S60 front passenger window

[Cider Andy]

My nearside front window won't go up or down automatically, unlike the dealer courtesy car I was given yesterday while the car was in for service. The dealer told me it is a software option and would cost about £45 to install. I was sceptical about this, but the manual does say this function is only available in certain markets. The car is a 2004 model, the demonstrator a 2006 model.

What does yours do?

my 53 plate s60 didn't and my 54 plate V70 did!

Dealer is probably correct!

mine goes down automatically on both sides, but only auto-up's on the driver's side. The button lift for the passenger's window is different to the driver's - ie. there's a notch half way up the driver's side switch which then kicks in the auto-up.

This is what made me check: all three switches are the same (passenger door and two switches on driver's door), all are two-stage. Rear window switches, which look the same, are one-stage.

Have to say this is something that irritates me about my '00 C70. My basic '95 1.8 Cav would do either window auto up or down. The Volvo does drivers down auto, the rest you have to heep your hand off the wheel for. Not very clever.

hi cider andy,the n/s auto up was removed for safety/legal reasons at that time ! but has been reinstalled on later cars,very strange !

When you say "automatically" do you mean 'one touch' up/down?

If so, my 2002 model does it on both front windows.

As for £45 to change it. They're Robdogs, try to get them to do it gratis one they've got the computer plugged in during the service.

Yes. Plus, my original post was wrong, it works going down.

That fits. I had a 1993 Mondeo with a similar set-up - done for safety reasons - but I've had other cars since that work 'properly'.
