Important Information On Accessories And Auxiliary Equipment; Installation Of Accessories - Volvo XC90 2018 Owner's Manual

Important information on
accessories and auxiliary
equipment
The incorrect connection and installation of
accessories and extra equipment can negatively
affect the car's electronic system.
We strongly recommend that Volvo owners only
install Volvo approved original accessories, and
that installation of accessories is only carried out
by trained and qualified Volvo service technicians.
Certain accessories only function when associ-
ated software is installed in the car's computer
system.
The equipment described in the owner's manual
is not available in all cars - they have different
equipment depending on adaptations for the
needs of different markets and national or local
laws and regulations.
Options or accessories described in this manual
are marked with an asterisk. In the event of
uncertainty over what is standard or an option/
accessory, contact a Volvo retailer.
WARNING
The driver always bears the ultimate responsi-
bility that the car is used safely and that laws
and regulations in force are followed.
It is also important that the car has mainte-
nance and service according to Volvo's rec-
ommendations, the owner's information and
the service and warranty booklet.
If the on-board information differs from the
printed owner's manual then the printed infor-
mation always has precedence.
