Hi Jeb! I watched ALL your xc40 recharge videos before I brought one home 2 months ago. Thanks and best wishes from Volvo owners and your fans in India. All your videos are really informative and I know one Volvo sales guy also who refers to your videos! Great work!!
Thanks so much, that is very kind of you. I am glad you are liking the XC40. Please do let me know if there is any content that needs to be featured. All the best to you and to Volvo drivers in India! Appreciate you watching.
Absolutely superb video, and extremely helpful. I'm thinking about purchasing XC60 and it's really useful to see all these features close up and in action. Thank you.. thumbs up from me!! 👍- Neil (UK)
Love your videos Jebbie! I kid you not..There is no other video on RUclips that covers the ‘tilt side mirror while reversing’ topic so well. I remember the first day I took delivery of my xc60 and was struggling to find parking in Brooklyn and I had the Auto Tilt while reverse enabled. I watched it tilt when I put it in reverse and thought that’s really sweet but was really confused when it remained tilted even after I put it back in drive. I turned that setting off and have never bothered about it for the past 5 months.. I am going to check it out now 😃
Thanks so much. I love dropping those mirrors. Have to admit the most sickening sound for any new car owner is scratching your rims. Dropping that mirror really helps avoid that. Thanks for watching.
Agreed I had someone else comment on this recently. I am definitely not advocating for anyone to not use mirrors and looking out. Best to use all the tools available including the traditional methods combined with cameras, sensors and the safety systems. Thanks for watching.
You're doing the Lord's work, @JebRevsUp ! My wife and I will be picking up our car hopefully on Friday and have sent this to her so we can both brush up on our camera skills. Like you we have grown up and been driving without them for 20+ years but with the poor visibility in the XC40 using the 360 and cams will be paramount. Love the demo! I wish we lived in Maryland so we could have bought our Volvo from you. ;-)
Just great, Jebbie! I wish I knew about this the week I bought my car (2024 S60 T8). Now own it 3 months and I am so grateful for your help! I have more to watch, but I hope you covered a lot about battery management! (What are the impacts on battery life of various settings.). Can I time the charger to run at off-peak rates? I look forward to whatever you create!
Great video and a great series, thanks. My 2021 XC40 had automatic parking which was a fantastic feature that I used frequently when reverse parking in a narrow street. I was very sad to see that Volvo removed it from new XC40s, especially as it’s now increasingly being included as standard in many cheaper cars. However your explanation about the parking lines and mirrors is very helpful. There’s also a setting to have both mirrors tilt down automatically when the car is in reverse, but now I’ll switch to your method of button pushing as I often want to see traffic coming behind me before parking or leaving a parking spot, which is hard to do when the mirrors are both tilted.
Appreciate your comment. I love 360 cameras and Volvos system is one of its best features. Super crisp image and easy to switch cameras. Thanks so much for watching
It’s unfortunate that Volvo doesn’t show both the rear view and 360 view simultaneously. Switching views while moving in tight spaces is dangerous. The screen is large enough for both views. Cars with smaller screens do this well.
Hi, I see why you would say that if you have moved from Audi as an example and you moved to Volvo. I personally find the Volvo system easier because I use it so often compared to other brands. A large 360 view and sensitive sensors usually work well if you do it a few times. I would find the Audi confusing as there is too much information showed at one time. It really doesn’t matter how your system is displayed but how you use it. That was the reason for making the video. If you have just moved to Volvo please do try and he system I put because it does work well if you get used to it. Thanks for commenting
@@JebRevsUp I appreciate your videos. I was looking for tips on my new S60 and came across your channel. With time I'll develop a new flow but I'm still in the adjustment phase. My experience tonight: When driving into a parking spot I went to turn on the 360 camera. That took multiple taps. I had to stop to do so. Once it was on I needed to back up to reposition. That took away the 360 view to turn on the rear camera which I didn't need. Then to pull forward I had to tap the screen multiple times again. Again, I had to stop so I could look at the tap target which took two attempts to hit. So what could have been a smooth process was disruptive. Then when pulling into my garage the 360 camera didn't turn on until I was already past the door frame -- so too late. Had I turned it on manually I would have had to stop to tap the screen several times then start moving again. During this time the engine would have shut off then restarted, adding inefficiency.
Learn a lot from this video even though I own a VW Tiguan! 😃 One thing I don’t like is parking in the kerbside at night and no pole light or side mirror light to help you see the kerbside in the dark (no VW feature). Is Volvo have this feature?
That’s a great question. I’m not aware of any lighting like that. I will definitely b trying that out to see. However the cameras are really good on the Volvo and the view on screen is big. I find it to be a very user friendly system that is clear. Hope we can welcome you to the Volvo family one day ! Appreciate you watching and commenting.
I really hope when you reverse you could have both back up camera on the bottom and 360 on the top, i mean serious, all the car i drove before have both functions showing at the same time, such a deal breaker for me not picking XC40
Tu everyone has different preferences, there is nothing wrong with that at all. I get to drive a lot of different cars and ironically I have the opposite problem. I have gotten so used to parking with the Volvo system. As an example I drove a new Mazda CX5. Big shout out to them for hugely improved camera quality! However I struggle a little with using a small 360 like that and too many views on one screen. That was one of the reasons for making the video, if you use a system a few times it will become very user friendly. I am huge evangelist of the XC40 and would love it you would give another try! Please consider some other reasons to like the car. 1. Boron steel construction- please see how intact the cabin stays is this video. It is the reason my son only travels in Volvo’s- ruclips.net/video/1axWGCNoz5Q/видео.html Secondly the XC40 has a perfect footprint for cities, small and easy to park but both cargo and cabin fit a wide variety of loading- ruclips.net/video/I2X1k1Y9LV4/видео.html Thanks for commenting
Hi, Just my opinion but I'd like to offer balance for the advice heard here. At 8:24 it proves that the driver does not trust the monitor he is teaching you to use. the monitor 360 cam showed he had room to continue the turn past the bumper and he saw out his windshield that he was too close for comfort. So I suggest you first and foremost park using your eyes out your window, just as this driver did to make the first and final decision. Also learn how to use your mirrors when backing up. I only use the 360 to verify a question in my mind on occasion.
Thanks for watching. Yes definitely still important to look out and use mirrors but also use the cameras and sensors as tools to help. Appreciate you commenting!
Oh I completely understand that. I have seen parallel parked cars so close they are like sardines in many European cities. I have no idea how owners get those cars in there. Thanks for the post!
We traded in our 2018 VW Golf for the Volvo XC 40. The golf had a huge info screen. So does the XC 40. However on the Golf the whole screen was the back up camera. On the XC 40 only half the screen is the camera. Not sure why the whole screen isn't used.
Not sure why they used half the screen either. I can’t say that has been a problem for me either. However people coming from other cars will always prefer certain things Golf is also a great car. Over the years I have had three GTIs, it was that good a car it had to be repeated. If you like that drive of the golf then you really leave the XC40 Recharge over time because it really feels like a EV hot hatch but with more space and SUV features.
Thanks Jebbie for this, but I wonder if the adaptive cruise distance to the car in front, is measured in time not car-lengths? As speed increases the safe separation between cars, also increase and the only way to control this is by time (typical 3 seconds). What do you think, or have I misunderstood it?
You are correct and it has been brought up before. That is why I made a correction in about section. Although it is easier to talk about them as spaces because that's visible. But it is a very important point that it varies with speed.
So just noticed, the automatic parking was removed on the newer versions? I had it even in my Nissan Qashqai - but only used it once... using the cameras inspires more confidence to me then a car parking by himself :D
Daniel I agree with you on park pilot assist. It definitely isn't as good a system as pilot assist. I do talk to a lot of Volvo owners and I know many wish it were still there so I do hope it gets brought back at some point. Thanks for commenting and wish you a happy 2023
Thanks again for supporting and commenting. I really love the feature of dropping the mirror by pressing the mirror switch. Makes it so much easier to park.
Thanks again for this comment. I was able to download it from the play store in the car and my version is 23.1.52 updated march 23. I am just wondering if it might not work internationally. You may want to ask your local dealer if anyone is having the same issue in India. Hope that helps. Thanks
@@JebRevsUp Thanks again, I have installed the app but looks like the Amazon Music app is limited. I have reviewed several fora online where people are facing the same challenge. Have a great time! 🙂
Thanks for that. My go to is Spotify and that really works well. On a side note, you should try out an app called Tubi. Nice to get some video and am really keeping my fingers crossed that we get a RUclips app one day soon. Enjoy the car sir!
I not only have Amazon music. I have Amazon prime video in my car. Seriously happy about all the new apps that have recently come out on the play store!
Are you sure your model has it? Check under the mirrors and confirm they are cameras as well the Volvo badge in the front. If there are cameras and there is no 360 then you need to call your dealership to figure out the problem. If not there then you most likely have a core model or a non advanced package car if it is prior to 2022. Hope that helps
Hi Tan, I'm not sure I understand the question but am assuming you are asking about sensor and camera positions. The sensors are in both bumpers and look like small circles. The cameras for 360 camera are in the front grill, back and underneath each sid mirror. Hope that helps, thanks for watching
Im a human from stone age. I dont want 360 camera. How can i disable it. It always come up at low speed and when there sth come close to the car. I dont like 360 camera pop up automatically. Can i disable that function?
Thanks for the comment. I completely understand. Unfortunately you cannot disable that feature as far as I am aware but I will check on that too. It doesn't just come on at slower speed, you need to be in close proximity to a threat. So it is nice to have the visual warning. You could try tapping on the camera icon or home button. I have never tried but will do so in future.
The reverse camera in the C40 is the worst system I have ever used. - the extreme fisheye view is useless for judging distance and gives you horrible situational awareness. My wife has a Range Rover Evoque, that’s a similar sized and priced car and you cannot compare the two. - the sensors beep impending collision when you are nowhere near hitting something. I know Volvo want to keep you safe, but when everything is “danger, nothing is danger. - the reverse lights are too weak. You just can’t see behind you. - the camera is too exposed to water dropping off the trunk and you need to wipe it every time you go out or it’s fuzzy. This Volvo C40 one of the hardest cars I have owned to “place” when parking and reversing and that’s saying a lot. My Range Rover Defender 90 (latest version) was easier to park, as was my full sized Land Rover Discovery. Frankly this car is less confident to reverse than any of the sports cars I’ve owned (R8, V12 Vantage, Alfa 4C, Porsche etc). It’s perplexing considering their whole “safety” angle and frankly it wouldn’t cost much to fix. The rest of the car is pretty good.
Barry you have very good car history, and have had some great cars. I hope an EX90 order is in your future as I believe a car enthusiast like you would probably be an early adopter of a next generation EV. I totally understand that not everyone is going to like or relate to every car the same or like how all the technology the same. I have not tried out the new Landry cameras but I do believe the 3D system is quite nice. When I was at BMW many clients had similar opposing views about X4and X6 vs an X5 for example and I know fully understand that the shape and reduced visibility of the swept back SUV means additional need for cameras to be good and is controversial. yesterday I was following a colleague as we were leaving work and the back of the C40 all lit up is so futuristic and beautiful at night. It scores so high in design for me. It also drives really well and for a lot of buyers it ticks off the boxes in safety and sustainability categories. Because I park so many cars everyday I decided to do this video to help everyone use cameras better and I hope this does help with your C40. Thanks for commenting.
8:55: I do understand that this is a demonstration, but in real life, it would be pretty dumb to stop there. Just go through into the next spot, and you won't have to reverse out. The less reversing, the less risk.
Oh I am with you. I’m a real world owner. But the one thing I have started doing is always using it to drive forward into a spot too. This way you can be right in the middle! Thanks
Jebbie does a great job explaining and demonstrating Cameras, Google Infotaninment etc on Volvo XC40
Thanks so much. Enjoy the XC40!
Love the series and this is super helpful for new XC40 owners. Please make more of these tutorial vids!
Thanks so much please do let me know if there is anything you think needs to be featured
This is the best clear video I have seen yet for the volvo!
Thanks so much. Enjoy your Volvo!
Very impressive parking with the cameras! Also love the Volvo how to series, it seems you know much more in-depth than my Volvo dealership
Thanks so much. I appreciate that and am glad you found that helpful. Enjoy your Volvo
Excellent series of videos, well researched and presented. Please keep them coming.

Congratulations on the new XC40! Even though I no longer work for Volvo, thanks for your loyalty!
I really do learn something new in each of your videos - to drop an individual mirror down when in R > great tip
That's my favorite one. We often get cars without 360 cameras and dropping the mirror really helps. Thanks again for commenting.

Does the volvo XC40 not come with auto parking
Park assist pilot is available on some Volvos with Sensus systems but is usually a stand alone extra package on cars that have it available.
I can’t switch to the 360 camera, no matter where I click. Help? It’s a new 2023 xc40 car
Are you sure your model has it? Check under the mirrors and confirm they are cameras as well the Volvo badge in the front. If there are cameras and there is no 360 then you need to call your dealership to figure out the problem. If not there then you most likely have a core model or a non advanced package car if it is prior to 2022. Hope that helps
please show front sensor Left and right surrounded. my xc60 isn't got surrounded it L and R
Hi Tan, I'm not sure I understand the question but am assuming you are asking about sensor and camera positions. The sensors are in both bumpers and look like small circles. The cameras for 360 camera are in the front grill, back and underneath each sid mirror. Hope that helps, thanks for watching

It's bizarre that new Volvo's don't offer Parking Assist Pilot anymore (afaik). Even my 2018 Audi does autoparking 🙄.
I agree with you on this one. The older Volvos had this feature. I really hope it is brought back.
They need to release software update for auto park which vw q4 has as a basic option
I totally agree with you that park pilot assist is missed by a lot of legacy owners
The reverse camera in the C40 is the worst system I have ever used.
- the extreme fisheye view is useless for judging distance and gives you horrible situational awareness. My wife has a Range Rover Evoque, that’s a similar sized and priced car and you cannot compare the two.
- the sensors beep impending collision when you are nowhere near hitting something. I know Volvo want to keep you safe, but when everything is “danger, nothing is danger.
- the reverse lights are too weak. You just can’t see behind you.
- the camera is too exposed to water dropping off the trunk and you need to wipe it every time you go out or it’s fuzzy.
This Volvo C40 one of the hardest cars I have owned to “place” when parking and reversing and that’s saying a lot.
My Range Rover Defender 90 (latest version) was easier to park, as was my full sized Land Rover Discovery.
Frankly this car is less confident to reverse than any of the sports cars I’ve owned (R8, V12 Vantage, Alfa 4C, Porsche etc). It’s perplexing considering their whole “safety” angle and frankly it wouldn’t cost much to fix.
The rest of the car is pretty good.
Barry you have very good car history, and have had some great cars. I hope an EX90 order is in your future as I believe a car enthusiast like you would probably be an early adopter of a next generation EV.
I totally understand that not everyone is going to like or relate to every car the same or like how all the technology the same. I have not tried out the new Landry cameras but I do believe the 3D system is quite nice.
