Driving in Mainland Europe.

[Mick787]

I recently took my UK registered XC60 D5 MY2016 to Germany for a 1355 mile round trip in 2 days. This was done at very short notice. Three of us took it in turn to drive.
What really confused me was whether there was a need for beam deflectors to be used, (the car has the bendy headlamps) and also if the speedometer gave a display in km/h.
What little information there is, is utterly confusing.
I didn't fit the beam deflectors.
I assumed the only speedometer display available is the one about the size of a little finger nail when selected by rotating the knob on the indicator stalk. The owners handbook is as much use as an ashtray on a motorcycle and the electronic handbook loaded in the car is even worse. Does any member know why Volvo is so bad with giving users information on this subject.
