Wi-Fi connection to a workshop
The time a vehicle is in a workshop for service or
repairs can be reduced by transmitting trouble-
shooting information as soon as the car reaches
the workshop.
This is done most conveniently by selecting
Automatically connect when I arrive in the
center display's Settings menu.
Each time the vehicle slows down to a sufficiently
low speed, it begins searching for a Wi-Fi net-
work. If an authorized Volvo network (at a retailer
or workshop) is found, a message will be dis-
played or a pop-up window will open in the cen-
ter display (this applies to manual connections,
see the section "Manually connecting to a work-
shop" below).
Automatically connecting to a workshop
Without driver confirmation
This is the most convenient way to transmit trou-
ble-shooting data. The driver does not need to
confirm that the vehicle will establish a connec-
tion.
If the vehicle stops at a workshop and the engine
is switched off using the start knob, a message
will appear above the status bar in the center dis-
play. The vehicle will be automatically connected
when the driver's door is opened if the driver
does not tap the
Cancel button in the message.
To help prevent the driver from being disturbed
by unwanted requests to connect (e.g., if the
vehicle is often parked near a workshop with an
authorized Volvo network), the vehicle will switch
to manual connection if the driver cancels a con-
nection request twice within 5 days.
With driver confirmation
With this alternative, the driver must confirm a
connection.
If the vehicle stops at a workshop and the engine
is switched off using the start knob, a pop-up
window will open in the center display. The vehi-
cle will be automatically connected when the driv-
er's door is opened if the driver taps
Connect in
the pop-up window. If the driver does nothing or
taps the pop-up window's Abort button, no
attempt will be made to establish a connection.
NOTE
To help prevent the driver from being distur-
bed by unwanted requests to connect (e.g., if
the vehicle is often parked near a workshop
with an authorized Volvo network), the vehicle
will switch to manual connection if the driver
cancels a connection request twice within
5 days.
Manually connecting to a workshop
Manual connections are handled by the service
technician.

The type of connection (manual or automatic)
can be changed in the center display's Settings
