The vehicle's systems that have contact with the Volvo Cars app are programmed to shut down when the vehicle is not used for extended periods of time.
After a few days, the system switches off to save the battery. Some of the app's functions cannot be used during this time. The system resumes full availability once the vehicle has been started.
Warning
The system's services only work in areas in which Volvo On Call's partners have cellular coverage and where the technology allows.
Just as with cellular phones, atmospheric disturbances or areas with fewer transmitters, e.g. sparsely populated rural areas, can make connection impossible.
