Volvo explained that the new app is the most comprehensive for controlling and monitoring the car from anywhere at any time.
Steve Jacoby, vice-president of Volvo, commented: "We design cars around people's needs and lifestyle.
"Creating an intuitive driver's environment is part of our aim to offer a feeling of relaxed control. It is only logical that you should feel in command of your vehicle - even after you've parked it."
The app, which is an extension of Volvo On Call, will ensure that drivers can make use of a range of connectivity possibilities via an iPhone or Android smartphone.
Volvo confirmed that the app is free and can be downloaded via the iPhone and Android application stores.
