Re: New owner, couple of questions
I think it continues to show Pure (or Individual) mode on the display.

Re: New owner, couple of questions
The only thing I know is if you set a destination in the Satnav, it attempts to decide how to use the battery and engine. I seem to recall that only works if the journey is 50 or 60 miles. It never worked for me, so I use Pure (actually Individual) mode locally and on a journey switch battery save o...

Re: What app do I need for Android tablet?
The app used to work on my Android 7 tablet (WiFi only). Latest version doesn't and Volvo said it's no longer supported. Same issue with Amazon app. They stopped showing up in the Play Store.

Re: New owner, couple of questions
The car defaults to hybrid mode every time and then it's up to you to change to another mode. I've set an Individual mode, which is Pure mode but with normal climate control which avoids the occasional misting up which occurs in Pure mode. Sometimes my car finds the need to start the engine and run ...

Re: PHEV battery usage
I've had my T5 two years now so I've forgotten what the manual might say but I don't recall it saying what you read Bamber. Eco mode will always run the battery right out and then start the engine. It's our normal mode driving locally. I've always assumed the 12v battery in the boot starts the engin...

Re: 2nd year service???
2nd year service done last month at 17000 miles. Changed air filter and spark plugs (despite no more than 4000 of the 17000 was using the engine). Also changed the transmission fluid. No idea why but as I want paying, I don't much care.

Re: Phev charge function
Never use it. However I do use the battery save function on any journey where the going is more than 50 mph and make sure I have battery available for the town bits.

Re: XC 40 car cover
Larry's quite right there. Even the soft lined ones with ties that go under the car will move and chafe.. Last time I overwintered a car outdoors, I cleaned it thoroughly and waxed it leaving the wax on and kept an eye out to remove any bird poo. I've used a tailored cover for the hood of a converti...

Re: Tiny storage place on the left side of center console
I've always understood it covers an access panel for something or other relating to the car's build.

Re: Buying a Xc40 2020
Driver's door mirror failed to dip on reversing after 6 months and was replaced under warranty at the first service. Coming up to it's second service and the only thing I need to report is a slight zizz noise from the console vibrating on occasion. Otherwise all good. Volvo are frequently tweaking t...
