Excellent Advice ! No worries about the state of the car’s appearance , typical UK weather ☔️. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I’ve owned our Volvo V70 , 2,0 litre diesel, 6 speed manual transmission for a year now. I’m now convinced Volvo is one of the best and safest cars in the world. Best regards, M. Svika 🇱🇻
Great vjdeo! My Volvo 2006 XC70 is one of the most progressive automobiles I have ever owned. The comfort features are boundless. Previously I had a newer Cadillac........it was JUNK! countless expensive mechanical problems, no reliability. I never drove my car hard. Always kept the vehicle maintained. I love my Volvo!
Press and hold lock/unlock button to close/open all windows. You don't have to hold it all times. But, if you press once again then windows will stop it that moment so you can open windows in half or third...
wow thank you very much cuz i been trying to lock the car while its running and now i know how to do it cuz i got my Honda Accord stolen few weeks ago and now i got my new v60 not trying lose it
I’m no stranger to the old cable pull-to-engage / push-to-disengage manual handbrake in the last century so I find it strange that today’s electronic equivalent of the leaver does the opposite. I’m still trying to convince my muscle memory that what was logical for cable action (pull) is actually OFF and ON is (push). LOL! My body still think otherwise but as long as I’m in charge - I’ll decide what’s what.
You need to add the worming up lock and tea part is great just should have added that doing that you void your insurance! If you do that and police see it you void your insurance and thus as you drive off you can get done for driving without insurance!
My car remote key can be removed from the key slot while the engine is running. It doesn’t have the motor pulling it in the slot so it can be pulled out any time. I do this when I have to run back in the house if I have forgotten something. Handy feature! Sometimes I can pull the key out with the engine off and it will restart without the key too! Not sure why it does that since mine doesn’t have keyless entry/go as far as I’m aware!
Of course you can remove the key from the car but you can not lock the car with the remote control of the key but only with the removal metal part of the key... Didn't think of that myself...
My s60 p3 releases the handbrake without a seat belt on. 🤔 I do it all the time due to being in a place with 2 car parks and moving it around from each carpark alot. It also releases automatically when the door is open.
Hi. I have a topdon but it will not clear the engine system service message. I want to buy a verpeek obd2 blue tooth. What Android app do you recommend for Volvo.?? Thanks.
Hi thanks for those tips I didn’t know any of them could you show me how easy it is to replace the towing I cover on the front of the bumper Volvo V 60 D5 2018 model I returned after shopping to find somebody had smashed mine off I’m not sure if it has to go into the garage or if I can do it as there appears to be something just behind the bumper that has smashed off as well thank you
A preheater is the best thing you can add to your car. After 30 minutes ice and snow is melted and the car is warm inside and the engine too. The life span of the engine will be extended too.
I agree Preheater. If you turn on your car and go away for your own comfort. I think its quite selfish. It pollutes like HELL and instead of driving of immediately actually using that wasted pollution/energy/heat... How the smoke clouds were big back in the 80'es I still remember those mornings. But its never too late to change. Preheater !!!!! (OR go electric)
Hi I tested the window opening/closing function and now the mirrors won't fold when I lock the car (2008 V70). I hope I'm not being an idiot but do you know how to reset this? thanks
Press and hold the start button with your foot *OFF* the brake and wait until the dash lights are on. Then using the info wheel scroll until the oil is displayed:)
@@drivelife.channel I've done this a number of times and can't get the oil level to pop up - XC70 D5 Auto Lux Polestar 2008. The compass in the mirror works though..:)
@@_abreZ i believe 20 seconds is enough till i put my belt on, release handbrake and check the mirrors to see who's around. It's not like you live in Siberia. That's UK
@@ioncorbu4947 i don't think it's selfish.. just trying to keep my 30 year old red block in good condition for another 30 years ;) and btw I live in finland so winters here are bit colder so it takes more time to warm up a car
The window feature was a complete WOW. Thanks from a guy who's owned a bunch of Volvos for the last 35 years.
It is common in nissan and infiniti, i own mn35
Almost every car can do this 😅

Loving the key fob window trick. Big thanks!
You're welcome!
I knew a few of these but I didn't know about the manual release for the fuel cap, very handy to know thank you... 👍
I did not know about checking the engine oil level and the warming up. Thanks for sharing

Brilliant.. thank you. Have had my v60 2 years and did not know 3 of these.
Good to know, great video, i pick up my 2013 V60 T6 R Design in a few weeks, can't wait! 😁
Didn't know about oil level either so thanks,mate!
You taught me 3-new tips! Thanks!!!!
They one with leaving the car running and taking the key is handy. That's a pretty neat trick!
I use it too, but my key, locks only driver’s door, so before getting out I need to lock all doors. V70 '08
wow thank you very much cuz i been trying to lock the car while its running and now i know how to do it cuz i got my Honda Accord stolen few weeks ago and now i got my new v60 not trying lose it
Great tip on earlier Video, don’t release handbrake… just drive against for auto release (yes If wearing seatbelt). Thank you.
Ha I didn't know about the windows. Thanks. 👍
you can also close the sunroof with the key trick if your car has one. i use it all the time on my s80 in the summer.
That detachable key thing was cool. Shame that our car doesn't really benefit from it as it doesn't have any key holes. :D Good stuff!
If you pull the handle there should be a keyhole inside it

Just to stop people blowing up! It in the insurance clause do not leave car unattended with engine running! If so insurance is void!

Where did you get the vent shades/rain guards? Been looking everywhere for them! I have a 2010 Volvo S80 3.2L.
They are from Clim Air :)
Hi will the wing mirror fold in once driving, as only fold in when lock car , not good for B road driving thanks
Thank you!
What are you using for that odo ? Smok maybe ?

Do you get one specifically for a Volvo?
@@janonthemtn no. Any will fit.
@@paulsehstedt6275 Thanks
Is there a way to check the tire pressure? I couldn't find it in my 2008 s80. Or maybe there isn't a tire sensor on these vehicles?
Nope, I don't have tyre pressure sensors on my 2009 -_-
Boo, no electronic dipstick or window feature on my 08 XC
That oil level info screen doesn't show up on my V60 2012? I'll double check later
It doesen't show up on my s80 2008 either..
Hi I tested the window opening/closing function and now the mirrors won't fold when I lock the car (2008 V70). I hope I'm not being an idiot but do you know how to reset this? thanks
Can you writer precisely instruction to checking oil ? I got 2012 and cannot locate it
Press and hold the start button with your foot *OFF* the brake and wait until the dash lights are on.

@@drivelife.channel thanks in my engine i have no this option :) but thx for response

I don’t have that oil sensor thing.
How do you turn off the daytime running lights?
I remove battery from the car lockdown mode
Remote window roll down doesn't work for me. 2016 s60
Your Windows should go down using the remote key... mine do on a 2012 V70. You might need to reprogram your windows.
@@Alexander_l322 Just bought a 2012 V70 today. Absolutely love it
@@BOOTYSLAYER_-le3di good for you bro, Ive owned mine 16 months now, I love mine too 😃
how do you installl a physical dipstick into one of these?
Drill a hole into engine
@@Winged_Vision I did more research and you do not need to drill anything on these engines.
Show the buttons you use to scroll through the dash!
Use circle roler...
hi Mate ) Are u selling it ???????
Nope it's my baby@
well thanks for nr 4.... as if our planet's atmosphere is way too clean....
So you just turn your car on an drive off??
@@_abreZ i believe 20 seconds is enough till i put my belt on, release handbrake and check the mirrors to see who's around. It's not like you live in Siberia. That's UK
@@ioncorbu4947 yeah... I like to warm up the car before I go as long as I can (not over 15min) because it's better for engine
@@_abreZ a bit selfish, don't you think? We've got only one planet and it's not only yours, man. And besides, you got a Volvo, the engines are great.

omg your car is dirty
NOTHING (!) New... Just RTFM ...
Don't leave your car running on a public road though,that would be an offence.
