Re: Compass view

Would be interested to know what shape/form the compass icon had. I see a triangle in the driver console when starting up. It shows the direction the car is “pointing” wrt the map shown in that display. I think the compass you mention with ref. to the rear view mirror is a totally different feature...

Re: City safe - how often?

[media][/media] Guys, I've had my FE since March, done 3.5k miles and have the city safe set to normal.

Snow Tyres

Not wanting to jinx the superb weather we are having, I turn to the subject of snow. This is largely due to the fact that a lot of us are expecting delivery October and beyond :roll: Has anybody thought about what they are going to do i.e. are you going to bother? I live in the Highlands and have us...

Re: Missing parts 101

Is the safety net part of the standard kit or is it an optional extra?

Day notice lights

Does the XC40 have day lights illuminated both at front and rear? Volvo’s of yesteryear used to and I do not know if this is still the case.

Sunroof and Volvo on Call App.

Can anybody tell me wether the On Call App can detect an open sunroof. I am for ever wondering wether I have closed the roof. As such, this would be a useful feature. I realise the app detects open windows.
