13 plate V40 SE D2
 
My company V40 arrived today and I'm slightly confused and disappointed. Many of the features I wanted on the car that the sales literature say are standard seem to be missing.
Can anyone clarify if they should be on the vehicle?

Brochure says all V40 have Dab mine does not
All models have blind spot info system but mine has not

Are these features standard on a 13 plate SE?

Thanks

As far as I know there options, though they may come with higher spec levels than ES, ie SE, SE Lux or R-Design. Anyway, all manufacturers have disclaimers allowing them to change the spec of any car. Need to check the order sheet to see if it's listed there.

I would be astounded for an SE model to have these items as std.
Anything else you think is missing?

If you think all is not as it should be then you need to talk to your
dealer or lease company.

Goes off to check brochure...

I stand corrected according to this pricelist http://www.volvocars.com/uk/Document...-pricelist.PDF

DAB is standard - though this maybe for my14 cars.
Have you checked all the menus in the cars sensus?
as for BLIS that is an option.

It's the computer system in the car.
Is it just the DAB & BLIS that you think is missing?

Ill have a look at the computer and see what it says. I guess everything seemed less rosy without the DAB.

DAB is standard on MY14 UK cars.

The Sensus system you will have, we do on our MY13. Probably not the "Sensus Touch" (or whatever the name is) which is just a touchscreen and IMO not worth it.

Post some pics of your new car.....

Yes DAB is standard on MY14 car and an option on MY13

Seems I'm DABless which is most disappointing.
Any ideas how I voice dial?
