I read on another forum there's a new system update you can get at the dealership (18-010 is the update number) that allows you to set the Auto Start/Stop to OFF by default for comfort mode so that each time you start-up your vehicle, it's not enabled by default.

Has anyone here had any success with this update? I'm going to be reaching out to my dealership this week as it's one thing about this vehicle that is annoying the heck out of me. I realize i can setup an Individual mode and set the Start/Stop to off but each time I start the car I have to select that mode manually.

It would be nice to have it OFF by default on each engine start.

Thanks

Checked this out and 18-010 does not apply to the UK market.

Just a reminder that it would be helpful if all board members added their country/location to their profile signature so we can all see where questions or info are being originated. Thanks.

Anyone know if the update applies for the North American market?

Judging by SwedeSpeed forums, yes.

Can't understand why it's not being made available here, unless it's scheduled for a more 'European' software release in the future.

Suspect UK legislation?

@pjm007 - did you get that info from Volvo? Just wondering if it's a dealer that's just brushing it off!

Dealer, but I trust him. That tech bulletin ref no quoted is not known in the UK so suspect it may be a North American market only. If anyone else knows more - please post it here!

I prefer the stop start to be on all the time. Why can't we just set the defaults ourselves according to our own preferences rather than setting it each time?

This, i don't see why manufacturers try to think for their customers.
