You need an up to date copy of VIDA. But Volvo just changed VIDA to a web based version so the counterfeiters who sell the copies in eBay can't do anything.
You would need to buy what we use at the dealer from volvotechinfo.com. I don't know what it costs, but I'm sure it's not worth it for a car that is under warranty.

Anyway, thanks to the pointer to the VIDA. Seems it is a subscription service and I am not really interested in subscribing, unless...I can download the SM, or the major pieces of it. Do they have such a thing?
Assuming I don't subscribe to the VIDA service, can I get a hardcopy (or even a softcopy (bootleg?) of the SM anywhere?
Thanks for your help....

As of now, no. There won't be a hard copy... Volvo hasn't had a hard copy in over 15 years. Bootleg will take time, but I don't know if someone will be able to hack this one like they did the old version of VIDA.
What kind of info are you looking for? The owners manual should cover it pretty well. If you're looking for more technical info, any advisor you talk to won't be able to help much because they don't have near the level of training is technicians do with regard to technical aspects.

recommended fluid flush intervals, fluid specs, etc.
For my 2004 Saab I had a copy of their WIS service DVD and would read that and a Bentley SM for the 9-5 that came out maybe 3-4 years after my car hit the market. Combo of both were helpful. Could print out anything I needed from the WIS DVD. Was helpful as it gave saab P/Ns for just about everything.
Oh well, thanks for the input, I'll keep checking around.
