Follow me home lights on Volvo V40 Cross Country

[rx6180]

Hi. I've just bought a 2015 V40 Cross Country 2.0 D2 Lux with 16,000 miles on the clock, ex Motorbility, from a used car supermarket near me. Previously I have owned a C30 1.6 DRIVe.

I find it odd that the hazard lights do not flash on the Cross Country when I lock and unlock it like they did on the C30. Also, despite the button for 'Follow Me Home' lights being on the key fob, there is no function, nor do the lights come on when I operate the flasher stalk. In the Sensus menu, I can find lots of settings to alter, but the one labeled Lights is 'greyed out', i.e. I cannot open that menu. Nor do I seem able to access an oil level readout from the display in the middle of the speedometer. The icon is there, but also 'greyed out' and inaccessible. I can access service information like miles to next service, but not the oil level. It seems odd to me I can't see the oil level in my car unless the car decides it is too low and flashes a red warning triangle!

The driver's handbook merely states, while listing everything a car could be fitted with, that some functions are only available as options, or only available in certain markets.

So is it right then that my car might not be fitted with flashing lights to confirm locking and unlocking, 'Follow Me Home' lights even though the button is on the fob, and a way of checking the engine oil, even though its got leather seats, DAB radio and power folding mirrors? Or is something broken and I need to return to the car supermarket for a fix?
