Using Volvo headlights/fog lights - Volvo Owners Guide 

Martin congratulations on your XC40, welcome to the family. It is a really great car and I know you will enjoy owning it. The cornering lights can look a little odd from the outside like it is not working. Recently I have been driving my wife's S60 Recharge which doesn't have it. I have to admit that it is a feature that I like more than I realized. Very functional especially on dark roads and to see curbs etc . I'm definitely looking forward to getting Pixel LED's too one day. Thanks for watching and enjoy the new car!

Thanks so much. Congratulations on the XC40! Two years in and still love the car.

I just bought my xc 40 too around Christmas. It was late and I’ve basically been reading and googling to try to find features!! Thank you. This car is so cool. I’ve always wanted an Audi and this was a close duplicate I feel.

Congratulations on the XC40 I like Audis too but I wanted to share a video with both of you. It’s called the Volvo drop test. You will notice the first car dropped is an XC40. just look at how intact the cabin is. That is the power of boron steel which is what makes Volvos a tank. Definitely a great buy just for that alone! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1axWGCNoz5Q.htmlsi=d7yUZbrDoaJdAFc4

You are so kind thank you. Enjoy your Volvo!

Much appreciated. Let me know if you want a specific subject featured in the future.

Alochka thanks very much. Glad it was helpful and enjoy your car

That is such a great compliment. Appreciate you Antonio!

I agree Antonio. My Canadian seller was lovely but I am learning A LOT from these videos... things that the seller did not even know themselves. Thanks Jebbie!

You are welcome!

My pleasure. Thanks for watching.

Thank you too!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks again

Appreciate you watching. Happy holidays to you!

Thanks so much. Let me know if there is any other Volvo tech you would like featured.

Chirag I have never come across this before. Whenever you are in service you could check with them if they have light sensors settings they can control but I am not aware of any settings available to us.

You’re very welcome, thanks for watching

Eric that's a really great question. I'm guessing you are using a Sensus infotainment system? What I have been able to find in the manual is that default factory setting is having them on but you can manually switch them off. I actually don't have the option of switching it off on my system. I quite like that feature and it only is active below 20 mph . Thanks for that question

After clicking it off, try saving the setting to your driver profile. The next time you enter the car the key fob should read your new settings and keep it off.

Thanks for the comment. Both my Volvos are Google and unfortunately I don't have any certified XC90 on my lot right now but I will check the settings menu as soon as the next is certified.. My understanding is that corner light will only work if is dark in auto mode or if in manual lights on setting and under 30 MPH. Please check your settings menu under my car and then select exterior lighting. Alternatively swipe your main screen to the the right to get to vehicle functions and lighting is usually at the bottom such as ABL. When I have a car to confirm, In case it is different I will get back to you. Happy holidays

@@JebRevsUp thanks I'll follow your instructions and see what I can find out. Happy Holidays! :)

We just bought 3 2019 XC90s yesterday and so I checked on this and there is corner light button under vehicle functions on that car. Swipe main screen to left and scroll to the bottom for switching on and off lighting functions. In case it isn't there check the window sticker if your car. Lastly if it is there and still not working then you may have a fault that may need to be checked out. Thanks for a great contribution!

'T8' S60 has no fog lights, so which mean no cornering lights feature on that model?

Unfortunately yes that is correct. I really like both features so hopefully added in the future models

Tyler thanks for commenting again. You are correct that it a single lamp on the driver's side and it is much stronger then normal so should only be used in low visibility. Unfortunately the front fog lamps are not there. I hope that helps and wish you a great holiday season.

Yes that is normal in many of them. It has a single rear light on the driver side that is brighter than normal. Mine is a 2021 model recharge and is a little different. Whichever configuration you have, Volvo lights from the rear are very bright vertical and distinctive. They are easily seen and warn others well.

The front fog lights are the lowest lights on your car. When you have low fog close to the ground, it is hard to see the lane lines. The low lights get under the fog and make the road markings more visible. Therefore only use if you have fog blocking your view of the road. The back for lights make your entire rear look more visible. I use these in fog, in heavy rain and snow and any situation where I want others to be able to to see me better. Hope that helps and thanks for the questions.

Unfortunately there are no front fo lamps on the XC90 recharge but there are rear lamps. Not sure about integrated lamps in the headlight but if I do come across an answer for that I will let you know.

I don't have them either. The reason behind this is that on the right fog light an air intake is required for the hybrid cooling system. So unfortunately the T8's don't have fog lights. There is front fog switch on the stork, meh 🤷‍♂️.

Thanks for watching. When the daytime running lights are on all you will see is the front thors hammers. The rear lights come on once they switch the main front lights on too. The lights on this car are really great at night. I particularly love the auto high beams and active bending features.

@@JebRevsUp thanks for the reply, I would like for the rear lights to always be on. Maybe with an update this could be an option,

Andre thanks for the comment. This is subject that a lot of people ask about. I personally have not had a chance to take one of the C40s out on a really dark road to experience this at its best. However, the controls are basically the same. There is an option under settings to switch from left to right hand drive which I imagine is quite useful for those of you who live in UK/Europe. It has 84 led lights which are adaptive and use a camera and radar to give you lights that adapt to the low light conditions and it allows you to maintain high beams while not blinding oncoming traffic by selecting a pattern that only dims the relevant LEDs that affect opposing traffic. I think Volvo lights are already really good but this is next level. The idea is great and I would love to hear what owners out there think of this feature so if you use this regularly, please do post. Thanks for contributing and happy holidays.

If you are in a car with infotainment then swipe the main screen to the right to get to vehicle functions screen and it’s usually one of the last buttons when you scroll down. If you are in a Google car then there isn’t an off switch.
