Volvo service programme
Before the car left the factory, it was thor-
oughly test driven. It was checked again in
accordance with Volvo Car Corporation reg-
ulations before it was handed over to you.
To keep your Volvo as safe and reliable as
possible, follow the Volvo service pro-
gramme specified in the Service and Warran-
ty Booklet. Have an authorised Volvo work-
shop carry out service and maintenance
work. Volvo workshops have the personnel,
special tools and service literature to guaran-
tee the highest quality of service.
Special service measures
Certain service measures, which affect the
car’s electrical system, can only be per-
formed using electronic equipment specially
developed for your car. Always contact an
authorised Volvo workshop before beginning
or performing service work that affects the
electrical system.
Installing accessories
The incorrect connection and installation of
accessories can negatively affect the car’s
electrical system. Certain accessories only
function when the appropriate software has
been programmed into the car’s electrical
system. Always contact an authorised Volvo
workshop before installing accessories
which are connected to or affect the electri-
cal system.
Recording vehicle 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 authorised Volvo work-
shops may also read and use the informa-
tion.
