Confused by latest Volvo Email?

tem · Oct 21st, 2019, 17:55

I am sure others will get this as well, but I am not sure what it is all about.
Mail from Volvo U.K. addressed personally:

Add the latest Intellisafe features to your V90 from just £75.
It mentions three things.
Blis - Not applicable to my car, as I do not have the hardware fitted.
Oncoming Lane Mitigation and Oncoming Mitigation by Braking, I thought that I have these features already.

Can anyone say what this sales pitch, is all about?
Thanks,

tem.

Ha ! I was just writing the exact same thing !

it all depends which model; year car you have and which original options fitted. Somewhere I came across the list of what upgrade options there are, but can't find it now. One would hope (!) your dealer would be able to clarify from your car spec.

For me, S90 2017 with all the options, I thinkl the upgrade would be the on coming mitigation and rear blis steering.

Thanks Paul, I'm now even more confused

As the old saying goes, " I used to be confused, now I'm not too sure".
I've got Blis, cross traffic alert and god knows what else. Haven't a clue what numbers such as 603 mean.. When I get home next week I'll pop into my dealer and have a chat. Need to see if a software update will sort out my gearbox as some suggest. It's ****.
On a serious note, wouldn't it be good to get a piece of paper with software updates saying what has been altered and how

ha - the dealers don't know, and I suspect Volvo UK don't either! Though the main changes are given here:
