Re: Park In (Park Assist Pilot thing) - Parallel Parking
I would be surprised if it could intentionally park on the side of the road facing traffic. This is against the Highway Code - https://www.gov.uk/guidance/the-highway-code/waiting-and-parking-238-to-252 I'm not looking to be holier than thou - pleads the 5th amendment ;-) - just trying to explain w...

Re: Park In (Park Assist Pilot thing) - Parallel Parking
I've not used this much, but when parallel parking, I've managed to use it when approaching spaces on the left, and I'm certain that it worked the one time I've approached to get a space on the right too, but recently all I get it that it is 'scanning left' - any idea how this 'assist' works to get...

Re: 3 month checkover....
I took mine in just for a quick chat, free coffee, for them to do the "once over", was on my way in about 30 mins. with a stamp in the book. It was free and a check that everything was as it should be so seemed like a no brainer.

Re: Which driver support mode do you use most? Pilot Assist/Speed limiter/Adaptive Cruise Control
I might be forgetting things but isn't pilot assist just adaptive cruise control and they have then added in/on lane assist functionality?

Re: Which driver support mode do you use most? Pilot Assist/Speed limiter/Adaptive Cruise Control
Hands down the adaptive cruise control is numero uno used, Pilot assist occasionally on the motorway when quiet (tends to be uncomfortably close to left side of lane - so is not a relaxing drive). The ACC does scare the hebbie's out of me though when on full speed and heading towards the back of a Q...

Re: Driving Journal
It registered 10m or so it went from the front car park to the garage at my dealer's. Doors unlocked and windows down for its 3-months service and software update. It then registered the move back to the car park - so it does record very short journeys, at least on my setup (default). Sounds like t...

Re: Driving Journal
Interesting one. I wonder whether there might be a minimum distance that needs to be done before a log is made. Perhaps short trips (10's of metres) say between dealer car park and workshop just don't register? If longer distances, and then Volvo delete I would expect to see some differences in mile...

Re: Volvo On Call App
Works independently. Car seems to record data and then uploads to "somewhere". You simply access the "journal" in the app as and when you want - it then accessing the data needed from the "somewhere". I suspect that somewhere is on Volvo's servers. So they could have a ...
