Just last month, we got an XC40 Recharge core trim. They stopped shipping at least the core trim models with the keyless access door handles (and won't even let me pay to upgrade it anymore). Every time I want to lock the car, I have to fumble for my keys or log into the app. When the door is open, the lock button does not work on the inside of the door panel. The keyless access wouldn't be as big of a deal if I didn't have to pull out my key or log into the app just to lock the car. Is there a setting or do I need to submit a ticket to Volvo to complain? Is this just something done for my "safety"?
Wow, that really stinks...in this day and age you would expect this car to have keyless entry. But yeah, I don't think you would be able to lock the doors from the inside button while the door is open, as that would risk locking the keys in the car, so yes, it's a safety feature.
I have a 2022 and if I have the keys on me and I press the dimple on the outside of the door handle the car locks. I can open it by touching the in side of the door handle (and not pulling it).
Unfortunately, my car does not have the dimple on the door handle, so that does not work. I was just wondering if anyone knew about using the lock button on the door panel next to the side mirror adjustment buttons.
I have a related question. My XC40 Plus model does have the dimple on the door handle, but I’m used from all of my previous cars to being able to lock the car using the button on the door as I’m exiting. Any way to make that work for the XC40?
The Plus trim does as well. Just used to doing it the other way. It’s nice because I can hit the lock button and close the door even if my wife has not closed her door ye.
