Maintenance and 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 a Volvo workshop carry out
service and maintenance work. Volvo
workshops have the personnel, special tools
and service literature that guarantee the
highest quality of service.
Special service measures
Certain service measures, which affect the
car’s electrical system, can only be carried
out using electronic equipment specially
developed for your car. Always contact your
Volvo workshop before beginning or carrying
out service work which affects the electrical
system.
IMPORTANT!
For the Volvo warranty to apply, check and
follow the instructions in the Service and
Warranty Booklets.

Installing accessories
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 your 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 in order to further develop safety
and for diagnosing faults in some of the car's
systems and may include details regarding;
frequency of seat belt use by the driver and
passenger, information on various vehicle
system/module functions and information
regarding engine, throttle, steering, brakes
and other system status. This information can
include details concerning the way the driver
drives the car. This type of information can
include, without being limited to, specific
details such as the car's speed, the use of the
brake and accelerator pedals and steering
wheel position. The latter 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 distribute the stored information without
consent. However, Volvo Car Corporation
may be forced to distribute the information
due to national legislation. Volvo Car
Corporation and its workshops may also read
and utilise the information.
