Hi all,

I collected my 2025 B4 plus black edition last week and am very happy with it ( fuel comsumption is a little concerning, hoping it improves as things settle down) however I just noticed tonight whilst driving home that it has no audible indicator clicking sound just the flashing left or right arrow. Is this normal or have I managed to turn the sound off in a setting that I now can't find or is it a fault?

I have stopped and restarted the ignition/engine several times to no avail. Any input to my little mystery welcome.

This is normally accompanied by no sound from the entertainment system. A reset by holding the home button for 30+ seconds should reset the sounds

There is a very distinct click to the indicator, other posts on here comment that at times it seems to miss a beat which has been put down to deliberate to remind you it's active. Definitely a fault if continuing no click.

Thank you Felindre, my indicators miss a beat occasionally, I didn’t realise it is intentional. That saved me £170 diagnostic charge by the garage, which I’m sure they would charge even if they know of it.

The later AAOS cars don't miss a beat unlike the earlier Sensus ones.

No clicking definitely isn't right and if the infotainment reset doesn't fix it then it needs referring to the dealer.

Edit: Sorry I see it's sorted now. The magic reset seems to be required often to fix things especially after software updates. Glad you are enjoying the car.

Surprised at your mpg as I find it very good for the type of car, are you doing short or city driving?

Hi Chris,

My AAOS equipped XC40 didn't do the "miss a beat" trick until just last week, since when it has occurred on several occasions. I was used to it on my previous Sensus car and was pleased that it had had been removed on the AAOS car. But now it's back :-(
Cheers,
Ron

Ron, I've not had it happen once since owning the car for over a year. Was a bit strange at first as had got used to the idiosyncrasy of it in the first car.

I take it this is since the software update?

Hi Chris,

The software update occurred a few weeks ago on my car, so it has taken a little time to kick in if it was caused by the recent update.
Cheers,
Ron
