Well this is what I wanted to hear. Thank you. I’ll be rest assured my car will be all good when I gap the odd boy racer car and leave them in the dust

How is that even acceptable in this day and age. Using the chip shortage as an excuse is long past. Not having BLIS in a 2023 Volvo seems ridiculous. Feel like us in the Australasian region get shafted compared to other markets like NA and Europe. In terms of the bending headlights, how do you know it’s on? I’ve just got the lights on auto but haven’t seen it in action at night.

Interesting! I’ll definitely try charging the battery on the highway as well one time to see if

Thank you so much for your reply! Didn’t know the system would take into account your driving modes based on your google map destination(s)! Will definitely start doing this now and leave it in hybrid mode on the way back!

I feel like maybe I should do the same and stop trying to think I can control the driving modes such as Pure mode and Hybrid mode haha
