Using Volvo On Call*

The Volvo On Call system is activated by pressing the SOS or ON CALL button in the roof, or via options in the centre display. Addition settings can also be set in the centre display.

Volvo on Call is automatically started when the car's safety system is triggered, e.g. in an accident in which the activation level is reached for the seatbelt tensioners or airbags. Contact is made between the car and Volvo on Call service centre, which will send appropriate assistance to the car's position.

When a service is active, it is shown in the centre display.
