It seems that as long as you are happy to (Remote) start up the car to get the engine running, you can.

Re: Collection check list - XC40

I was lucky I think. I only heard it as I drove slowly into my local side street. Called out Volvo Assistance and they tied it up as a temporary measure.

Just want to check I've got my all important headlight washers as the car is due end of the month
The VIN number itself contains little information. You need to ask for a list of the feature codes. JG02 is the Headlamp Cleaning System.

Re: Collection check list - XC40

Here’s another possible addition:- Make sure, when reviewing the PDI process, that your dealer has checked all the plastic insulation panels that are attached to the underside of your car by their little plastic bolts - yes really! After 3 days, one of these panels dropped down at it’s front edge un...

Can u see this screenshot?
Yes can see it now.

Sorry but I don’t believe that dealer interpretation. I am pretty sure there is nothing wrong with my brand new battery, but the key issue is that to do what he/she suggests needs a Parking Heater and there are none fitted to XC40s.

Re: Pre-Conditioning & the mystery of the Parking Heater

I think the other one area which will run and run is phone/media/internet and general connectivity as everyone starts to work out what works (and doesn't) for their own circumstances. Yup.

Re: Pre-Conditioning & the mystery of the Parking Heater

The whole point of having a separate parking heater is that you could start it with a timer, but not need to have the engine start up for all the stated unattended safety, legal reasons etc. You can of course use Remote Start from I presume anywhere in the world and have your vehicle chugging away u...
