Volvo On Call
Volvo On Call provides direct contact with the
vehicle and extra comfort and assistance 24
hours a day.
The functions are available via the Volvo On Call
app1 and the ON CALL and SOS button in the
vehicle's ceiling console:
It is possible to e.g. lock or unlock the vehicle or
check the fuel level directly from a phone or other
connected device via the Volvo On Call app. In
the event of an accident, emergency assistance
(ambulance, police, etc.) can be summoned to
the vehicle, and roadside assistance can be
called out in less critical situations, e.g. a flat tire.
NOTE
The SOS button should only be used in case
of accident, illness or if there is an external
threat to the vehicle and its passengers. The
SOS function is only intended for emergency
situations.
The ON CALL button can be used for all
other services, including roadside assistance.
The Volvo On Call system
Volvo On Call is connected to the vehicle's safety
and alarm systems and to other systems in the
vehicle, such as lock and climate systems. The
vehicle has an integrated modem for communication with the Volvo On Call customer service center and the Volvo On Call app. The Global
Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is used to
locate the vehicle.
Customer service center
To contact the Volvo On Call customer service
center, press the ON CALL button or use the
Volvo On Call app. You can also call the Volvo On
Call service center by phone.

Getting started with Volvo On Call
This article describes what is required to get
started with Volvo On Call.
Activating Volvo On Call
When the vehicle is picked up, the retailer will
activate the Volvo On Call system and the owner
will receive an automatically generated PIN code
for Volvo On Call. The PIN code is used for
security reasons to identify the owner of the vehicle (or another authorized person such as a family member) and works as a vehicle key.
Volvo On Call subscription
The vehicle must have a valid Volvo On Call subscription.
A free subscription is initiated when the vehicle is
purchased and the system is activated. This subscription is valid for a limited time, but can be
extended. Contact your Volvo retailer for more
information.
NOTE
Automatic Crash Notification and the SOS
button function even without a subscription.
Volvo ID and connecting the Volvo On Call app to the vehicle
A Volvo ID is required to use Volvo On Call. After
creating a Volvo ID, the Volvo On Call app must
be connected to the vehicle.
Buying a pre-owned vehicle with Volvo On Call
If you have purchased a pre-owned Volvo with
Volvo On Call, it is important to delete the data
from the previous owner and add you own details
for the service to work. Visit a Volvo retailer for
assistance.

Automatic Crash Notification with Volvo On Call
In the event of a collision, the vehicle can automatically notify the Volvo On Call customer service center, or the nearest emergency service
center, which can then summon emergency
assistance.
Volvo On Call Customer service center
If the vehicle's safety system is triggered, e.g. in
an accident in which the activation level is
reached for the belt tensioners or airbags, a signal will be automatically sent to the Volvo On Call
customer service center. The following will occur:
1. A message, including the vehicle's location,
is automatically sent from the vehicle to the
Volvo On Call customer service center.
2. The Volvo On Call customer service center
will then attempt to establish voice contact
with the driver to determine the extent of the
accident and the need for assistance.
3. The Volvo On Call customer service center
will then contact the appropriate emergency
service (police, ambulance, tow truck, etc.).
If voice contact cannot be established, the Volvo
On Call customer service center will contact
emergency services for appropriate action.
Emergency number
When the collision alarm has been activated, the
system will attempt to establish contact with the
country's Volvo On Call customer service center.
If this is not possible, the call will go directly to
the emergency phone number for the country/
region in which the vehicle is currently located.
