Just been discussing this on another thread on XC40Forums, and we think it might just be a forced running of the 'Clean Zone' feature... So it may not be as good as actually running the air-conditioner with the engine running. But worth a try in summer :D

Don't think this has been mentioned, but a double click of the mirror button alternates between dipped and normal position. I find this useful as we have a parking space with a pillar at home so don't want to dip on reverse, but when parallel street parking I would like to dip the mirror.

Thanks ak888, that's just what I needed for occasional reversing in tricky spots. Very handy to know. Thank you ;)
(double-pressing the LEFT or RIGHT mirror button dips the mirror for me! Yay!)

Had my car just over a week. Did some shopping and the boss busied herself fetching the final bags and closed the boot. 5 minutes later my iPhone beeps and 'On Call' tells me the car is unlocked. So I lock it. Well I never.

Just wait until you get the situation, and it has happened to me, where you are some miles from your car and you know you have locked it, and suddenly the App tells you the car is unlocked.

You deliberate should I lock it remotely, knowing it's already locked, or just leave it telling you it's unlocked.

You finally give in to paranoia and click the App's lock button to be informed by your phone that there's no signal.

Ahh well, modern technology!!!

Only on the car's which have that option unfortunately. Many don't and you have to dip the mirror manually at the switch.

I believe you need to have memory seats.
Cheers,

Had mine just over a month. Standard sound system but when playing music loud, when the car stops and engine cuts out for stop/start the subwoofer goes off leaving the sound quite tinny. Soon as you pull off it kicks in again...

This doesn't happen with mine. It dips in sound for notifications such as impending speed cameras, but no change for engine stop/start.

Used the safety net for the first time today!

Had a few journeys to the local refuse tip to run. Used the net to stop bits and pieces flying around the cabin.

Worked well.
