1. Have your car serviced in accordance with the Volvo Service Programme as detailed in the Service Record section of this booklet. Every service must be completed within one month or 1,500 kilometres of the specified service interval.

2. Report any defect and make the car available to an authorised Volvo retailer without undue delay after a defect becomes apparent.

3. You must follow any instructions in the owner’s manual or given by an authorised Volvo retailer.

4. Properly use, maintain, clean and care for your car as outlined in your Owner’s Manual.

5. Retain maintenance service and repair inspection records in the event that a question should arise concerning your vehicle’s history. If a service has been carried out by a non-authorised Volvo retailer we reserve the right to reject any claim where the cause of the defect is due to inadequate servicing or the use of non-original specification parts.

6. You must respond correctly to any warning lights that appear on the dashboard information systems and/or centre console display.

7. You must comply correctly with any product safety recalls notified to you by Volvo or an authorised Volvo retailer. Failure to comply will invalidate the Warranty for any incident or claim relating to the product safety recall.

If you take your new Volvo out of the Republic of Ireland within the period of the New Car Warranty, work under your New Car Warranty will be carried out free of charge by an authorised Volvo retailer. They will need information from your car’s Service book so please have this readily available. To make sure your Volvo continues to benefit the best possible protection, you have the option to extend your Volvo New Car Warranty.

With a Volvo Extended Warranty you can extend the standard warranty for a further 12 months, giving a total of 4 years’ cover from delivery when new. If you cover a lot of kilometres, you can also extend the kilometres your Volvo is covered for. For full details and a brochure, detailing the options available, please ask your Volvo retailer.
