Things that are annoying

[lordlichfield]

Another one, hopefully my pdc isn't faulty but I've found when reversing (not the "found a space, need to get into it before the bloke behind me" speed, but very slow) that the time between the beeps is very short before you get the continuous long tone. It's a bit like

-------- ---- -- - rather than a gradual ------- ------ ----- ---- ---

On all the cars I've had (including the XC90) when manoeuvring at a uniform low speed (i.e just using transmission creep) the beeps took longer to get to the continuous long one.

Dealer says PDC distancing/abruptness can't be changed.

I was shocked to realise that when I had a 2016 Merc C class loaner, the EPB was in the same position to ours!!

When I had a v60 auto loan car, the stop start only seemed to stop when you were sat with your foot on the brake. Was very annoying as it started as soon as you removed the foot even if handbrake was on.

My bonnet does not shut tight
No space saver wheel as standard
Bongs near speed cameras but does not tell you max speed unless you are in sat nav
No cargo nets in boot
But love my xc60

I forked out the extra £125 for the "tempa spare" - glad I did - car delivered on a Tuesday, puncture on the Saturday and it was a deep long cut that i doubt the can of hairspray that you get would have dealt with.... Took Kwik Fit until the following Thursday to get a matching tyre.

With the rear seats folded down, the headrests overhang the seat bases’.
This is very restictive as in all my previous cars, I was able to put all my boxes that I need for my hobby in the rear foot wells.

Where did you think they where going to go to?

Just an omission on my part.

yes ! it is still as annoying , very disconcerting when it stops just as you want to pull out onto the main road . The programming is wrong , it should only work after the handbrake is applied on autos . Maybe no one is complaining to the factory about it . How do other makes manage stop/start on autos ?

Assuming the climate control has just one sensor how does it separate the controlled temperature zone if two separate temperatures are set?

It is supposed to save up to 8% in traffic , it depends how slow the traffic is though and for how long you are stopped .
