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.
At the workshop, your service technician can con-nect your vehicle to the workshop's Wi-Fi net-work to perform troubleshooting and downloadsoftware. For this type of communication, thevehicle only connects to a workshop's network. Itis not possible to connect the vehicle to anotherWi-Fi network (e.g. your home network) in thesame way as to a workshop's network.
Connecting with remote key
Connection is usually managed by the servicetechnician, who will use the remote key buttons. Itis therefore important to bring a key with buttonswith you when you visit the workshop. Pressingthe lock button on the remote key three times willconnect the vehicle to the workshop's Wi-Fi net-work.
When the car is connected to a Wi-Fi network,
the symbol appears in the center display.
