Hi all

My Red Xc40 T5 recharge turned up yesterday, I love it!

Very different to previous Diesel Discovery sport but I knew it was going to be different.

I am getting used to charging it.

One thing I’ve discovered today is the car has a very clever app, that allows you to start the car from your phone (warms up on cold mornings) but this feature won’t function if the cable is plugged in?

Anyone found a clever way round this?

Thanks

You can set a schedule or start manually.

I have daily schedule set on mine and also use manually when needed.

Remote start works when away from charging very well too. But no schedule for that.

Hi
When on charge you want Parking Climate
when not on charge you want Remote Start

Hope this helps

Thanks all,

Yes this works well, the parking climate when plugged in is good!
