Volvo On Call
Volvo On Call is an integrated, subscriptionbased system that provides emergency, road-
side assistance and security services.
Volvo On Call is connected to the vehicle's airbag
and alarm systems. The vehicle has an integrated
Global System for Mobile Communications
(GSM) module that handles communication
between the vehicle and the Volvo On Call customer service center.
Availability
Volvo On Call uses the Global Navigation
Satellite System (GNSS) to locate the vehicle
and its integrated GSM module to enable communication with the Volvo On Call customer service center and the Volvo On Call mobile app.
From the time that the remote key has been
removed from the vehicle, Volvo On Call's functions remain available for 5 full days and subsequently once an hour for the following 17 days.
After three weeks have elapsed, the system will
remain switched off until the engine is started.
WARNING
The system can only function in areas where
there is adequate cellular network coverage.
Just as in the case of cell phones, atmospheric disturbances or areas with relatively
few GSM transmitters can make it impossible
for Volvo On Call to make a connection, for
example, in rural areas.
Subscriptions
A free, limited-time trial subscription is initiated
when the vehicle is purchased and Volvo On Call
is activated. The subscription can be extended by
contacting your Volvo retailer.
