Recommended maintenance for camera, sensor, and radar units
- Do not affix any objects, tape or decals in the areas described below.
- Clean camera lenses regularly with lukewarm water and car shampoo – be careful not to scratch the lenses.

Software updates
The notification view shows when a new software update is available. You can choose when to install it after it has been downloaded. Update the software in the car as soon as possible when an update is available.
The following is required in order to download updates:
- the car is connected to the Internet.
- approval of the use of online services.
Installing an update
Once a software update has been downloaded and is ready for installation, this is shown in the notification view and by a message when the car is started. You can choose to install the update immediately or have a further reminder at a later date.
Note
The installation of the software update may take up to 90 minutes. During this time, the car will be locked and its functions unavailable. Bear this in mind when scheduling the update.
During installation:
- The notification view shows when an update is ready for installation. Open the notification and follow the instructions in the centre display.
- Leave the car, close all doors, and lock the car.
- The installation is started. The car must be locked within several minutes otherwise the installation is cancelled.
- Wait until the installation is finished.
- The installation may take up to 90 minutes. When the installation is finished the car can be used as normal.
Note
- If possible, avoid handling the car, its charging cable and other functions during the installation.
- If you need to enter the car while installation is in progress, you must use the key blade.
- The car’s anti-theft alarm is disarmed during installation in order to avoid false alarms.
Always read through what the update contains so that you know how the car and its functions are affected.
If the installation fails, the car’s systems are reset to the latest installed version.
Information on contents
Tap on the information symbol in the centre display for more information on the content of the software update.
Brake system maintenance
To keep the car as safe and reliable as possible, follow the Volvo service intervals as specified in the Service and Warranty Booklet. After replacing brake linings and brake discs, braking effect is only adopted after they have been “worn in” for a few hundred kilometers (miles). Compensate for the reduced braking effect by depressing the brake pedal harder. Volvo recommends only fitting brake linings that are approved for your Volvo.
Contact a workshop for information about the procedure or engage a workshop to carry out the inspection – an authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.
Operational disruption
Some functions have limitations in particular situations and require that certain conditions are fulfilled in order to work. The driver display and centre display may show messages in order to inform about such a situation.
Find out more about fault-tracing and the limitations of various functions in related articles below.
Data transfer between car and workshop via Wi-Fi
During a workshop visit, your service technician can perform fault-tracing and update software via the network.
Connection with a key
Press three times on the lock button on the key to connect the car to the workshop’s network. Connection is normally handled by the service technician.
When the car is connected to a Wi-Fi network, the symbol appears in the centre display.
It is not possible to use the key to connect to other Wi-Fi networks.
Raise the car
Arrows along the bottom edge of the side of the car mark where the jacking points/lifting points (marked in red) are located.
If a jack is included with the car, it is only designed for occasional, short-term use, such as when changing a wheel after a puncture. Only the jack belonging to the specific model is to be used to jack up the car. If the car is to be jacked up more often, or for a longer time than is required just to change a wheel, use of a garage jack is recommended. In this instance, follow the instructions for use that come with the equipment.
When the jack is not in use it should be stored in its storage space under the cargo area floor. Crank the jack down for it to fit.
Warning
- The car must not be allowed to roll while it is being raised. Apply the parking brake and set the gear selector in Park position (P).
- Chock in front of and behind the wheels that remain on the ground using solid wooden blocks or large stones.
- When changing a wheel, use a jack intended for the car model. Use additional stands to support the car for all other work.
- Do not use a jack in poor condition. Check that the threads are lubricated, and that it is free of damage and dirt.
- Check that the jack is stable. The surface underneath must be firm, flat and not slippery.
- Never position anything between the ground and the jack, or between the jack and the car’s lifting point.
- Never allow passengers to remain in the car while the car is being supported by the jack. Make sure that they are standing in a safe location if a wheel needs to be changed in a trafficked location.
- No part of your body may be extended under the car while it is raised on the jack.
Warning
- If the car is lifted on a garage jack, the jack must be placed under the lifting points. Make sure that the jack is correctly positioned so that the car cannot slide off during lifting. Make sure the head of the jack is fitted with rubber guards so that the car remains stable and is not damaged. Always use axle stands or similar when the car is in the raised position.
- When the jack is not in use it must be stored in its storage space.
- Read through all instructions before beginning. Take out the tools needed before jacking up the car.
- Set up the warning triangle and activate the hazard warning lights if, for example, a tyre is being changed in a trafficked location.
- Apply the parking brake and engage gear position P.
Note
- Applies to cars with level control: If the car is equipped with air suspension, this must be disabled before the car is raised.
- Chock in front of and behind the wheels that remain on the ground. Use, for example, heavy wooden blocks or large stones.
- Position the jack or the lift arms at the designated spots of the car’s undercarriage. The triangle markings in the plastic cover indicate the locations of the jacking/lifting points. There are two jacking points on each side of the car. There is a recess for the jack at each point.
- Position the jack on level, firm and non-slippery ground under the jacking point that will be used.
- Crank the jack up until it is correctly positioned and comes into contact with the car’s jacking point. Check that the head of the jack (or lifting arms at a workshop) is correctly positioned in the jacking point so that the bump in the centre of the head fits into the jacking point hole, and check that the base of the jack is positioned vertically below the jacking point.
- Turn the jack so that the crank is as far away from the side of the car as possible, at which point the jack’s arms are perpendicular to the direction of the car.
- Raise the car to the height required to perform the task.
