Working in Volvo Impact

Work in Impact is based on searching for Parts-, Service-, Standard time- and Tool information.

In the Navigate tab you search relevant information in those areas. You need to know two things: which vehicle that is concerned, and the function group of the function/system you are interested in. You can also add additional search values to narrow down the search result.

Thereafter you can work with the information in the Detail tab.

You can reduce your workload with the My List function to administrate the information. Here you can also make use of the interfaces from Impact to other systems that your dealer has. This is done through the Send information section.

In addition to this there are functions such as Notes and Bookmarks that you can use to mark-up specific information.

If there are major concerns that need to be reported, please use the Information concern report.

Search for information

The Navigator is used for searching. The tabs in the Navigator are marked Parts, Service information, Standard times, and Tools.

You search in a similar way in all the Navigator tabs (except the My list tab). The tabs contain different search fields, but with a few exceptions the search procedure is as follows:

In the Top menu, select Navigator.
Choose tab: Parts, Service, Standard times, or Tools.
Click the Navigate tab.
Enter search criteria about the object you are searching for. See Search Criteria informationbelow.
(Optional) Click Additional Search values, to enter extra search information to narrow your search.
Click Search. The result appears. (If it is a parts catalogue, you can select between text or pictures directly in the results. Click the information link (or the Thumbnail images icon, if applicable).
Click the preferred information. Now the Detail tab is shown, and the detailed information is presented.
The search result can easily be extracted and attached to an E-mail or sent to the Printer.

Search criteria information

This section covers the way the information is structured. It also covers different search criteria and how to narrow down your search.

Function groups structure

The structure of the service and parts information follows Volvo's function group structure.

The function groups are divided into 10 main groups:

0 General (Cannot be associated with any specific function)

1 Service and maintenance

2 Engine with mountings and ancillaries

3 Electrical system and instruments (lighting, instrumentation)

4 Power transmission

5 Brakes

6 Suspension and steering

7 Frame, springs, damping and wheels

8 Body, cab and interior trim

9 Other (special functions)
 


All Parts information for vehicles built prior to week 35, 2003 in the parts catalogue are at a 2-digit level in the function group structure (does not apply to North America).

The main groups are in turn subdivided into sub groups, that end with a 4-digit function group. However, Impact only uses a 3–digit level. Example:

2 Engine with mountings and ancillaries

23 Fuel system, including gas operation

236 Injection pump, regulator, pump coupling

(2365 Pump coupling) (The 4–digit level is NOT supported by Impact)
 


Select Chassis ID or Model

We recommend that you always use the Chassis ID when you search in the Navigator. The system filters away non-relevant information, making it obsolete to select model or variant.

General search using Model

When you search for information based on Model, the search result will be wider and less specific than when using Chassis ID. To get more specific information you need to manually enter values for variant, Chassis number series, or other parameters.

Note: (Applies only for Volvo Trucks) From and including December 2005, new model names are introduced: FM and FH. All old model names remain and will not conflict with new models when searching in Impact. If you want to search on the new model, FH and FM should be used, followed by variant selection depending on engine size or horse powers.

Searching using Chassis ID/Model in Parts information

Chassis-unique parts information (from and including week 35, 2003) is produced in such a way that Impact filters away non-relevant information and the user does not need to select a model or a variant. The information can be found at all function group levels, but the major part is within the 3-digit level (i.e. 511).

Note: Parts Information based on Chassis ID is available for all USA-built vehicles and for vehicles built after week 35, 2003).

Catalogue-based parts information (produced prior to week 35, 2003) is based on the chassis number series that was previously used in the parts catalogues, which is always found within the 2-digit function group level type (i.e. 51). If you want to search for Parts information based on Model, we recommend that you select a 2-digit function group level to give a more accurate search result (i.e. 51).

Note: Catalogue-based parts information does not apply to North America.

Service Information types

The service information is divided into different Information types. An information search can be limited to one type or one area. This helps you to narrow down your search result and to reduce response time.

In My settings, under Default service information type, you can adjust Impact to start with the information type that you normally use.

Information types are divided into the following main areas:

All Service information
 Covers all following information types (marked with a bullet in front in Impact).

 Rebuilding information for tools and, for the USA, campaign-related information as well.
