XC60 2021 Model.

The air conditioning can operate on automatic. However when I press the auto climate for a long or a short time nothing happens. What am I doing wrong? Also the heated seats should auto start but I can't get the circular A to come up. Any ideas please. Thanks

Auto climate can be a bit subtle - pressing auto climate may not appear to have an immediate effect but it should gradually raise (or lower) the cabin temperature to the desired temperature. It depends on fan speed, which can be raised or lowered. I THINK it defaults to '3' which is the middle of its range.

Auto start for heated seats only works when outside temperatures are below 10C.

Thanks for the information I will try that tomorrow. Where did you find the figure of 10C for heated seats working on auto.

I think I read it on a forum and it is how my two XC60s have behaved. It's not specified in the Volvo manual, which just refers to 'low ambient temperature'.
