System Won’t Boot Up
Posted: Sat Mar 30, 2024 8:43 am
Just sharing what happened last night
The car had been parked up for a few hours after use. On returning the car unlocked in the usual way with the auto function on the key tag. Greeting lights all came on, heating system started up, all go so far. Noticed that the display wasn’t lighting up properly, again no panic as it was the first time I’ve used the car in the dark.
Now it gets interesting. Closed the door and the screen started cycling through lots pretty colours, flashing on and off. The car won’t boot up all ,totally unresponsive . The lights and heating remained on, which was just as well as it was cold and dark. Tried locking/unlocking, pressing what buttons I could, nothing
10 minutes spent with this, needing to get home. Contacted Volvo assist hoping that I’d get some instruction - none given, but recovery arranged.
Locked up the car and went away to wait. In fairness, recovery arrived 30 mins after calling.
On walking back to the car , it unlocked and you’ve guessed it, it booted up. It drove perfectly . Will contact Volvo for a diagnostic.
