Installation of accessories
We strongly recommend that Volvo owners
only install Volvo approved original accesso-
ries, and that installation of accessories is
only carried out by trained and qualified Volvo
service technicians. Certain accessories only
function when associated software is instal-
led in the car's computer system.
•
Volvo original accessories are tested to
ensure that they function with the car sys-
tems for performance, safety and emis-
sions control. In addition, a trained and
qualified Volvo service technician knows
where accessories may or may not be
safely installed in your Volvo. Always seek
the advice of a trained and qualified Volvo
service technician before installing any
accessories in or on your car.
•
Accessories that are not approved by
Volvo may not have been specifically tes-
ted for use with your car.
•
Some of the car's performance or safety
systems can be negatively affected if you
install accessories that have not been tes-
ted by Volvo, or if you permit someone
without experience of the car to install
accessories.
•
Damage that is caused by accessories
installed in a non-approved or incorrect
way is not covered by any new car war-
ranty. More warranty information can be
found in the service and warranty booklet.
Volvo does not accept any liability for
deaths, personal injury or costs arising as
a result of the installation of non-original
accessories.
