Re: Caution - re. closing the bonnet (hood for you colonials)

Talking about bonnets, does the XC40 have the same facility as the XC60 whereby you can push the bonnet further open, manually , above what the gas struts have opened it to . Good facility if you are tall.

Re: Red Car warning light

If its that funny symbol in the top centre that changes to a red car then its a collision risk warning

Re: SIM card in car

The send to car facility is part of VOC so will use the built in sim unless there is an additional sim in the car then it will use this one.

Re: Any one else experience the electic seat belt tensioners yet?

Don’t let it happen too much there is a counter on it, think it’s about 70 not sure but there is a person with an xc90 on another forum who has had to have a new seatbelt unit fitted because it’s been activated so many times, probably due to fairly aggressive driving.

Re: Driving in Europe

Even if you don’t have adaptive shadow technology, due to the way the LED lights are set they will not dazzle they have a sharp cut off beam. So there is no setting for left or right hand drive. If you go onto Volvo forums.org there are guite a few posts about this pertaining to the xc60 and 90 whic...

Re: ASL Automatic Speed Limiter

It will be the same as my XC 60 and I use it a lot find it very good. One of the problems it seems to have is when you are driving on a road say with a 50 limit and you come to a roundabout with a side road off with say a 30 limit, it picks up the 30 sign as you are going round the roundabout , so w...

Re: SIM Card for onboard modem

TUx R40, do you mean take the sim out of the IPad and place it in the sim slot,. If so you would need a sim carrier as it’s a full size sim in the Volvo and the iPad uses a micro sim. Or you could tether the car to your iPad if your carrier allows this.

Re: SIM Card for onboard modem

There is no data allowance on the car sim it is only used for VOC, nothing else. if you want to connect your car to data you either have to tether your phone, or purchase a sim to go in the slot. If there is another sim present then VOC will use this one instead of its own.

Re: Navigation issue

The inbuilt system uses GPS not data. You can get live traffic data to the maps and this uses a data connection. Live traffic data is better than TMC traffic data which uses Classic FM to provide info. When you use the live data you also become part of the data gathering fraternity and this provides...
