Data transfer between vehicle andworkshop over Wi-Fi
Volvo workshops have a designated Wi-Fi net- work for secure data transfer between your vehi-cle and the workshop. Your visit to the workshopwill be easier and more effective when diagnos-tics information and software can be transferredover the workshop's network.
When you arrive at the workshop, your technician can connect your vehicle to the workshop's Wi-Finetwork to perform troubleshooting and down-load software. For this type of communication,the vehicle only connects to the workshop's net-work. The vehicle can only be connected to thedesignated workshop networks, not to any othernetwork, e.g. your home network.
Manual connection to workshop Wi-FiManual connection is usually performed by aservice technician. Because the technician usesthe buttons on your remote key to connect thevehicle, it is important that you bring a key withbuttons when taking the vehicle in to a workshop.Pressing the lock button on the remote key threetimes will connect the vehicle to the workshop'sWi-Fi network. When the car is connected to a Wi-Fi network, the
symbol appears in the center display.
WARNING
The vehicle may not be driven when it is con- nected to the workshop's networks and sys-tems.
