I must admit I'm a little sceptical, but see what happens when/if the dealer gets back to me.

I'm in Luxembourg at the moment, visiting friends. The RH setting for the lights seems quite erratic - sometimes, after stopping, it switches back to LH (default) setting and sometimes it stays on RH setting - I get a "warning message" telling me it is still set to RH driving. It doesn't seem to be a 5 minute thing - it has still been set to RH driving several hours after stopping. No idea (yet) what the pattern is - will let you know if I figure it out!
Cheers

Don't forget to complain to Volvo UK when you return!

I have an 11.5 MY with sat nav and the latest Sensus update. In France at the moment. When we got off the ferry the sat nav still thought we were in Portsmouth for a bit but then displayed 'welcome to France'.

The xenon headlights adjusted themselves as soon as the car realised it was no longer in the UK. This doesn't work with halogen lights with nav.

My previous 10MY was a pain as I had to go into the settings very time to reset. Wouldn't normally be a problem as I don't drive much after dark but you can't turn the damn lights off!

Wow! Do you think that was part of the Sensus V3 upgrade?

I am going back to France next week and will see if that is true.
When I went to France back in May I was still on the "old" version, but I have since then had the upgrade.

Sad I know, but that is something else to look forward to !!

As per my previous post, I'm just back from 3 weeks in Italy. I have Sensus V3 and lights certainly didn't adjust automatically when sat nav realised I was abroad. On the contrary, as stated they had to be set to RHS every time after stopping for more than about 5 mins.

You must have a one off! No one else has lights which work that way unless it's an Audi!
