Re: Headlight washers

I also am still waiting for the £350, despite having chased the dealer several times and contacted Volvo Customer Services twice (so far!).

Has anyone actually received a cheque?

Startup screen slow to clear

Am I alone in finding that the startup screen (the one showing the plan view of the car highlighting unfastened seatbelts etc.) takes around 30 seconds to disappear after you have pushed the starter button? Presumably, it stays on screen whilst the car is undergoing "power-on-self-testing"...

Re: back seat headrest - how to remove it?

The Volvo seat only handles youngsters up to about 6 years old. What about older children?

Real Time Traffic Information

Silly question, but how do you know whether RTTI is working? Do the coloured lines on the map which denote traffic speeds only appear in RTTI mode or are they present even when traffic data is being processed through the traditional radio channels? The reason for asking is that I’m trying to work ou...

Build quality issues

Re: Dash cam cameras for the XC40

Has anyone who has already taken delivery of an XC40 come up with a way of hard wiring a camera yet? If so, how have you done it?
Thanks
