Re: Parking climate

Remote climate doesn’t exist in the UK. Only remote start works as there is no parking heater fitted.

Press the button once for electric heated windscreen. Press twice for heated windscreen plus max defrost (max air). Press again to switch off both.

Re: Driving xc40 without the keys?

You’re supposed to be able to contact Volvo on call and they send a code to the registered owner and sends a virtual key. I think you input the code on entering the vehicle.
I may have dreamt all this too though but sure it’s roughly like that.

Re: R-Design Pro

Hi. My wife has an R Design Pro and that has the lights in the handles. I see you ordered yours after I ordered mine too... Could you get a photo of them so I can prove to my dealer that they're supposed to be there. Picture of handle lights for you. AFDF2903-2FC8-42D0-894A-700E5728E6F9.jpeg

Re: Dealer or independant

Volvo on call is free for three years. You have to renew it after three years irrespective of where the car is serviced. It isn’t free to renew. I’ve extended mine until 2023 already just in case the price increases by 2021 when it expires.

We have 20” wheels and the ride is very smooth, a lot better than my Range Rover with 22” wheels, but also air suspension.
