Facial recognition spyware monitoring system had a software glitch ?

When the battery was dying in my 16 V60 I saw some Chinese language pop up. New battery and it never returned.

 

That was my first thought as well. The battery is five years old now and it was showing weakness during the last winter.

Though for a split second I suspected I'm being hacked by the Chinese because I always tend to mock them if given a chance 😄

 

My factory battery died at just over 5 years. No amount of time on a CTEK charger would bring it back to full charge.

 

I had a similar experience recently, our 2015 (P3) XC60 (which always drops a “Low Battery” Warning) showed the Message in Japanese.

Maybe that's a sign of low voltage/as already mentioned a dying battery.

 

I was working at a Volvo dealer when the P3 S60L were for sale. While the standard S60 was made in Sweden, the S60L (or Inscription) was made in China - as noted by the VIN beginning with an "L" instead of the "Y" for Swedish cars.

During the PDI - Pre Delivery Inspection - we had to connect a battery maintainer to the battery to load the software package on the car and it was interesting that the label on the batteries in the Chinese cars were mostly in Chinese versus the English of every other Volvo car we had ever seen.

 

the car is thinking "Do you not understand Finnish" you are low on fuel.
