Volvo cars app - MPG wrong

Ap41 · Dec 17th, 2021, 16:19

Just picked up a V90 and noticed the mpg in the driving journal reported in the cars app is lower than shown on the car. I’m guessing it is showing US mpg rather than UK mpg, any way to change this?

Edit:- Just to add the temperature is also in Fahrenheit which also makes me think it believes I’m US based

You can change it under the Account Settings (bottom right hand 'person' icon) on the home screen. Hope this helps.

Click on the person icon at the bottom right of your app screen, go to app settings, scroll to Units and you can change Distance, Volume and Temperature to suit your situation.

Hope this helps.

I don’t seem to have a units option in the app settings tab?

What app version do you have - maybe I need to revert to the previous one?

Well that’s strange.

Just downloaded the app onto my iPad and it is exactly the same i.e. no units option, however the mpg is correct and the temperature is in Celsius.

Hopefully not to add confusion but I have the same version as you (5.8.0) and I have the Units section showing.
I notice you have face recognition in security. I dont have that option to select and use screen lock.
Maybe that is something to do with it althought I cant imagine why it would be.
