 Note

The car model in the video is an XC60. The location of the SIM card holder varies for different models.

Instructions

Place a personal SIM card in the holder.

The SIM card used should be a card that is intended only for data traffic or a card with a number not shared with another SIM card.

Press Communication → Car Modem Internet.
Activate/deactivate by checking/unchecking the Car modem Internet box.
If a different connection source was used previously, confirm your change of connection.

If you experience problems with connecting to the Internet

If the clock has been reset, e.g. after the current to the battery has been disconnected during a visit to a service workshop, you need to set it again before you can connect to the Internet.

In order to set the clock, select Settings → System → Date and Time in the centre display's top view. Then adjust the time and date by tapping the arrows on the screen up or down.

If you use a Telenor SIM card that is included with the purchase of a new car, this is active for 3 months or until a data balance of 5 GB has been reached.

In the event of problems with the Internet connection, you can remove the SIM card and change the Internet source in the car. Contact your Volvo dealer if problems persist.

  1. 1 Only cars with Volvo On Call.
  2. 2 For V90 Bi-Fuel, contact an authorised Volvo workshop for the installation of a personal SIM card.
