This service offers a way to send a booking request for service and workshop appointments directly from the vehicle.

When it is time for service, and in certain cases if the vehicle requires repairs, a message will be displayed in the instrument panel and at the top of the center display. The time for service is determined by how much time has elapsed, the number of hours the engine has run, or the distance driven since the last service.

Using service

  • Create a Volvo ID and register it in the vehicle.
  • To send and receive appointment information, the vehicle must be connected to the Internet1.
