Setting up your vehicle for the first time
The first time you use the vehicle, a setup guide appears in the center display. It guides you through setting up a profile and other essential settings.
Note
Before using the vehicle
Before you use your vehicle for the first time, you should create a Volvo ID and download the Volvo Cars app. This makes the in-vehicle setup faster.
- Important settings, such as your vehicle's system language
- Connecting the vehicle to your Volvo ID and the Volvo Cars app

Note
Stay parked during setup
The vehicle needs to be stationary and in P when you go through the setup guide.
Complete setup
It is advisable to complete the setup before driving the vehicle. 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 vehicle.
Resetting the vehicle
If the vehicle has already been set up by someone else, such as a previous owner, you can reset the vehicle to access the setup guide again.
