Software updates
Updating your car’s software ensures that it remains up to date with the latest features and improvements.
Software updates are primarily done over the air (OTA) and all previous updates are included when you install a new update. Keep in mind that you may be charged for installing software updates at a Volvo dealer unless installation is included in your repair or service agreement.
When a new update is available, you will see a notification in the display and in the Volvo EX30 app. The notification gives you an estimation of how long it will take to install the update and tells you what’s included in it.
After installing a software update, the car’s features may vary depending on the market, model, model year and specification.
The software in the cars is being continuously developed to enhance your Volvo experience. Once a software update is available, you will find it here along with any previous updates.

Car wash mode
You can now activate car wash mode in the Settings menu. Go to Controls, Car modes and Car wash mode to activate it. It deactivates automatically if the car is moving faster than 20 km/h (12 mph). However, to ensure that all car features are available to you, it's recommended to deactivate car wash mode manually before you reach a public road.
