Re: Curiosity Question about Start/Stop

I'll add, and I'm not a fan of the beta A/S/S that it has a mind of its own, with lots and lots of criteria to keep it from working and VOILA, just when you've given up--say inching forward at a stop sign getting ready to go when all's clear--it works! A fail system. I can only get one use of it ...

Re: Start/Stop - Low voltage or Battery temp

The A/S/S has a list of criteria for why it might and might not work, but it is still in beta testing and Volvo thanks you for your continued contribution to said testing.

My favorite thing about A/S/S is having it not working all the way home through some nice long lights and then, as I'm edging ...

Re: Curiosity Question about Start/Stop

Lots of things will enable/disable the beta A/S/S. If more curious, might want to get a Bluetooth OBD-II reader and the Car Scanner app and you can monitor the exact temp (digital) that happens, as the gauge only gives a general reading, vice a precise temp.

Re: Alvin Lee - The Bluest Blues

Alvin Lee rocked; played a MEAN ES-335. Choo Choo Mama and Good Mornin' Little Schoolgirl are classics, but my favorite is a live version of I'm Goin' Home--man could he play!

Re: New cars that shut off at stop lights and stop signs?

My 2015 V60 has A/S/S and it is a finicky semi-worthless option with lots of caveats for it to work. I'm lucky if I get it to work once on a trip. Dealer's answer is a new battery. Lately after re-starting I get a power steering failure message, which is related to the asinine A/S/S. For me, it no ...

Read all the helpful rocket surgery on the link...I'd KISS and check battery voltage. Never heard of a low battery causing this issue, but you don't hear what's not posted...

Re: Will a battery with larger capacity cause damage?

Correct on the wind chill...it ONLY affects SKIN. OP, you can put a bigger battery in and relegate your battery cover to the garage somewhere--lots of us do it with no ill effects.

Re: CD player disc error message

Yeah, something's out of alignment and pulling it out manually probably made it terminal. Chance you could pull the unit out and monkey with it--may get it aligned or slip back to the way things should be, but most likely you won't be using the CD player again.
