Setting up your car for the first time

There is a guide that helps you set up your car the first time you use it.

The setup guide for your car automatically starts in the display. It guides you through profile creation and other essential settings.

 Tip

Before getting your car

Before you start, you will need to create a Volvo ID and download the mobile app for the car. This makes the in-car setup faster.

The setup guide covers the following:
  • Important settings, such as your car's system language
  • Setting up user profiles
  • Connecting a key
  • Consent to terms and conditions for various car services and other third-party services
  • Connecting the car to the mobile app

 Note

Stay parked during setup

The car needs to be stationary and in P when you go through the setup guide.

Complete setup

It's advisable to complete the setup before driving the car. If you exit the guide before going through the necessary steps, certain features will be unavailable until you go back and complete the process. You will also be reminded about the setup the next time you drive the car.

No guide?

If the car has already been set up by someone else, such as a previous owner, you can reset the car to access the setup guide again.
