menu access ex30
I am very interested in the EX30 twin motor. I like the looks and the power!
However - AutoCar has strongly recommended that you don't buy this car (there is a thread on this somewhere but I can't findit). They say that trawling through sub menus for simple things like: fog lights / adjusting the wiper speed / adjusting lights and so on - is downright dangerous and could lead to serious accidents. I have a Tesla M3 which I absolutely love and this car has the ability to place all sub menu icons needed - onto the taskbar at the bottom of the main screen so they can be selected in one move. So no prolonged searching for items with eyes off the road! So a question for current users please: 1. Can required services (icons) be placed on the main screen front page? 2. IF the answer to 1 is a 'no', how dangerous/time consuming is it trying to locate items via sub menus - on the move? For me - this could be a make or break decision to buy. Many thanks in advance. Oh - another Q!.....Can the rear seats be dropped down to increase boot space! Thanks Z |

I had an EX30 last weekend.
The menu is clear and the most important messages are on the front of the display. A sensor for attention is new. You can't switch it off and it beeps as soon as you don't look in the direction of travel for more than four seconds. |

No, you can't place them anywhere. They follow Volvo's own logic. As I said, the most important settings are directly on the display. Volvo has been preventing all searching in submenus while driving for several years now.
It really takes some getting used to: - Front and rear windshield wipers via touch buttons on the indicator lever - Drive mode switch on the right-hand gearshift on the steering wheel. But once you've driven for a day, you get used to it. I think the leg rest is a bit too short. Otherwise it drives like a go-kart. Then I got into my XC60. That's in a different league, of course.
