Illuminated gear knob
Hi
Just wondering if anyone has a My17 v40 cc pro geartronic and can tell me if their gear knob is illuminated please? In the sales book it says that it is illuminated in geartronics but mine isn't and when I asked at the garage they said the theatre light illuminates it, well it doesn't! Just wondered if it should and if it's standard will take it back to be fixed. Thanks.

I have a 2016 model year V40 T2 geartronic and the gear nob is not illuminated.
Looking at the specifications it appears that only the R Design models have an illuminated gear nob as standard. The winter pack plus includes illuminated gear nob so if you have that option on your car then it should be illuminated. WINTER PLUS PACK Active Bending LED Headlights Heated Front Seats Heated Front Windscreen Headlight Cleaning System Rain Sensor - Automatic Windscreen Wiper Activation Rear Reading, Theatre and Front Door Side Step Illumination Illuminated Gear Knob |

Just checked mine.
Yes it does illuminate. What advantage that has I dont know. I never have had trouble in finding the gear lever in the dark before!

Makes no difference at all, but it's the principle of if the manufacturer states it does then it should!

My spec does sound much like yours and i do have an illuminated gear knob.
Armed with that info., I personally would now be confident in either phoning the Volvo UK customer serices, (I found them good when I had a prob. with my last Volvo) or pay a visit to the nearest Volvo main dealer. I agree 100% with you, if it should be there, sort it! Its well within the warranty period.

Mine doesn't either, so asked at my dealer and I'm afraid you have to have the winter pack plus for that now!
