> Recent Minor Issues... With My 06 S40

the outside temp display is saying its *30F when its really 70F outside. I noticed that after a rain, it acts up for a while. this is covered by my pre-owned volvo warranty, just haven't brought it in yet.
Also, when I have it on VENT and FLOOR the vent gets 90% and the floor would get maybe 10% if not less. But oddly, since I called the service shop about it, I cannot replicate the issue.

I also read in the manual that if you hit the unlock twice, and hold it, all windows go down. Mine do not... does this feature have to get programmed in to the ECU? I know that when my drivers side window switch one touch feature didn't work, they had to reprogram the button at a fee of $37.00.

Lastly, when I have the wipers going, it sounds like metal to metal hitting, but not hard or harsh sounding.


Anyone else have these minor issues?

HI,
I just tried out the unlock button and hold it, and it doesnt do anything.
Never heard about that function before , but tomorrow i'll go to Volvo to ask them why it doesnt do if its supposed to.

there's a problem with your ambient temperature sensor. does it always say 30F or does it change? if its always the same then this could be a default value for when there is a problem with the system and it may not be the sensor itself. You should get this taken care of as it could be affecting your fuel economy as the computer does not know the temperature outside and doesn't know how much fuel it should use for the exact 14.7:1 ratio

hi,
It works .. at least on the 2009 one.
it also works for closing them

just press it once, to unlock the car
then the second time you press it, keep it pressed untill all the windows open (should be about 5-10 seconds)

Same goes for closing them again
Press the lock button
then press it again while holding it this time

i wouldn't really miss that function if it wouldn't be there .. it's mainly for show imo (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Re the windows down function, RTFM. It is in a menu. Also, the auto up feature is disabled on NA vehicles, due to fools and lawyers. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
