Re: What have you just found out about your XC40.

I've just looked at the manual as I have two keys for my glovebox, which does lock. In the manual the lock is down as an optional extra for some specs. That will explain why Blue Velvets may not have a key. Ha! You got my keys Paulinyork...ha ha ha! There appears to be some mixing and matching goin...

Re: What have you just found out about your XC40.

Momentum Pro D3:

You can cool your drinks in the glove compartment. The dealership didn’t even know that.
Strangely, it isn’t lockable - misplaced priorities!

Re: Xc40 Momentum Pro- Parking Climate

In certain other countries, not UK, the car has a dedicated heater that doesn't rely on the engine running. In the UK the heater isn't present and all the Parking Climate does is as "paulinyork" says. The app does tell you the temperature at the cars position which is quite handy !! As is...

Re: Xc40 Momentum Pro- Parking Climate

In the UK the only thing the parking climate does is blow whatever air is outside the car into the car. There is not heating, or cooling of the air. If you have an automatic car then you can start the engine(and any cooling/heating) via the on call app. Thanks “Paulinyork“ I will have to leave with...

Xc40 Momentum Pro- Parking Climate

Hi,

Does anyone know if the xc40 Momentum Pro has parking climate as standard.

I don’t know if it does, but I can say it is not working.
I thought this was a standard feature on Volvo cars.

Please help ASAP.

Thanks.

Record & send

Hi all,

Has anyone tried using the “record & send” feature yet?
Or does it only work on certain trim? I have Momentum Pro auto. The system does read messages alright but does not allow me to record & send.
Have you had the same experience? Or have you got the feature enabled?

Re: Headlight washers

As Chris says above, they don't work on every windscreen wash (you'd soon have an empty bottle if they did) - it's something like every 5th wash. This time of year is probably not the best time to see them. In my previous car, the spray bounced above the bonnet line & was very obvious on a wint...

Re: D3 Auto around town

I’d be interested to get other people’s views on the d3, especially with an auto box. Whilst it’s perfect (for me) out of town I find it a little bit of a pain to drive in town. I find the auto box to be slow to pick up from a near stop such as going into a roundabout where you’re off then back on ...
