Note
When your vehicle is connected to the internet, it can receive over-the-air updates to keep the vehicle's software up to date. When you have enabled software updates in the mobile app, the vehicle will automatically download the updates and tell you when they can be installed. You will get installation notifications via the app and the vehicle's display.
You can also check for new software updates by going to in settings.
Installing software updates
When a new software update is available, the vehicle will automatically download the update, but it won't install it for you. You need to start the installation yourself, either via the mobile app for the vehicle, a notification in the display or in the software update view. The notification only appears in the display when you put the vehicle into P and unbuckle your seat belt. You can cancel the installation after confirming it if you change your mind about installing the update.
You can't access or use your vehicle while a software update is installing. Therefore, make sure that there is sufficient remaining battery charge and that you don't need to use your vehicle during the installation process. The vehicle will give you an estimation for how long it will take to install the update.
Important
There might be updates that you can't install yourself. If this happens, contact an authorized Volvo workshop to book a service.
If there is a critical update failure, avoid driving the vehicle and call roadside assistance to take you to an authorized Volvo workshop.
Note
Scheduling updates
If you want to install an update at a later time, you can schedule the installation in both the mobile app and the display. Scheduling an update sets a timer for when you want the vehicle to attempt to install the update: for example, in 4 hours' time. The maximum amount of time you can schedule an update for is 24 hours.
