Downloading the Volvo Cars app
The Volvo Cars app can be downloaded free of charge from Apple App Store or Google Play. You can test most of the app functions without connecting to a vehicle by running the app in demo mode.
Internet connection required
When using the Volvo Cars app, your mobile device will send and receive data via the internet. If you do not have a data plan, then your cell phone carrier may charge you for that data. If you use your app abroad you may incur data roaming charges. For further information, contact your cell phone operator.
Note
Data sharing for the overhead buttons must be activated for remote control of vehicle functions, such as climate and locking, to work.
