Maintenance and service
Volvo service
Volvo service programme
Before the car left the factory, it was
thoroughly test driven. It was checked again
in accordance with Volvo Car Corporation
regulations before it was handed over to you.
To keep your Volvo as safe and reliable as
possible, follow the Volvo service programme
specified in the Service and Warranty
Booklet. Have an authorised Volvo workshop
carry out service and maintenance work.
Volvo workshops have the personnel, special
tools and service literature to guarantee the
highest quality of service.
Special service measures
Certain service measures, which affect the
car’s electrical system, can only be
performed 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
electrical system.
Recording vehicle data
One or more of the computers in your Volvo
are capable of recording detailed information.
This information is intended for use in
research to enhance safety and for
diagnosing faults in some of the in-car
systems. The data may include details
regarding seatbelt use by the driver and
passengers, the functions of various vehicle
systems and modules, and status information
about the engine, throttle, steering, brakes
and other systems. This data can also include
details of the way the car is driven. This type
of information 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 during a collision or a near-
collision. Volvo Car Corporation will not
disclose the stored information without
consent. However, Volvo Car Corporation
may be forced to disclose the information due
to national legislation. Volvo Car Corporation
and its authorised workshops may also read
and use the information.
IMPORTANT!
For the Volvo warranty to apply, check

and Warranty Booklet.
