The quick-fold front passenger seat in the S80 is also a chauffeur feature. Simply move the front passenger seat all the way forward, remove the headrest (if necessary), and throw a blanket over the seat back to avoid scuffing the leather. You then have a backseat in which the rear passenger can fully stretch out their legs and enjoy the rear armrest/cup holders (hence the existence of the optional refrigerator that replaces the ski hatch behind the rear armrest). As an American owner of a 2014 S80 who has driven the car 1000+ miles non-stop, I can guarantee that the fold-flat seat is an invaluable feature for you and your copilot on long trips.
You shouldn’t need to remove headrest, fold seat forward with levers, then using side slide button on passenger seat, hold head rest down and tight to seat and it travels under the glovebox. When you stop far even forwards it traps seat back pushed down.
Just found this. I am now the owner of this exact car. With the exception of the cd player everything is working well. I’ve put premium tyres on all around. When I bought it there was a different brand on each corner, 1 Firestone and three unknown budget makes. Really enjoying it and thanks to you Nathan for showing me round!
Bill thank you for getting in touch and I am delighted to hear the car is performing well and went out your way to comment. It’s one of a kind and if circumstances were different I would’ve loved to have kept it. I hope you can restore it back to its former glory, as these things are so hard to come by now! I’m glad you enjoyed the video! : )
Another VERY useful feature or mirrors - you can adjust them through menu to look down, while driving backwards, so you can see rear wheels, both or just opposite to driver. Or you can do nothing, engage "R" and press mirror button "R", or "L", or both, but not simultaneously (or they fold, of course). Press again to return them to normal, or just disengage "R" on gearbox. Don`t know if it is standard or option, but mine have it.
A really cool feature in the PCC (personal car communicator) on the key fob - when you press the 'I' button there are little lights on the key fob that will flash. They can tell you if the car is locked or unlocked, if the alarm is armed, if the alarm has gone off recently, and the most impressive function is what they call the heart beat monitor which can tell you if the car has been broken into and there is someone inside the car when you are within the communication range and the red lights on the key fob will beat like a heart beat. Something else handy is where the manual key slot is on the drivers door, found on the rear end of the driver door handle on the underside you'll see the slot to insert the key blade to remove a plastic cover which hides the key slot - handy if the battery goes dead or flat on you and you need to get in or lock the car. Terrific cars - incredibly good sounding V8 and as reliable as the day is long. Underrated.
I was hoping to be able to comment on something you missed - but you covered almost everything, and now I know the keyblade is quite useful. I also figured out how to use the home safe lights a few days ago thanks to a 2010 S80 brochure I found online. I've found that the high steering force level is better for winding roads with hills, you feel more in control since it's heavier. I don't think you mentioned the a button for rain sensing wipers on the wiper stalk. You can turn it on with the stalk in the off position. They are dim-witted but useful occasionally.
I love old brochures! I wasn’t aware of rain sensing wipers but I’m also not a fan of them in any car either, I like being in control of when I use them. I absolutely loathe active cruise control that changes it speeds accordingly too, I like the standard cruise control where I have full control that doesn’t slow down for you! Someone commented on this video remote start? I’m going to have a dabble with that I think!
I owned 2 S80s. Superb cars. We are now on our second S90 and have a Polestar 2. They are super cars, but nowhere near as comfortable as the S80. Enjoy!
There is another interesting feature on the key fob (at least the one I had with the V8) where you press a key and it checks if the car is locked or not, if the car is within communication range ..I have not seen that in any other car of this day and age. The one I had, also had adaptive cruise control and three way adjustable dampers which in soft setting made the car feel too undamped and bouncy and in race mode was way too harsh even on smooth roads, hence effectively forcing one to use the medium setting, just like with the steering options. Enjoy the car, and that burble of the V8, so un-Volvo like that people always struggled to locate which car made that V8 sound..
That’s an interesting feature, I haven’t come across that one yet! Thank you for sharing:) I love how people look out for the V8 but miss it because they don’t believe it’s from a Volvo 😆
The button to fold your back headrests is to fold your rear seats easier. Also, if you open the trunk, there's a little latch you can pull at the top of the trunk opening. If you pull this latch, the rear seats will fold
There is a peg attached to the headrest of the passenger seat so you can hang a jacket on. I turned off the auto mirror close when the car is locked in the winter because the frost kept it stuck shut. It's in car settings but I think your film caught it. Curiously my 2010 S80 Executive does not have the head rest button.
I did notice that peg there actually but thanks for letting me know, I was tempted to feature it but I decided not to in the end. Regardless a very cool feature, interesting that your executive doesn’t have it!
The nav screen on our S80 2007 used to rattle when going over bumbs...plus actually using it was a bit of a 'mare...it looked cool but if you knocked that lever behind the steering wheel, whilst driving, trying to get the thing to lower again was an exercise in frustration, or just good luck!
My 05 XC70 turbo has the chair pouches and the back seats and head rest recline as well and mirrors are to push to close. So wish it had the clips for headlights removal. A few cool features and at 260k miles and she still runs mint....cheers.
P3 is the Volvo models based from the EUCD platform. The P3 cars share many parts that aren't chassie related and that isn't used by the other brand's EUCD based cars. I'm sure Volvo did quite a few things to the platform to make it meet their safety standards (that would not be featured on a Mondeo).
Also… The headlights, quick removal with the metal straps yes, but if you unplug and open the main lid inside there is a lever to push across to change the lamps from RHD to LHD, great for jolly’s on the continent old boy. I used to make the change during the trip in the Chunnel. Proviso of having the Zenon and later vehicles you press button on waterfall for 15secs to swap beam.
My emergency shopping bags live in the joey pockets! I wish Volvo updated the headlight release method in 2004 - my S80 needs the front bumper corner to be removed to release the headlamps. Mostof these other features are for the P3 model only.
Even though im an American Mopar guy. My daily driver is a 2007 S80 V8 AWD. It has exhaust work and high flow air filter. Has a really nice burble at idle and very angry growl at high rpm. Just had the valve cover gaskets and timing cover gaskets replaced. It was leaking oil and killed the alternator. But it has 177k miles on it. Cost $4k US to have all the work done. But it'll go probably another 150-170k miles.
@@NathanMannin Hey Nathan I have owned the car now for only 6 weeks, but I love my S80. The car is great to drive, good power, very comfortable and a great sleeper. My car has only 87000km and a full and thorough service history. I have upgraded from the OEM wheels and given the S80 a custom exhaust so you can hear the V8. So far I think the S80 is brilliant, the Yamaha V8 is excellent and the leather interior is very high quality. Cheers
Thank you so much for the video! After a full week of scratching my head and scouring forums, I finally know where the Volvo joystick is to turn on the Navigation map. :D
Hi Nathan, been long time any more videos planned? I've just reviewed a volvo s80 myself on my channel check it out to see how the previous model compares. Hope you're keeping well 🙂
You don’t have the rigth antifreeze in it 🥲 should be a g11 which is either blue or dark green. The oe one from volvo is dar green. Putting the wrong stuff in especially in volvos will cause lots of problems on cooling system
Thank you for pointing that out, I’ll keep an eye out for that in future. Unfortunately I bought it this way and was unaware these have specific antifreeze.
@@EngineerLewis my last 2011 S60 T6 had that rain sensing button too, i only found it about a month before i sold it. I currently drive a 2013 V60 T4 which doesn't have this auto button but if you put the wipers into intermittent mode they will sweep automatically to the level of rain as needed..brilliant, no need for an extra button
We've owned a 2007 S80 D5 for about 15 years and never knew about the little levers at the bottom of the front seat to help with IKEA loading! Also, my Dad used to flip the rear headrests down when my young nephews were arguing in the back 😂
Just bought my first volvo a 25 year old V70 with 250k miles, it's far more comfortable and drives better than my Cramry with 90k miles, I gave the camry to my wife and I drive the volvo😂 love these cars
Please stop using Red Coolant in your car, the correct grade coolant to be used for the Volvo is Green Coolant, OE Volvo Coolant is best suited for the car, kind advice to get it changed immediately !!!
@@NathanMannin The different grades of coolant are for preventing corrosion in different engine block and cylinder head materials. Some are for aluminium, others for cast iron or combination of both. Great video by the way!
Dont you have the 4c suspension system on the english market,i have it on my 2007 s80 v8,and i think all v8 that was sold on the swedish market has it,
Tell that to the other 27,000 viewers on this video, not everyone has time or bothers reading the manual. So this would be hidden knowledge to most people.
Two complete engine reseals. Idler pulley, tensioner, belt, alternator, water pump, cooling fan unit, full break job, power steering high pressure and return hose replaced, fluid reservoir . Just to name a few.
It is an optional feature for simplier S80. V8 is a top of the line, that is why navy is included as standart. There are non-original navy systems, to install in that place, i have one, but broken already anyway, lol.😁
If you need to get towed, remember to lift the rubber mat behind the waterfall and insert the ‘secret key’ from the fob into the small slot, that will mechanically release the car with dead battery into neutral for towing.
I got the same exact car I get between 17 and 18 mpg around town and 21 to 23 highway also it might crappier on mine since I've got 185k miles. Also it gets about 8 to 10 mpg if you're really giving it some pedal and having fun on some back roads
Not everyone has time or bothers reading the manual. So this would be hidden information for most people, easily accessible in a quick video. Like you said, it is available online due to this video.
@@NathanMannin Problem with that approach is if the video contains ALL information or only the findings of the creator of the video. i.e. - You dont know what you eventually are not aware of.
@@linrepboras it’s a video of hidden features most owners wouldn’t otherwise know about; which I regarded the most interesting/useful. There’s no need to be pedantic about it. The vast majority of people don’t want to go out their way to break out the manual, or explore their cars for hours to find hidden features. They’d rather watch a quick video on their telephone at the convenience of any place they desire, which is exactly what this video was made for.
@@NathanMannin So all the efforts any vehicle manufacturers made designing the features as all the efforts to also explain when and how to use in the manual is useless? I doubt that the "vast majority" is both clueless and not interested in their (new or second hand) vehicle, secondly that way of reasoning you just made (people are lazy and stupid) is in that case the reason your YT-channel excists? Does your 1760 subscribers represent the "vast majority"?
@@linrepboras I never said the manual is useless, they are your words not mine. But the reality is like I said, most people don’t look through the manual or read through it in depth to find out interesting features. Your wording of “clueless stupid and lazy” is an assumption you’ve taken blown way out of proportion. There’s a reason why videos like these get high number of views, especially for my channel with it being the leading highest amount of views for the past 6 months. That in it’s own right speaks for itself, it shows a lot of people don’t take time to read the manual thoroughly, otherwise they wouldn’t need to watch a video about hidden features/tips/tricks. I feel like you’re purposely trying to be naive and show negativity for the sake of it, what are you trying to achieve or how are you adding value? You’re the only person on this comments section showing negativity whilst everyone else has given something of value or shown their appreciation. Do you go on everyone’s “hidden feature” videos and tell them to read the manual? Or just mine? I’ve said it already, but in this modern day and age where you have your phone on you at all times, people would much rather watch a quick video of a short for that matter to find out information, that is the society we live in. My RUclips channel exists because I create content I enjoy making and love sharing it, my 1760 subscribers represents hard work and people have enjoyed watching 86 of my videos. I would imagine people who are subscribed to me are car enthusiasts, so a higher percentage of them would’ve read the manual of their respective cars to find out features. However, this video reaches out to more than just my subscribers, it’s gained 25K views and not all of them will be car enthusiasts, some of them will just have this as their family car and would like to know more about it by watching a quick video, rather than studying a manual for hours.
The removal of headlights should be like this on every car

They’d rather watch a quick video on their telephone at the convenience of any place they desire, which is exactly what this video was made for.
@@NathanMannin So all the efforts any vehicle manufacturers made designing the features as all the efforts to also explain when and how to use in the manual is useless?
I doubt that the "vast majority" is both clueless and not interested in their (new or second hand) vehicle, secondly that way of reasoning you just made (people are lazy and stupid) is in that case the reason your YT-channel excists? Does your 1760 subscribers represent the "vast majority"?
@@linrepboras I never said the manual is useless, they are your words not mine. But the reality is like I said, most people don’t look through the manual or read through it in depth to find out interesting features. Your wording of “clueless stupid and lazy” is an assumption you’ve taken blown way out of proportion. There’s a reason why videos like these get high number of views, especially for my channel with it being the leading highest amount of views for the past 6 months. That in it’s own right speaks for itself, it shows a lot of people don’t take time to read the manual thoroughly, otherwise they wouldn’t need to watch a video about hidden features/tips/tricks. I feel like you’re purposely trying to be naive and show negativity for the sake of it, what are you trying to achieve or how are you adding value? You’re the only person on this comments section showing negativity whilst everyone else has given something of value or shown their appreciation. Do you go on everyone’s “hidden feature” videos and tell them to read the manual? Or just mine? I’ve said it already, but in this modern day and age where you have your phone on you at all times, people would much rather watch a quick video of a short for that matter to find out information, that is the society we live in. My RUclips channel exists because I create content I enjoy making and love sharing it, my 1760 subscribers represents hard work and people have enjoyed watching 86 of my videos. I would imagine people who are subscribed to me are car enthusiasts, so a higher percentage of them would’ve read the manual of their respective cars to find out features. However, this video reaches out to more than just my subscribers, it’s gained 25K views and not all of them will be car enthusiasts, some of them will just have this as their family car and would like to know more about it by watching a quick video, rather than studying a manual for hours.
