There are several ways to connect your car to the internet. When the car can access the internet in more than one way, it  
prioritises them in the following order:

Bluetooth-connected phone tethering

Wi-Fi  
You can connect the car to a Wi-Fi network for internet access. The car can automatically connect to the network whenever it's  
within range.  
Bluetooth-connected phone tethering  
When a phone is connected to the car via Bluetooth, the car can use the phone's mobile internet connection. To do this,  
Bluetooth tethering needs to be enabled for the phone in the car's connectivity settings. Both the phone and the mobile net-  
work provider need to support sharing an internet connection through tethering.  
Mobile network[ ]

Your car has a built-in modem for connecting to a mobile network. The mobile internet connection is set up before you get your  
car and is included for a certain number of years. As long as the car has an active mobile network service plan and it's in an area  
with network reception, it can connect to the internet. Contact an authorised Volvo workshop for information about mobile  
connectivity services for your car.  
The car supports mobile networks up to, and including, 4G.
