Recording data
One or more of the computers in your Volvo
are capable of recording detailed informa-
tion. This information is intended for use in
research to enhance safety and for diagnos-
ing faults in some of the in-car systems. The
data may include details regarding seatbelt
use by the driver and passengers, the func-
tions of various vehicle systems and mod-
ules, and status information about the en-
gine, throttle, steering, brakes and other sys-
tems. This data can also include details of
the way the car is driven. This type of infor-
mation can include, without being limited to,
specific details such as vehicle speed, the
use of the brake and accelerator pedals and
steering wheel position. This latter type of
data can be stored for a limited period while
the car is being driven and subsequently dur-
ing a collision or a near-collision. Volvo Car
Corporation will not disclose the stored infor-
mation without consent. However, Volvo Car
Corporation may be forced to disclose the in-
formation due to national legislation. Volvo
Car Corporation and its authorised work-
shops may also read and use the informa-
tion.
Accessories and extra equipment
The incorrect connection and installation of
accessories can negatively affect the car’s
electrical system. Certain accessories only
function when their associated software is in-
stalled in the car’s computer system. Always
contact an authorised Volvo workshop be-
fore installing accessories which are con-
nected to or affect the electrical system.
