Hi, guys, I have just picked up a new 2020 xc 40 r design with the three packs in thunder grey. I have joined this forum because I see I will have to ask a lot of questions as I don't have my pilots licence yet or any IT qualifications. I am 6 3 and the first impression is I love it.
Yes, I do have a question when in cruise mode you have autonomous braking does this emergency braking work when not in cruise mode.
thanks in advance.

Welcome both - enjoy your new cars.

Yes, you do get AEB in all situations, not just in cruise. I find it too sensitive though & have set the reaction to 'late'.

My recommendations for a new car are:

Matte screen protector

Sunglasses holder to replace grab handle (though taller drivers might find it annoying)

If you have 360° camera, drag & drop screen icons on RH screen to put camera icon in clear space for easy access.

Afternoon all, new to the forum and also to being a Volvo owner. Took delivery of a T4 Inscription AWD after a few months delay due to the Covid after being with Lexus for the last 6 years. Still getting used to discovering my way around the car as no handover or demonstrations of what’s in the car. Can anyone advise on wither you can set an alert sound for when the satnav picks up speed cameras, as opposed to just showing them as an alert on the dash??

Cheers

My car always chimes when approaching a speed camera. I've never noticed an indication in the dash.

I don't have the chime, only the speed camera symbol.

Just like Bulleye4 does.

I'll have to keep an eye out for the display.

If you want the chime then just follow the instructions in my earlier post.
