the date the part was originally purchased. Some
genuine Volvo parts/accessories are covered by
their own specific limited warranty for a different
period. For those parts/accessories, the applicable
warranty is supplied at the time of purchase,
including a list of conditions and limitations.
Customer AssistanceShould you have questions regarding the
warranties or repairs, please review the article
“Customer Support and Assistance” in this
booklet for owner information and instructions.
Non-commercial vehicles are covered by On Call
®,
a roadside assistance program which provides
coverage for some specific items not covered by
the warranties (e.g., towing). A separate booklet
describing this program is supplied in your
Owner’s Wallet.
Wear and Tear ItemsAs part of your vehicle’s normal service and
maintenance requirements, certain parts may
need to be replaced due to wear and tear. Since
these parts are consumed at varying rates,
replacement is based on the operation and
condition of your vehicle and on fixed schedules
under normal operation and use of your vehicle.
These items include, but may not be limited to, the
following list: filters, fuses, batteries, belts, brake
pads, brake rotors, wiper blades, shock absorbers,
floor mats, upholstery/rugs, etc.
Replacement of these items are the owner’s
responsibility, with the exception of those items
covered during the Adjustments Coverage Period
(see the following section) or where specific
manufacturing defects may be demonstrated.
Adjustments CoverageAdjustments which are refinements to the original
factory fittings and alignments, and which are
required as part of the break-in period, will be
made during the Adjustments Coverage Period.
Exceptions are items covered under normal
maintenance services, including Pre-Delivery or
items excluded in the New Vehicle section. The
duration of the adjustment coverage is twelve
(12) months or 12,000 miles/20,000 kilometers,
whichever occurs first.
The term “Adjustments” as used in this warranty
refers to minor repairs not usually associated with
the replacement of parts or normal maintenance
service items. Parts which are covered for
replacement because of wear during the
Adjustments Period only are: brake pads, brake
rotors and shock absorbers. These items may also
be covered under the Basic Warranty Period if
manufacturing defects cause the failure. Examples
of labor only repairs which are covered during the
Adjustments Period are wheel balancing, window
regulator adjustment and hood adjustment.What Is Not Warranted

of maintenance, or improper maintenance.
Correct maintenance procedures are

39
WARRANTY
The Warranty PeriodThe warranty period is five (5) years and has no
mileage/kilometer limitation.5 It begins with the
date the vehicle is sold/delivered to the first retail
purchaser or put into service, whichever occurs
first.
What Is Not Warranted• Seat belt system and Supplemental
Restraint System components which show
evidence of damage because of abuse,
misuse, negligence, tampering, or improper
installation.
• Replacement of seat belt system or
Supplemental Restraint System components
after a vehicle has been involved in a collision.
• The loss of vehicle use, loss of time,
inconvenience or other incidental charges,
such as telephone calls, towing, lodging,
car rental, or food, or other consequential
damages except where required by law.
• Repairs required as part of normal
maintenance.
• Replacement of components in accordance
with the maintenance schedule.
Seat belts: “Something We Believe In”
Seat belts are an integral part of the safety
system engineered into each Volvo.
Despite our strongest recommendations, and
your best intentions, not wearing a seat belt is
like believing “it’ll never happen to me!”
Volvo urges you and all adult occupants of your
car to properly wear seat belts in all seating
positions, and ensure that children are properly
restrained in the rear seats only, using an infant
car seat or booster seat determined by age,
weight and height.
Fact: In every state/province, some type of child
restraint legislation has been passed. Additionally,
most states/provinces have already made it
mandatory for occupants of a car to use seat
belts.
So, urging you to “buckle up” is not just our
recommendation – it’s becoming the law! The
few seconds it takes to buckle up may one day
allow you to say, “It’s a good thing I was wearing
my seat belt.”
Instructions for proper seat belt usage can be
found in your Owner’s Manual..

WARRANTY

Retailer Service
Repairs and service covered by this warranty will
be performed by an authorized Volvo retailer at his
place of business with no charge for parts or labor
(including diagnosis), using genuine Volvo parts or
genuine Volvo remanufactured parts for any part
of the emission control system covered by this
warranty and found defective.
If an emergency occurs and no authorized Volvo
retailer is available, repairs may be performed at
any available service establishment. Volvo will
reimburse the owner for such repairs (including
labor, in most cases) that are covered under this
warranty. Replaced parts and paid invoices must
be presented at a Volvo retail facility as a condition
of reimbursement for emergency repairs not
performed by a Volvo retailer.
We encourage you to have all recommended
maintenance and repairs on your new 2021 Volvo
vehicle completed. Volvo will not deny a warranty
claim solely because you have no record of
maintenance; however, Volvo may deny a warranty
claim if your failure to perform maintenance
resulted in the failure of a warranted part.
Receipts covering the performance of regular
maintenance must be retained for reference and
confirmation purposes.

The warranty repairs should be completed in a
reasonable amount of time, not to exceed thirty
