Volvo Car drivers can now monitor their car remotely through an ‘On Call’ application for smartphones.

Features in the new app include checking whether the car is secure – if not, the doors can be locked remotely – locating the vehicle when parked in an unfamiliar city, check fuel level, average fuel consumption, mileage and trip meter data, plus basic maintenance details such as bulb faults, windscreen washer fluid, brake fluid, oil and coolant levels.

A honk and flash facility allows the user to locate their car in a crowded car park.

The Volvo On Call App is available in Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Russia, Spain, United Kingdom, Sweden and Switzerland. In Portugal services are available from a customer centre located in one of the other countries.

In order to find new ideas for further development, Volvo is using crowdsourcing on Facebook, where people around the world can share and vote for their favourite feature idea.
