Volvo Service
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.
Installing accessories
Incorrect connection and installation of accessories can negatively affect the car’s electrical system. Certain acces-
sories 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 several of the computers in your Volvo are capable of recording detailed information which may include
specific – without being limited to – details regarding; frequency of seat belt use by the driver and passenger, infor-
mation on various vehicle system/module functions and information regarding engine, throttle, steering, brakes and
other system status.
This information may include details regarding the manner in which the driver operates the vehicle. This type of infor-
mation can include specific – without being limited to – details regarding vehicle speed, use of the brakes, accelerator
pedal or steering wheel position. This information can be stored while the car is being driven, during a collision or a
near-collision.
The stored information may be read and used by:
• Volvo Car Corporation
• Service and repair facilities
• Police and other authorities
• Other interested parties who are entitled – or receive your permission for – access to this information.
