A very useful feature in our usual summer heatwaves in the UK!! you can press & hold the unlock button & the windows go down before you have to get in so letting out the hot air.
Also - When you enter the car and get in, prior to starting you place your fob in.. Your cars sidelights will come on, if for whatever reason you want your full headlights to come on without starting the engine then simply HOLD the start engine button for a few seconds, this will also allow the heating to work without the engine engaged as well
@@klr142 Nobody is saying otherwise, I assume you can see something I can't in the comment?? The youtuber asked if there was anything else - I'm saying what he didn't
Found another nice thing by my self. I got automatic, I guess it will work with the manual as well. When reverse are in and you shall do a reverseparking and your sidemirrors are perfect for road but you are not seeing correctly when parking. Then press L or R and each mirror will automatically adjust into parkingmode. Press L or R or put P or D in and the mirrors adjusts to where it was before parking. Neat little trick.
@@Necronomous , it is called something like "mirror tilt" in the menu, it is not that obvious what it does, you can set the function on each mirror separately. With my car I found the angle was too steep and I lost view of behind the car. The tilting action is also slow in both directions and I found it more distracting than useful.
@@g0fvt Ok, well I only use 1 mirror tilted and one straight when I rreversing the car. As a truckdriver I am used to see lines and shit, which I only can do in a truckmirror.
When you get out the car, lock it and are half way up your drive - You suddenly realise that you've left the windows down.... What shall we do?! Okay, so instead of just quickly pressing the lock key on the fob, try holding it for 3-4 seconds, this will then automatically put all open windows into the fully shut and locked position as well as locking the car :)
@@edvinas8621 and Vauxhall does this even on like 96 cars with or without a key fob, just turn the key in the lock and hold it there and the windows go up 🙂
I myself knew about the wipers and their service mode and the folding of the mirrors but no the angling of them, but you can also choose to activate the folding when you lock the car in the vehicle settings menu so that every time you lock it the mirrors fold and when you unlock it they fold back out again
Yes that’s a pretty standard thing and I believe the car will do it without changing anything but it’s worth noting if one gets stuck so you can turn it off so it won’t try to fold back in once you’ve got it folded out.
The rearview mirrors moving to point down when you put it in reverse is a programmable setting on at least the 2014+ cars. There may or may not have been a software update to earlier cars that allows this to be user programmable as well, but I don't know. Cool on the follow me home feature. I have settings in my 2014 for how long it lasts but didn't know how to activate it. Thanks!
Hi, I just bought a 2013 XC70 Premier Plus and it’s missing some things that I feel like it should have. Are these all extra packages: Folding mirrors BLIS I have the PCC remote but no remote start.
You know,the are not hidden features. They can be found in the owner’s manual. I recommend taking some time reading it. It can be fun discovering stuff that your car has and you just cannot see.
@@firstnamelastname6193 I don’t see why you have a problem with my comment. I really apreciate DriveLife Channel and all of his work,but what i was trying to actually say is that those things are not hidden ,but they are for everyone to see.And all of them in the owner’s manual.There are plenty more.I discovered lots of stuff that really helped and made my driving more fun. Like on the xc90 for example...the side mirrors don’t defeost by themselves like in the s80.I have friends that did not knew that. How to initiate auto door locking and many more.
For follow me home lights do you have to pull indicatior stalk everytime you turn the engine off or do you pull stalk once and it permanently leave follow home lights on everytime you turn off engine and lock car ?
I have issue with my volvo, doors are closed but on dash screen shows its its open somethimes it's disappear and with locking problem is there any whey to fix it?
@@vincentchin88 My 2010 got the feature. Just enter the car. Put in the fob, press Start/Stop for 3 seconds so the checklights shows in the console. That means you got your cars electricity on. No feets on brake, because then the car will start. Then press Read once on the side, then you can use the wheel to check engineoil level and some other stuff.
Hi I'm just want to ask you if u know about my issue have same volvo s80 and when I drive upto 40 mph the engine switch off so need to stop and start the engine again and then working again this happens only when the car slow down all lights stays on but the engine switch off any idea pls thanks
this has worked on every Volvo i've owned= '07 S80 3.2 / '11 S60 t6 and '12 V60 t4. Judging by some comments here Volvo can be quite random in their software; my '12 V60 will do the manual side mirror tricks but there is no Sensus facility to auto-fold mirrors when parking yet there is in the S80 and S60.
Did you crash a tiger 2 with your front bumper? What else could crash a Volvo bumper? 😳 Sorry for bad English, Volvo greatings from Austria. Edit. It's triggering so hard you sit on the other side 😳
Our family has now had 4 Volvos with non-leather seats & every one of them has had a crack or split in one of the squabs. When I told Volvo UK they said they had never heard of it. Maybe it's me. Note to self, buy one with leather seats next time you idiot.

That will kill your battery in short order, too.

That just basically switches on the full ignition.
not sure if 2009 has this but my 2013 has the option to make the reverse mirror angle down automatically. Very handy with curb parking
Yes! my 2010 has that
My 2009 has it

You can set the menu config to tilt the mirrors automatically when you select reverse, I found it annoying so switched the feature off. (A 2010 car)

Just a FYI you dont need to press the button again to put the mirrors back to normal position, you simply change gear out of reverse
Mine dont

@@Alexander_l322 That is why i also turn them off winter time so they don't freeze and break, otherwise it seems like a nice system

Kyle Eisenbach 2009 does it in reverse when you hold either button while engaged in reverse. It will return back to its original position when in park
A little late. But on my 07 s80 and 11 v70 i can change it to do it automatically on the screen in the car. Sorry for bad english

Yes, you need to open them.again and slam them shut :) common problem is that the switch sometimes sticks :)
I have a question. Is it possible to switch off Tire Pressure Monitor System in this car without Vida?
Btw there is start+t button in dashboard and it will show oil level 😉 not sure about this model but 2012 v60 does

Mirrors don't work on my v40 2019 model just why
Little off topic but do you know if interior parts from a s80 will work in a xc70?
Hi John, yes they should do :)
@@drivelife.channel appreciate the reply. i have an 08 xc70 thinking of changing some things out
Wonder if that side mirror thing works in my old -03 s 40? Got to test it.
Didnt work on my 2010 Volvo s80 :(
My 2012 didn’t work either but my kid’s 2013 S60 did…

Any idea how to disable the alarm?
Hey Katie, yes see my video on the "Reduced Guard" Feature :)
@@drivelife.channel thankyou.
I have an 07 S80 V8. I can't get it to say the oil level
Thanks.
The mirror trick doesn’t work on my 2010 3.2 😔
The mirrors in my 08 XC70 tip down and out when reversing, very annoying, borderline useless.
that sounds like a problem with your mirror calibration.
Did you crash a tiger 2 with your front bumper? What else could crash a Volvo bumper? 😳
Sorry for bad English, Volvo greatings from Austria.

1. Not working on manual :(

Hold down viper stock? What? At least show us how
Press UP on the wiper as if you want the wipers to activate just once, but hold it instead of releasing.
Volvos don't break down anyway

how can you know engine temperature? does not have a gauge
