Volvo S80 Owner's Manual page 144

Before the car left the factory, it was thoroughly test driven. It was
checked again in accordance with Volvo Car Corporation regulations
before it was handed over to you.
In order for you to keep your Volvo at the highest level of traffic safety,
driving safety and reliability you should follow the Volvo service
programme which is specified in the Warranty and Service schedule.
We advise you always to let a Volvo workshop carry out the servicing
and repair work. Your Volvo workshop has the personnel, the special
tools and the service literature which guarantees you the highest quality
of service. Your Volvo workshop always uses Volvo Genuine parts.
The Volvo Service schedule is developed for the normal motorist.
For the Volvo warranty to apply, check and follow the instructions in
the Service and Warranty Manual.
Service or installation of accessories
Service or installation of accessories that affect the car's electrical system
can only be carried out using electronic equipment specially developed
for the car. It is therefore important that you always contact your Volvo
workshop before beginning or carrying out service work that affects the
electrical system.
Recording vehicle data
One or more computers in your Volvo car can record detailed information.
This information is intended for research purposes in order to further
develop safety and to diagnose faults in certain systems. It can included
data such as seat belt usage by the driver and front passenger, information
on the function of different systems and modules in the car and informa-
tion on the status of the engine, throttle control, steering, brake and other
systems.
This information can contain data on the driver's driving style.
Such data can contain information including, but not limited to, vehicle
speed, use of the brake or accelerator pedal and steering wheel manoeuv-
res. The latter data can be stored for a limited time while the car is driven
and during the course of a collision or a near miss.
Volvo Car Corporation will not distribute this stored information without
permission. Volvo Car Corporation may, however, be forced to provide
this information if required by national legislation.
In general, Volvo Car Corporation and authorised workshops may read
and use the information.
