V70: General - V70 quirks

eosfan · Jun 22nd, 2012, 19:33

I've recently bought a 57 reg (new shape) V70 and have noticed a couple of quirks - nothing serious but curious to know if others have same issues and if I can do anything about them.

Firstly the satnav won't allow me to enter a TN postcode - after entering the 'T' the letter 'N' is not displayed as an option to enter next, so it seems as though I cannot enter anywhere with a Tunbridge Wells post code.

Secondly on the trip computer, current speed is displayed in km/h whereas everything else is in imperial units - why?

As I say nothing serious but am interested to know answers.

Dave - Sorry, can't help you with the SatNav as I don't have a factory one fitted. However, with regards to the current speed display, if your V70 is the same as my S80, then the speedo dial only shows mph - there are no markings for kph. Therefore I think the current speed is intended to be used when driving abroad. Anyway, that's how I intend to use it when I head off to France next week.
