Full Owners Manual in booklet form?

Re: Indicator Cadence

As I understand it, the indicator sound is not indicative of the actual flasher cadence, which continues to flash at a regular rate.
