Reboot Central Computer

✓ Settings retained⏱ 3–5 min◷ Once per 24 h

Fixes most faults including Charging Faults, Pilot Assist Faults, driver-display errors and most other things.

Park the vehicle and keep it on (Ready mode) — no charger connected.
Press and hold the brake pedal — keep holding until the last step.
At the same time, press and hold both:
- – Minus button — left side of the steering wheel
- Vol ▲ Volume Up — right side of the steering wheel
Keep holding until you see “System Communication Error / Fault” on the instrument panel (10–20 seconds).
Now press and hold the PARK button (end of the gear selector) for 2 seconds to complete the reset. There’s no immediate feedback (screens may dim slightly), but things reset after 30–60 seconds.

ℹ️

The car will show many errors as it comes back online. After it settles you may still see a few indicators — don’t panic. Get out, walk away (lets the car power down), come back in a few minutes and you’re good to go.

💡

New tip: Reboot the Displays / Infotainment right after this. The two combined fix most issues.

🗺️

Restore Missing Google Maps & Assistant

✓ Data & keys retained⏱ ~1 min

Fixes Google Maps and Google Assistant disappearing — maps not working or Google not responding to voice commands because the apps are missing.

Open Settings›System›Applications›Show all apps
Scroll to Google Maps, tap it, then Enable it. Repeat for the Google Assistant app.
Open both apps — everything should work again.

🚦

Fix Missing Speed-Limit Indicator

✓ Settings retained⏱ ~2 min

If the speed limit has stopped showing on the driver’s display, this brings it back.

Open Settings›System›Applications›Show all apps
Scroll to Google Maps, tap it, then Storage & cache.
Tap Clear storage and Clear cache. You’ll likely have to re-login to Google Maps.

ℹ️

I’ve yet to experience this problem since upgrading to 1.3.18.

📺

Reboot Displays / Infotainment

✓ Data & keys retained⏱ 1–2 min

Fixes excessive screen lag, misbehaving apps, frozen screens and more.

Make sure the car is parked and not charging.
Press and hold the Play / Pause button until the screens go black (approx. 45 seconds).
When the displays return, everything is back to normal in about a minute.
If issues remain, reboot the Central Computer and try again.

🔑

Reset the Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Digital Key Module

◷ 1.2.15 only✓ Data & keys retained⏱ ~20 min

Fixes most digital-key issues — can’t add digital keys, or your phone no longer unlocks the car.

Unlock the car and exit — don’t lock it. Stand outside by the driver’s door.
If you use your phone as a digital key, turn off Bluetooth or move your phone away from the car. Move any key tags away too.
Tap your finger on the indent on the driver’s door handle and hold for 1 second, then lift your finger.
Repeat the previous step four more times (5 taps total, one second each).
The car won’t react at all — it feels useless and silly, but it works!
Walk away and leave it untouched for 20 minutes. Don’t interact with the vehicle — no door handles, no Volvo app, and no key fobs nearby.
When you come back, digital-key functionality should be working again.

ℹ️

This doesn’t appear to be necessary on 1.3.18 and later.

Leaving People or Pets in the Car (Dog Mode)

✓ Settings retained⏱ < 1 min

If you (the driver) leave the car with people or pets inside and lock it, the internal motion sensors will trigger the alarm, and the climate turns off when you leave. Override both:

Turn off motion sensors: Settings›Controls›scroll to Locking›turn on Occupant locking
