I've not noticed this - what does it do?

In my Volvo post service research questionnaire I stated that Volvo U.K. should give customers a simple printout of the key/major features of the latest applied software updates.

IMHO Volvo need to be more proactive in informing their customers just what a great product their cars are.........!!

100% agree
mine was in for a service and the only thing i was told was the tire tread depths. new features should be highlighted as surely a new safety feature
should be mentioned. bugs me i have literally no idea what they did all day to the car.

Amazing what Google can tell you when the dealer doesn't - very clever!

Hi

Had my V90 CC serviced at the end of August so 12 months since the last update

The outward has made a big difference especially in ECO mode were the drive engages after coasting and pull away from rest

One negative is a screech on disconnection of phone calls, using my iPhone

Have a read of the below thread esp. Post No 19.
Should become clearer then!

How to check which version we have on our Volvos?

I also noticed after the update that the stop/start seems a lot less aggressive, it no longer cuts out before coming to a complete stop. That alone makes the update worthwhile. The smoother shifts are a welcome bonus.

I've only had my XC60 for 1 week and got my first notification from Sensus that there is a software update available.

When I click on the alert, it takes me to the software update screen which shows system updates and application updates.

On that screen, it then shows there are no software updates available. Am I doing something wrong?

Not necessarily. Look at the Map Updates tab too.
