Getting started with Volvo On Call*

Exploring the Volvo On Call app

Before you collect your car from the dealer, we recommend that you download the free Volvo Cars app and test in demo mode. The demo mode allows you to explore the majority of functions and provides information on how the app is used.

Activation of Volvo On Call

When the car is collected, the retailer activates the Volvo On Call system and the owner receives an automatically generated PIN code for Volvo On Call. This PIN code is used for security reasons to identify the owner (or another approved person such as a family member) and works like a car key.

Volvo On Call subscription

For the functions to work, the car must have an active Volvo On Call subscription.

The subscription is initiated in connection with the purchase of the car when the system is activated. The subscription has a time limit but can be extended, and validity is market dependent. Among other things, the subscription can be extended in the Volvo On Call app. Make sure that everybody has access to the car's vehicle identification number (VIN).

Volvo ID and linking the Volvo On Call app to the car

In order to use Volvo On Call you need a Volvo ID. When a Volvo ID has been created, the Volvo On Call app needs to be linked to the car.

Buying a used car with Volvo On Call

When buying a used car with Volvo On Call, it is important to delete data from the previous owner and add your own details to make the service work. Visit a Volvo dealer for assistance.
