Default Volvo on call

Hi,

How do I know if my V60 will come with Volvo on call?

I've looked at the volvo website and manual but can't see any reference to it

Thanks

Matt

to be honest if you ever need it, it's worth any price , are you aware of it's capabilities?

Agree with Clan, it's not just a way to call Volvo in an emergency.
Check Out the apps for iPhone or android.
It's also a tracking device and this enables Volvo to remotely disable the car if its stolen.
The app enables you to remotely check the status of the car, check its location and remotely lock or unlock the car . It also has a journal which shows your journeys so if you claim mileage allowance for business you can print out all your business journeys.
Well worth the money to me, I think this product is undersold by Volvo as most people don't realise what exactly it does.

To me , the main point is that when you end upside down in a ditch , the on-call will phone the emergency services with your exact location , and all the electronics in the car can be remotly read out , so the call centre will know for example if there is a fire or not .. they will try voice contact with you first after the accident ..
