Setting up your vehicle for the first time

A guide will help you set up your vehicle the first time you use it.

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

 Tip

Before getting your vehicle

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

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

No guide?

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.
