Accessory Installation - Important Warning
We strongly recommend that Volvo owners install only genuine, Volvo-approved accessories, and that accessory
installations be performed only by the factory-trained technicians at your authorized Volvo retailer.
Genuine Volvo accessories are tested to ensure compatibility with the performance, safety, and emission systems in
your car. Additionally, your authorized Volvo retailer knows where accessories may and may not be safely installed in
your Volvo. In all cases, please consult your authorized Volvo retailer before installing any accessory in or on your
car.
Accessories that have not been approved by Volvo may or may not be specifically tested for compatibility with your
car. Additionally, an inexperienced installer may not be familiar with some of your car's systems.
Any of your car's performance and safety systems could be adversely affected if you install accessories that Volvo
has not tested, or if you allow accessories to be installed by someone unfamiliar with your car.
Damage caused by unapproved or improperly installed accessories may not be covered by your new car warranty.
See your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet for more warranty information. Volvo assumes no
responsibility for death, injury, or expenses that may result from the installation of non-genuine accessories.
Driver Distraction
Driver distraction results from driver activities that are not directly related to controlling the car in the driving
environment. Your new Volvo is, or can be, equipped with many feature-rich entertainment and communication
systems. These include hands-free cellular telephones, navigation systems, and multipurpose audio systems. You may
also own other portable electronic devices for your own convenience. When used properly and safely, they enrich the
driving experience. Improperly used, any of these could cause a distraction.
For all of these systems, we want to provide the following warning that reflects the strong Volvo concern for your
safety:
Never use these devices or any feature of your vehicle in a way that distracts you from the task of driving safely.
Distraction can lead to a serious accident. In addition to this general warning, we offer the following guidance
regarding specific newer features that may be found in your vehicle:
Never use a hand -held cellular telephone while driving. Some jurisdictions prohibit cellular telephone use by a
driver while the vehicle is moving.
If your car is equipped with a navigation system, set and make changes to your travel itinerary only with the vehicle
parked.
Never program your audio system while the vehicle is moving. Program radio presets with the vehicle parked, and
use your programmed presets to make radio use quicker and simpler.
Never use portable computers or personal digital assistants while the vehicle is moving.
A driver has a responsibility to do everything possible to ensure his or her own safety and the safety of passengers in
the vehicle and others sharing the roadway. Avoiding distractions is part of that responsibility.
