Setting up Trips for your car
Trips automatically logs all journeys made with your car. To start logging journeys, you first need to enable Trips and turn on location sharing.
Note
The availability of Trips can vary depending on car model, model year and region. Available functions may also vary over time.
This article is applicable to models with Google built-in.
To use Trips, make sure you have the Trips app downloaded in the centre display. When Trips is enabled, the app automatically collects your car's VIN[1], location and other trip-related data, such as time, distance, fuel and electric consumption. You can view the trips log in both the Volvo Cars app and the Trips app in your car.
Note
Make sure that your car, the Volvo Cars app and the Trips app have the newest software version installed.
You can check your car's software version via settings in the centre display.
