#3

Security services - remote door unlock by Volvo On Call, theft alarm notification, stolen vehicle tracking and in some areas vehicle immobilization.

If the subscription was activated prior to purchase date of the vehicle, it will go from the original activation date. Volo Cars states that there is no way to extend, pause, or renew the complimentary subscription.

When the expiration date is near for your Volvo On Call services, you will get a notification to renew. If you would like to renew the subscription the current pricing is $200 for 12 months and you can renew directly through your Volvo Cars app or online at www.vocrenewal.com.
