Default 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?

DAB is standard on 2014 models which have been around for a few months now , i guess you have an old 2013 model . You have been reading a 2014 brochure whilst havinga 2013 car .. were you aware that you were not getting a current specification car? Maybe you ordered it before around June ?
