No it's a clock bug who most people with the V40 get..

Also got it one time. There is a fix for a the dealer.. Software update.

I've had my V40 for 4 months now - I think no more than twice has the clock mysteriously jumped back about an hour. It's odd but, as Michel said, the software update should fix it.

I think the V50 had a similar problem :s

Anyone else experienced this today in the uk? My clock jumped forward a very random 8hrs 10mins, instead of the usual hr for daylight saving today.

Dear London 2012
I experienced a similar strange phenomenon in Thessaloniki, Greece, today, but with my mobile phone's clock. I was trying to adjust it to dst, and when done, it had jumped some 8 hours forward. A coincidence? something that will be explained in time? who knows?

There is a software bug with the clock which has been fixed if I recall correctly...

Software update and problem with clock eliminated.

Guard problem - probably caused by reduced alarm function cause appears always when I have dog on board and have used reduced alarm.
