Newbie - Locking Question
 

Hi All

I have recently become the owner of a 2012 V40 SE NAV
Liking the car a lot!
I have come across an issue with a lock but have read through some posts and it seems to be a common issue with the actuators (I think)
I am taking the car back under warranty but my question really concerns something else
On the drivers door there is a toggle switch that shows the usual 'Lock' symbol in both a locked and unlocked state
This has been unresponsive since I first got the car and I am assuming it's for the central locking
Would someone be able to answer if there is a setting that would render the switch inoperative, something I have missed?
If not I will get them to sort this out at the same time
Thanks in advance
Graham

You've not missed anything. The toggle switch does just as you say, locks/unlocks central locking - no settings to stop it working. Another warranty problem to be mended I'm afraid.

Thanks Fantastic
Will get them to take a look
With regard to the lock issue...
I've just read through the warranty booklet and it states that I'm not covered for 'parts which fail as a result of commonly known design faults'
As the lock is a common fault I guess I have a argument on my hands
Wish me luck!

grumward, there's not been any official Volvo recall on locks so I would argue that it's not a 'common fault' and not a 'design fault'. It's just that some break and stop working 😉

Good point, well made
Thanks again Fantastic
Will get in touch with them, maybe even post the outcome:thumbs_up:
