Remote Heater Start – Direct start/stop
The direct start/stop of the parking heater provides a means to immediately start/stop the
parking heater.
Limitations:
• VOC uses GSM/GPRS to communicate. If no connection can be established with the
vehicle, the function will NOT perform as expected.
• The function will not start immediately since the function relies on the SMS being
delivered to the vehicle. This will typically take 5-10 seconds.
Remote Heater Start – Configure Timers
Use the "configure timers" function to program your car pre-heater in the next 24 hours.
You should indicate the time you plan to leave and your car will calculate what time the
heater should be started based on the exterior temperature.
Your heater has two timers available for use, with the Mobile App you can:
· Check the current status of the parking heater timers
· Modify/cancel an existing start time
· Program each timer for your time of departure
Notes:
• VOC uses GSM/GPRS to communicate. If no connection can be established with the
vehicle, the function will NOT perform as expected.
• The function will not start immediately since the function relies on the SMS being
delivered to the vehicle. This will typically take 5-10 seconds.
• If the ambient temperature is around 15 degrees or above the parking heater will not
be started. Consult your vehicle owners manual for more details about the heater.
• If the fuel level or battery charge is too low it will not allow the heater to start
• If you change the timer setup from the car it will be visible in the mobile application
about one minute after the key is removed
• Make sure to set the clock correctly in the vehicle in order for the function to work
properly.
Note for Volvo On Call MY11 owners
The Volvo On Call MY12 Mobile App cannot currently be used to control your Volvo On Call
MY11 heater, instead we refer to either the SMS option (as described in the Volvo On Call
MY11 owners pages) or by downloading an heater mobile application, see
www.volvocars.com/VolvoOnCall for more info how to achieve these applications to your
phone (if supported by Volvo Car Corporation).
Status - Car Locator
The Car Locator function provides a graphical map inside the mobile application showing
both the current position of the mobile device and the last known position of the vehicle.
The map view also provides a compass function (on supported devices), which will assist the
driver by showing the direction in which the vehicle is located.
