2023 Volvo XC40 Recharge Plug-in Hybrid Windows, glass and mirrors
Windows, glass, and mirrors
The car contains several different windows, glass panes, and mirrors. Some of the windows in the car are laminated.
- The windscreen has laminated glass, and laminated glass is available as an option for certain other glass areas. Laminated glass is reinforced, which provides better protection against break-ins and improved sound insulation in the passenger compartment.
- The panoramic roof also has laminated glass.
- The symbol is shown on the windows where the glass is laminated.
Pinch protection for windows and sun blinds
All power windows and sun blinds have pinch protection which is deployed if they are blocked by any object while opening or closing.
- In the event of blocking, the movement stops and then reverses automatically to approx. 50 mm (approx. 2 inches) from the blocked position (or to the full ventilation position).
- It is possible to force pinch protection when closing has been canceled, e.g. when ice is formed, by continuing to press the control in one and the same direction.
- If any fault arises with the pinch protection, a reset sequence can be tested.
Reset sequence for pinch protection
If a problem occurs with the electrical functions for the electric windows, a reset sequence can be tested.
Warning
- If the starter battery is disconnected, the automatic opening and closing function must be reset to work properly. A reset must take place for pinch protection to work.
- In the event of problems with the panoramic roof, contact a workshop.
Reset the power window
- Start with the window in the closed position.
- Then operate the controls in the manual position 3 times upwards to the closed position.
- The system is initialized automatically.
If problems persist, contact a workshop.
Activating and deactivating max defroster
Max defroster is used to quickly remove mist and ice from windows.
Max defroster deactivates auto-regulation of the climate and air recirculation, activates air conditioning and changes the fan level to 5 and the temperature to HI.
Note
- Changing the fan level to 5 increases the noise level.
- When max defroster is deactivated, the climate control system returns to the previous settings.
Activating and deactivating max defroster from centre console
- There is a physical button in the centre console for quick access to the max defroster.
- With a heated windscreen, the max defroster can only be activated individually from the climate view in the centre display.
