How to Change the Language on a Volvo S40

The Volvo S40 sedan is available in a wide range of models that allow owners to choose everything from the fuel type to the interior options available with the car. Since Volvo offers the S40 internationally, owners may choose from gas, diesel or ethanol models, depending on their country's fuel options.


The display language for the computer and navigation packages must be chosen at the time of purchase or configured by the dealer once the vehicle is delivered, because special software and installation equipment are required.

  • Contact the dealer your car was purchased from or the nearest local Volvo dealer.

  • Make an appointment for them to change the display language on your S40.

  • Take the car to the dealer and allow them to install the desired language.
