Accessory Installation; Connecting Equipment To The Vehicle's Data Link Connector - Volvo XC40 2021 Owner's Manual

Accessory installation

We strongly recommend that Volvo owners
install only genuine, Volvo-approved accesso-
ries, and that accessory installations be per-
formed only by a trained and qualified Volvo
service technician. Certain functions only
work when the associated software is instal-
led in the vehicle's computer system.
Genuine Volvo accessories are tested to
•
ensure compatibility with the perform-
ance, safety, and emission systems in your
vehicle. Additionally, a trained and quali-
fied Volvo service technician knows where
accessories may and may not be safely
installed in your Volvo. In all cases, please
consult a trained and qualified Volvo serv-
ice technician before installing any acces-
sory in or on your vehicle.
Accessories that have not been approved
•
by Volvo may or may not be specifically
tested for compatibility with your vehicle.
Any of your vehicle's performance and
•
safety systems could be adversely affec-
ted if you install accessories that Volvo
has not tested, or if you allow accessories
to be installed by someone unfamiliar with
your vehicle.
Damage caused by unapproved or
•
improperly installed accessories may not
be covered by your new vehicle warranty.
See your Warranty and Service Records
Information booklet for more warranty
information. Volvo assumes no responsi-
bility for death, injury, or expenses that
may result from the installation of non-
genuine accessories.
