Getting started with Volvo On Call*
This article describes what you need to get
started with Volvo On Call.
Preparations
Volvo On Call is a factory option, and the driver
should have downloaded the Volvo On Call and
tested it in demo mode before collecting the car
from the dealer. This makes it possible to explore
the majority of functions and provides information
on how the app is used. The app is free.
Activation of Volvo On Call
When the car is collected, the retailer activates
the Volvo On Call system and the owner receives
an automatically generated PIN code for Volvo
On Call. This PIN code is used for security rea-
sons to identify the owner of the car (or another
approved person such as a family member) and
works like a car key.
Volvo On Call subscription
The car must have a valid Volvo On Call subscrip-
tion.
The subscription is initiated in connection with
the purchase of the car when the system is acti-
vated. The subscription has a time limit but can
be extended, and validity is market dependent.
Contact a Volvo dealer for assistance.
NOTE
Automatic Crash Notification, the SOS button
and roadside assistance via the On Call but-
ton also work without a subscription.
Volvo ID and connecting the Volvo On
Call app to a car
A Volvo ID is needed to use Volvo On Call. After
having created a Volvo ID, the Volvo On Call app
needs to be connected to the car.
NOTE
Note that to be able to use the Volvo On Call
app, both the owner and the car have to have
valid Volvo On Call subscriptions.
Buying a used car with Volvo On Call
When buying a used Volvo with Volvo On Call, it
is important to delete data from the previous
owner and add your own details to make the
service work. Visit a Volvo dealer for assistance.
