If your car is equipped with a parking heater, you can use the Volvo On Call app to remotely start the parking heater so that your car is warm at a specific time.
Your car must be fitted with a parking heater to be able to use this function.
When remotely starting the heater, the car’s parking heater (auxiliary heater) is used to heat up your car’s engine and compartment. You can state when you want to leave, and the heater then starts automatically depending on the outdoor temperature at your car, or you can start the heater straight away. If the parking heater is not allowed to start (e.g. low fuel level), this will be indicated in the Volvo On Call app.
The engine heater starts only if the following criteria are met:
Login to your Volvo On Call app and select the "Parking Heater" menu option.
From here you can choose to start and stop your parking heater.
If starting directly, the heater operates for approx. 50 min or until it is switched off.
You can pre-program your engine heater to start at eight set times:
Set "Timer" to the times when you want your car to be warmed up.
Based on the outdoor temperature, your car will calculate when the engine heater needs to be switched on in order to comply with your command.
Using Direct heater start/Direct heater stop (see above) you can cancel ongoing pre-programmed starts.
