Volvo On Call (VOC)*
VOC is an integrated, subscription-based system that provides emergency, roadside assistance and security services.
VOC 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 VOC customer service center.
The Volvo On Call buttons
The SOS and ON CALL buttons form the basis for communication between the vehicle and the VOC customer service center.
•
SOS button: press in emergency situa­tions.
•
ON CALL button: press to contact the customer service center when roadside assistance is required.
See also Using Volvo On Call (p. 6) for additional information.

Availability

From the time that the remote key has been removed from the vehicle, VOC's functions remain available for 5 full days and subse­quently once an hour for the following 22 days. After 22 days have elapsed, the sys­tem will remain switched off until the engine is started.
VOC uses GPS (Global Positioning System) to locate the vehicle and its integrated GSM module to enable communication with the VOC customer service center.
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 VOC to make a connection, for example, in rural areas.

Subscriptions

A free trial subscription is initiated when the vehicle is purchased and VOC is activated. The subscription has a time limit but can be extended by contacting your Volvo retailer.

Volvo On Call mobile app

As a VOC user, you can download a mobile app that enables you to have telephone con­tact with your vehicle when it is parked.
Certain functions may not be available in all models.
The mobile app is updated regularly, which may result in this information not being com­pletely up-to-date with respect to the func­tionality available. Go to www.volvocars.com/us/voc or www.volvocars.com/ca for additional infor­mation about the app.
The Volvo On Call mobile app is available for the iPhone and for Windows/Android phones and can be downloaded from Apple's App­Store, Windows Phone Store or Google Play.

The vehicle's instrument panel

This function provides information such as: the fuel level, range on the remaining fuel, average fuel consumption, average speed and odometer/trip odometer readings.

Vehicle "checkup"

The mobile app monitors the vehicle's condi­tion and provides information about bulbs and the levels of brake fluid, coolant and engine oil.

Driving logbook

Detailed information about each trip made during the past 40 days can be saved and downloaded. All or part of this information can be exported from the mobile app to a spreadsheet format and sent to an email address. This is very useful for e.g., keeping track of business-related driving.
This function can be deactivated, in which case the vehicle will not transmit logbook information at the end of each trip.

Vehicle information

Basic information such as model, license plate number and VIN number are readily accessible.

Theft notification

If the vehicle's alarm is triggered, the owner will be informed via his/her cell phone.

Remote door unlock

The status of all doors and windows is provi­ded. The owner can lock/unlock the vehicle from another location but for security rea­sons, the app's password is always required before the vehicle can be unlocked.
Engine remote start (ERS)*
1
ERS makes it possible to remotely start the engine using the remote key to enable the cli­mate system to cool or heat the passenger compartment before driving.
When the engine starts, the climate and info­tainment systems will restart using the same settings as when the engine was switched off.
You can choose to let the engine run for between 1 and 15 minutes before it automati­cally switches off again. After 2 ERS starts, the engine must be started in the normal way before ERS can be used again.
WARNING
Keep the following in mind before using ERS:
•
The vehicle should be in view.
•
The vehicle should be unoccupied.
•
The vehicle must not be parked indoors or in an enclosed area. Exhaust fumes are harmful to the health.
NOTE
Always observe applicable state, province and/or local laws regarding engine idling when using ERS.

Volvo On Call security services

The Volvo On Call (VOC) security services are intended to provide assistance in threatening situations, if you are locked out of your vehi­cle, etc.
If the vehicle's normal electrical system is not functioning properly, VOC's reserve battery provides the system with current.

Theft notification

A signal will be sent automatically to the Volvo On Call customer service center in the event of a break-in or theft (if the vehicle's alarm has been triggered).
This service will be interrupted if the alarm is turned off using one of the vehicle's remote keys.

Remote door unlock

If the vehicle's remote key has been lost or locked in the car, the doors can be unlocked remotely within the following 22 days with assistance from the VOC customer service center, see Remote door unlock (p. 12).

Remote vehicle immobilizer

If the vehicle has been stolen, the owner or police can contact the VOC customer service center to have the vehicle's remote keys immobilized (deactivated).
NOTE
This applies even if the vehicle has been unlocked and started with one of its remote keys.
After contacting the owner/police, the VOC customer service center then deactivates the remote keys. Once the engine has been switched off, it can only be restarted if the owner/police has given the VOC customer service center authorization to reactivate the remote keys. Once this authorization has been verified (using your PIN code), the VOC customer service center will reactivate the remote keys.

Reserve battery

The reserve battery's service life is at least 1 year. If the battery's charge level goes below a certain level, the message
On Call
Service required will be displayed.
If the message remains on the screen, the battery's capacity should be checked by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
