If you’re a Volvo owner, you might already be familiar with the Volvo Cars app. But did you know that the Volvo Cars app and winter go hand-in-hand? That's right, the app can do a lot to help you out when the cold weather hits. Indeed, the Volvo Cars app can help you make the most of your Volvo. With features like charge monitoring, remote climate control, and locking and unlocking, the app is perfect for winter. Let's see those in more detail.
For starters, the app can help you keep track of your car's maintenance. With the Volvo Cars app, you can easily view your car's service history and schedule service appointments. This way, you can make sure your car is always running smoothly - even in the dead of winter.
How the Volvo Cars App Can Help You This Winter
The Volvo Cars app is a handy tool for drivers year-round, but it really comes in handy during winter. For starters, the app can be used to start your car from inside your home so that it’s warmed up by the time you get to it. No more sitting in a cold car waiting for the heat to kick in!
The app can also be used to lock and unlock your car doors, so you don’t have to fumble with keys in gloves. And if you’ve ever lost your car in a parking lot full of similar-looking vehicles, the app can help with that too – just use the “Find My Car” feature and follow the directions on your screen.
But perhaps most useful of all for electric vehicle drivers is the charge tracking feature. With it, you can see how much charge your battery has left as well as how much electricity consumption there’s been since you last plugged in. This is especially handy if you have a home charging station and want to make sure there’s enough juice left to get you through your commute. It’s just one more way that the Volvo Cars app helps make winter driving a breeze.
So if you haven’t already done so, be sure to download the Volvo Cars app before winter really sets in. It’s available for free on iOS and Android devices. And if you have any questions about how to use any of the features we mentioned here, feel free to contact us – we’d be happy to help!
