Getting started with Volvo On Call

Volvo On Call is a built-in assistance system with an app that gives you the facility to control your Volvo remotely. This article describes how to get started with Volvo On Call and the Volvo On Call app.

To be able to use the VOC app, check the following:

  • Your Volvo is of model year 2012 or later and is fitted with VOC
  • You have a valid VOC subscription

If you purchase an extension after your subscription has expired, VOC must be reactivated by your dealer before you can continue using the services. This may cost extra. Therefore, it is a good idea to extend your subscription before it expires so that you can use the services without interruption.
