Re: Lane Assistance Graphic

How kind. After posting, the memsahib said "Have you turned it off?". Very embarrassing. Thanks for reading, and tip noted!

Lane Assistance Graphic

Good afternoon

The 'Lane Assistance' graphic on my display has disappeared. Going to 'Settings' reports it is activated. All suggestions gratefully pursued.

Jump Starting

A situation occurred recently where I attempted to use my XC 40 (B5 mile hybrid) to start my sons car. Opening the bonnet the battery terminals were not labelled, and I found the manual most confusing. Fortunately another solution was available. Any tips on the correct process if the problem did occ...

Power Flush?

Good morning. My XC40 started to nag that a service was due and I have duly booked it in. What with the plague and such I have done only 2500 miles in a year, and 500 of those were a London trip 2 weeks ago. The chap who answered my call at the garage recommended for low mileage cars a power flush a...

Re: Remote Start

I seem to have mastered remote start which seems to work out if it needs the sreen heaters. Can I include the heated seats? If so, how? The memsahib is complaining.

Re: Start/Stop

Good point..... however, the wait is so long the queue can stretch nearly a mile. This crossing is a local legend!

Re: Start/Stop

Thanks for kind views. The Start/Stop function activates after about half a mile and has always been active unless I switch it off, which, as I said, I do. We live near a level crossing which frequently has a 'doubler' i.e. it stays shut for trains going both ways including having to wait for one to...

Start/Stop

As I am currently doing few miles in 'lockdown', going out about 3 days a week on short journeys, I tend to turn off the 'start/stop' function as I am nervous that using all the electrical stuff (heated seats, radio, heater and so forth) with the engine off will drain the battery. Am I being too cau...
