Availability
From the time that the remote key has been removed from the vehicle, Volvo On Call's functions remain available for 5 full days and subsequently once an hour for the following three weeks. After three weeks have elapsed, the system will remain switched off until the engine is started.
Volvo On Call uses GPS (Global Positioning System) to locate the vehicle and its integrated GSM module to enable communication with the Volvo On Call customer service center.
Warning
The system can only function in areas where there is adequate cellular network coverage.
Just as in the case of cell phones, atmospheric disturbances or areas with relatively few GSM transmitters can make it impossible for Volvo On Call to make a connection, for example, in rural areas.
