Re: Volvo Cars iOS app 5.38.0

fuel consumption now seems to show in l/km instead of mpg, and I can't see any way of changing it - was it always like this and I hadn't noticed?

Re: Unlock Notification

First time it was of use to me was - got out to find the pay and display machine, which wasn't where it used to be, eventually found car park had been converted to free from P&D and was so amazed that I set off on a walk without remembering that I had left the car unlocked to put the ticket in. ...

Re: Servicing

Interested that I never see the Cupra Formentor mentioned as an alternative - it has decent reviews and would actually have been my first choice if t had come out a little earlier. When I was looking to change it was too new for local dealers to have one to see in the flesh, let alone test drive so ...

Re: Is BLIS worth it?

I literally found BLIS a lifesaver recently - Someone dressed all in black on an electric scooter one evening trying to squeeze through on the inside. Mirror indicator lit up and I trusted it so stayed in the same lane even though there was nothing visible in the mirrors until we went past a lighted...

Re: B4P Mild Hybrid Jump Start

I thought the B4 in effect bump started the engine from moving off under electric, but that was purely my impression from reading, with no experience. If that were the case, jump starting would be highly impractical unless you were prepared to do it on the move!

Re: XC40 B4 Momentum Sensus Fault

I have experienced this when the car is not in "P". Put it in to "P" and it is quite happy to switch off, not obvious if you accidentally nudge the gear selector, and of course no error codes will show. I would have expected the dealer to know this!

Re: Sending "round trip" from app to car?

In my car (Sensus) destinations sent to the car sometimes go into "recent", but always go into "Library" - it took me ages to find this, sometimes sent the destination several times because nothing seemed to appear. Unfortunately the Sensus search is so poor that sending from the...
