Re: Auto Headlights in rain
Maybe Volvo could change the dash light on the next update!! Just a thought: When it’s dark enough for the “auto” headlight to switch themselves on, the drivers display dims and the sat nav goes into dark mode (if being used). It sometimes does this when driving under trees on a bright day. Surely ...

Re: Auto Headlights in rain
I have always had my lights on the auto setting. I also have the auto main beam permanently on (and auto wipers). The same as my last Volvo, and the one before that. I’d assumed the lights would do whatever the conditions required of them. It seems I was wrong and for years I’ve been driving in rain...

Re: Tiny storage place on the left side of center console
This small storage compartment only makes sense if you consider its position on a LHD car. On a LHD car it is close to the driver’s right leg and can be used to keep small change handy etc.

Re: T3 Petrol Manual clutch problems
Reading a lot on Facebook forums about clutch and gearbox woes I’ve seen the Facebook posts you refer to, and there’s an awful lot of them so I can see why you would be concerned. Having said that, I assume most T3 manual cars haven’t had this problem. The reported responses from Volvo UK and the d...

Re: Three beeps from rear of car
Is the same three beeps you hear after unsuccessful foot kick tailgate opening? I didn’t know it did that (never had a problem opening with my foot). However, I’ve just gone out to my car (without key) and tried to open the tailgate with my foot. And yes, those are the three beeps I sometimes hear....

Re: Dab radio station images
Mine’s the same. Just the name of the station. No artwork, or info. My last Volvo was an XC60 running Sensus software and that would show the station artwork plus any programme / artist / track info the station had broadcast. I’ve also found that my XC40 doesn’t find some of the local stations on DA...

Three beeps from rear of car
I’ve noticed in the past that sometimes, when I walk past the rear of my car, it emits three beeps. It did it again yesterday and I wondered if anyone can tell me what it is doing. When it did it yesterday, it had been parked and locked for around 24 hours. My car does have keyless entry and a hands...

Re: Audi refugee pondering possible Spec losses after order
Look at the NIssan Qashqai Agreed. I looked at the Qashqai before buying my XC40 and was very impressed. I was also very impressed by the Hyundai Tucson; very nearly bought one. I sometimes wish I had. The spec was so much higher than anything Volvo had on offer. No chip shortages. If someone parks...

Re: Tyre pressure status in Volvo App
Just to clarify before somebody picks me up on the finer points: the app doesn’t specifically say the tyres are OK, it says “everything looks good”but my phone app says tyres are OK.

Re: Tyre pressure status in Volvo App
Just installed an App update on iPhone 5.27.0 & looks like it’s been fixed …. Reports “Everything looks good” I’m also running 5.27.0 on my iPhone, but the app is still not picking up tyre issues. Another puncture today (same tyre as last month) and I’m running around on my skinny tempa spare. ...
