SOUND, MEDIA AND INTERNET  
downloaded apps can also be deactivated  
there. Note that services and apps cannot be  
used as intended if data sharing is deacti-  
vated.  
User terms and conditions and  
data sharing  
The first time certain services and apps are  
started, a pop-up window with the headings  
Terms and conditions and Data sharing  
may be shown.  
The purpose is to inform about Volvo's user  
terms and conditions and policy for data shar-  
ing. By accepting data sharing, the user  
accepts that certain information is sent from  
the car. This is required so that certain servi-  
ces and apps can have full functionality.  
Activating and deactivating data  
sharing  
Data sharing for services and apps required  
can be set in the centre display's settings  
menu.  
After a factory reset or e.g. a workshop visit or  
software update, the data sharing settings  
may have been reset to their default settings.  
In which case, reactivate data sharing for  
online services and for downloaded apps.  
1.  
Tap on Settings in the centre display's  
top view.  
2. Press System Privacy and data.  
3. Select activation or deactivation of data  
sharing for individual services and all apps.  
If data sharing has not been activated for an  
online service or downloaded apps, this can be  
done when they are started in the centre dis-  
play. If this is the first time a service is started,  
or e.g. after a factory reset or certain software  
updates, Volvo's terms and conditions for  
online services need to be approved. Note that  
data sharing will then also be activated for  
other services or apps for which sharing has  
already been approved.  
Privacy and data sharing settings are  
unique for every driver profile.  
The data sharing function for online services  
and apps is deactivated as default19. Data  
sharing needs to be activated so that certain  
online services and apps in the car can be  
used. Data sharing can be set from the centre  
display's settings menu or in connection with  
the services or apps being started in the cen-  
tre display.
