ROCKLEIGH, N.J. — Volvo Cars of North America LLC (VCNA) announced the addition of Protection Plus+, a factory scheduled maintenance package, to its Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) warranty program.

IntelliChoice recently named Volvo as having the best premium certified pre-owned program for 2011, marking the fourth consecutive year the CPO program has been awarded this honor.

"We realize people have a lot of options when shopping for vehicles. Protection Plus+ is a way to set Volvo apart from other manufacturers and offer something more for our customers that they'll truly appreciate - lower total cost of ownership and added peace of mind," said Doug Speck, VCNA president and CEO. "We also wanted to provide a comparable option for our CPO vehicles to the services that are covered on our new vehicles."

Protection Plus+ creates a best-in-class protection package by coupling factory scheduled maintenance coverage with Volvo's award-winning CPO warranty program, which includes:

• An exclusionary warranty that provides factory-backed coverage on thousands of components, systems and operations

• Six-year/100,000 miles protection covering replacement or repair of defective components

• Volvo On Call Roadside Assistance for six years/100,000 miles

• $0 deductible
