Read your engine fault codes on your laptop

Volvo plans to launch 13 new models by 2030, focusing on safety and electrification. The company's safety standards are informed by a database of over 50,000 accidents since 1970. Volvo's new EX40 and XC60 models feature upgraded sensors and over-the-air updates for enhanced safety. The multi-adaptive safety belt, introduced with the EX60, personalises seatbelt tension based on occupant data. Volvo's Safety Centre in Gothenburg continues to innovate with real-world data and human-centric design.

Why it matters for your car

Volvo's commitment to safety through data-driven design ensures drivers and passengers are protected in all scenarios.

For plug-in hybrids, AutoScan for Windows can read standard engine and emissions fault codes through a compatible ELM327 adapter; charging-system and high-voltage faults require vehicle-specific equipment.
