Programming HomeLink
®
*12
Follow these instructions to program
HomeLink ®
, reset all programming, or program
individual buttons.
NOTE In some vehicles, the ignition must be on or in
the "accessory position" before HomeLink
®
can be programmed or used. It can be a good
idea to put new batteries in the remote con-
trol being replaced by HomeLink ®
for faster
programming and better radio signal trans-
mission. The HomeLink ®
buttons should be
reset before programming.
WARNING While HomeLink
®
is being programmed, the
garage door or gate being programmed may
be activated. Make sure that no one is near
the door or gate during programming. When
programming a garage door opener, it is
advised to park outside of the garage. 1.
Point the remote control at the HomeLink ®
button to be programmed and hold it about
2-8 cm (1-3 inches) from the button. Do not
obstruct the HomeLink ®
indicator light.
Note: Some remote controls are more effec-
tive at programming HomeLink ®
from a dis-
tance of about 15-20 cm (6-12 inches). Try
moving the remote control closer or further
away if you are experiencing any difficulties
programming.
2.
Press and hold both the remote control but-
ton and the HomeLink ®
button to be pro-
grammed.
3. Do not release the buttons until the indicator light has stopped flashing slowly (about once
a second) and either flashes quickly (about
10 times a second) or glows steadily.
>Steady glow: Indication that program-
ming is complete. Press the programmed
button twice to activate.
Flashing quickly: The device being pro-
grammed with HomeLink ®
may have a
security function that requires an extra
step. Try pressing the programmed button
twice to see whether the programming
works. Otherwise, continue with the fol-
lowing steps. 4. Locate the "training" button
13
on the
receiver for the e.g. garage door opener. It is
usually located near the antenna bracket on
the receiver.
5.

Press and release the "training" button once.
Programming must be completed within 30
seconds after pressing the button.
6. Press and release the HomeLink ®
button to
be programmed. Repeat the press/hold/
release sequence a second time. For some
receivers, the sequence may need to be
repeated a third time.
> Programming is now completed and the garage door, gate, etc. should now be
activated when the programmed button is
pressed.
If you experience any difficulties programming,
please contact HomeLink ®
at: 12
Certain markets only.
13 The name and color of the button varies depending on the manufacturer.

Programming individual buttons
To program an individual HomeLink
®
button:
1. Press and hold the desired button for about 20 seconds.
2. When the indicator light on HomeLink ®
starts flashing slowly, it is possible to pro-
gram as usual.
Note: If the button you are reprogramming
does not program with a new device, it will
return to the previously saved programming.
Resetting the HomeLink ®
buttons
It is only possible to reset all HomeLink ®
buttons
at once. It is not possible to reset individual but-
tons. Individual buttons can only be reprogram-
med.
– Press and hold the outer buttons (1 and 3)
on HomeLink ®
for about 10 seconds.

When the indicator light goes from a
steady glow to flashing, the buttons have
been reset and are ready for reprogram-
ming.

Once HomeLink ®
is programmed, it can be
used instead of the separate remote controls.
Press and hold the programming button. The
garage door, gate, alarm system, etc. will be acti-
vated (this may take several seconds). If the but-
ton is held down for more than 20 seconds,
reprogramming will begin. The indicator light will
glow steadily or flash when the button has been
pressed. The original remote controls may be
used concurrently with HomeLink ®
if desired.
NOTE If the ignition is off, HomeLink
®
works for
30 minutes after the driver's door has been
opened.
WARNING •
If you use HomeLink ®
to open a garage
door or gate, be sure no one is near the
gate or door while it is in motion.
• Do not use HomeLink ®
with any garage
door opener that lacks safety stop and
reverse features as required by US fed-
eral safety standards (this includes any
garage door opener model manufactured
before April 1, 1982). A garage door that
cannot detect an object - signaling the
door to stop and reverse - does not meet
current U.S. federal safety standards. For
more information, contact HomeLink at:

A phone equipped with Bluetooth can be wire-
lessly connected to the vehicle's integrated
hands-free system.
The audio and media system offers hands-free
functionality for remotely controlling a number of
the phone's features. The phone's integrated
controls can also be used, even when it is con-
nected to the vehicle.
When the phone has been paired and connected
to the vehicle, it can be used as an Internet con-
nection or to make or receive calls, send or
receive text messages or wirelessly play music. The phone is controlled from
the center display but the App

||MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
600
Monthly:
•
Check cold tire pressure in all tires. Inspect
the tires for wear.
• Check that engine coolant and other fluid
levels are between the indicated "min" and
"max" markings.
• Clean interior glass surfaces with a glass
cleaner and soft paper towels.
• Wipe driver information displays with a soft
cloth.
• Visually inspect battery terminals for corro-
sion. Corrosion may indicate a loose terminal
connector, or a battery near the end of its
useful service life. Consult your Volvo retailer
for additional information.
As needed:
Wash the car, including the undercarriage, to
reduce wear that can be caused by a buildup of
dirt, and corrosion that can be caused by salt res-
idues.
Clean leaves and twigs from air intake vents at
the base of the windshield, and from other places
where they may collect.
NOTE Complete service information for qualified
technicians is available online for purchase or

workshop 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 workshop
will be easier and more effective when diagnos-
tics information and software can be transferred
over the workshop's network.
When you arrive at the workshop, your technician
can connect your vehicle to the workshop's Wi-Fi
network 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 the
designated workshop networks, not to any other
network, e.g. your home network.
Manual connection to workshop Wi-FiManual connection is usually performed by a
service technician. Because the technician uses
the buttons on your remote key to connect the
vehicle, it is important that you bring a key with
buttons when taking the vehicle in to a workshop.
Pressing the lock button on the remote key three
times will connect the vehicle to the workshop's
Wi-Fi network.
When the car is connected to a Wi-Fi network,
the symbol appears in the center display.
