ROAD AND TRAFFIC INFORMATION - RTI
Volvo's navigation system is a traffic information and road navigation system devel-
oped by Volvo. The system guides you to a
destination and gives information along the route.
It informs of situations that can affect the drive,
such as accidents, road works and shows alternative routes.
It is possible to create an itinerary, search for
facilities along the route, store special places etc.
The system displays the car's exact position and
in event of a wrong turning always corrects to
guide you to the destination.
You will see just how intuitive it is to use. Try it
out. In order to get along with the system we recommend that you familiarise yourself with the
information in this manual.
By facilitating accessibility and shortening driving
distances, Volvo's navigation system contributes
to a better environment.

General
The Volvo navigation system uses reference
system WGS84, which gives longitude and
latitude positions.
The car's navigation system can be used
without a destination being selected.
Map position
Upon start-up, the navigation system shows
an on-screen text message, which must be
confirmed by pressing the OK/MENU button.
The text is as follows:
•
This system provides route
information to help you reach your
destination. Due to road conditions,
some recommendations may not be
accurate. Obey all traffic laws and
drive based on your own good
judgement. Always concentrate on
your driving by keeping your eyes and
mind on the road.
Then a map of the current geographic area is
shown where the car is symbolised by a blue
triangle.
Settings
The system is supplied with default settings,
but starts with the settings last used.
There is a function that resets all settings to
default settings simultaneously, see
page 58.
On/Off
On
1. Push the remote control key into the ignition switch.
2. The screen activates automatically in the
key position I (see the car's manual).
3. Press the centre console's button NAV if
the navigation system does not start
automatically.
4. Press OK when the "Start up" text
appears on-screen, see previous section
"Map mode".
The system may need a few seconds in order
to detect the position and movement of the
car.
Off
The navigation system is shut down when the
remote control key is removed from the ignition switch.
The Navigator cannot be switched off manually, but always works in the background
after the "Start up" sequence. If the navigation system is not to be switched on:
•
Press EXIT at the "Start up" sequence,
see section "Map mode".
NOTE
The navigation system is also available
when the engine is switched off. When the
battery level gets too low the system
switches off.
Demo (simulated guidance)
To see how the system works, guidance to an
indicated destination can be simulated onscreen - see page 60.

Antenna for GPS
The antenna is integrated into the roof
antenna.
Voice recognition
Some procedures in the Navigation system
can also be voice controlled. The microphone
(2a) is fitted in the ceiling and the activation
button (2b) is located on the right-hand keypad on the steering wheel. For more information, see page 22.
Main unit
The main unit is fitted in and behind the centre console and includes the following functions:
•
Calculating the position of the car
•
Calculating the route to the specified destination
•
Handling traffic information
•
Voice guidance
•
DVD player
Receiver for GPS and traffic information
(TMC1) is integrated into the main unit.
Positioning
The car's speed sensor and a gyro calculate
the current position and the direction of travel
of the car using signals from the GPS satellite
system.
The advantage of this concept is that the
Navigation system registers and calculates
the route outline even if the GPS signal is
temporarily lost, e.g. when driving through a
tunnel.
Traffic information
TMC1 is a standardised coding system for
traffic information. The receiver automatically
searches for the correct frequency. Reception
takes place via the FM antenna.
NOTE
TMC is not available in all areas/countries.
The system's coverage area is under constant construction and updating may
sometimes be necessary.
For information about updating map data and
software, see page 27.
Screen
The screen displays maps and provides
detailed information on route type, distance,
menus etc. For information screen care, see
page 28.
Keypad, centre console
As an alternative to the steering wheel keypad, the centre console's numerical keypad
can be used in combination with buttons OK/
MENU, TUNE and EXIT to scroll between different menu options, confirm options or go
back in menus, see page 19.
Volume control and IR receiver
Use the audio unit's volume control during
ongoing voice messages to adjust the volume, see page 31. The volume can also be
adjusted in the menu system.
Point the remote control towards the centre
console during use - its IR receiver is located
there.

General about Voice control
Voice control means that certain functions in
the navigation system can be activated by the
spoken word.
The Voice commands offer comfort and help
the driver to avoid distraction - instead the
driver can concentrate on driving and focus
attention on the road and traffic situation.
WARNING
The driver always holds overall responsibility for driving the vehicle in a safe manner
and complying with all applicable rules of
the road.
The Voice control uses the common microphone of the hands-free system - the driver
receives responses to the Voice control
through the vehicle's loud speakers.
The microphone is positioned in the ceiling in
front of the driver for optimal take-up of the
driver's speech - it can however be disturbed
by/pick up loud voices from passengers.
Handling
Keypad in steering wheel.
Button for voice control
Activating the system
•
A short press on the steering wheel button (1) activates the voice recognition
system - a voice command can be given
after the tone.
Think of the following when using the voice
recognition system:
•
For commands - Speak after the tone
with a normal voice at a normal tempo
•
The car's doors, windows and sunroof
must be closed
•
Avoid background noise in the passenger
compartment.
NOTE
If the driver is unsure of which command
to use, he/she can say "
Help" - the sys-
tem then responds with several different
commands which can be used in the current situation.
Voice commands can be disabled by:
•
not speaking
•
saying "
Cancel"
•
hold the steering wheel button for
Voice recognition depressed for a couple of seconds
•
press EXIT
•
press one of the centre console's buttons NAV, RADIO, MEDIA, MY CAR
or CAM.
Use the voice command
Entering information in the navigation system
using the voice command is very simple
because the screen lists the frequently occurring commands to be used in the relevant situation.
Starting
A voice command is started as follows:
02 Get to know your navigation system
Voice recognition
02
}}
23
1. Press the steering wheel button for Voice
control - the display lists examples of
possible commands.
2.
For example, select "
Navigation" - wait
for the tone and state the word clearly
and in normal conversational tone.
3.
The screen shifts to the option "
Repeat
instruction/Navigation go to address/
Itinerary" - Select and say "Itinerary".
Note that greyed out text and text in brackets
is not included in the spoken command.
NOTE
Greyed-out menu bars and options on the
screen are temporarily not selectable.
The command can be given in several
ways
The command "Navigation go to address"
can be stated as:
•
"
Navigation > Go to… > Address" - Say
"Navigation", wait for the system
response in the form of suitable onscreen options. Continue by saying, for
example, "Go to…" and conclude with
"Address".
or
•
Say the whole command in one sequence
- "
Navigation go to address".
Tips
Some good advice:
•
Give a command by first pressing the
voice button and then speaking naturally
after the tone.
•
To respond to the voice recognition system - speak after the tone at the end of
the question.
•
To interrupt the voice session - press and
hold the voice button or press the EXIT
button.
•
The driver can obtain help during a dialogue by saying "
Help" after a listening
tone.
•
The dialogue with the system can be
speeded up - Interrupt the system's
speech with a short press on the button's
voice button, wait for a tone and then
start talking.
•
The voice recognition system asks up to
3 times for an answer. If no answer is
given by the driver during this time then
the session is concluded.
Example
Here are some normal commands:
•
Navigation go to address
•
Navigation go to POI
•
Navigation delete next waypoint
•
Navigation cancel guidance.
NOTE
A complete list of quick commands is
available in the MY CAR menu - Go to
Settings Voice settings Voice
command list
Navigation commands.
Help functions and settings
In the menu system MY CAR there are programs where the driver can practice the different functions in the voice recognition system. To describe the menu system MY CAR see the car's normal instruction manual.
The better the driver knows the voice recognition system, the more comfortable the
driver will be using the functions. Practicing
using the integrated practice programs is
therefore recommended.
NOTE
The exercise programs are only accessible
when the car is stationary with the parking
brake applied.
Introduction to voice control
The program Voice tutorial gives the driver
step by step instructions in the use of the
voice recognition system and is a simple way
02 Get to know your navigation system
Voice recognition
02

of becoming familiar with the methods of giving commands.
The program can be started in two ways:
•
Press the steering wheel button for voice
control and say "
Voice tutorial".
or
•
Activate the program in MY CAR - Go to
Settings Voice settings Voice
tutorial
.
Voice training
The program Voice training teaches the
voice recognition system to recognise the
driver's voice and speech pattern. It is also
possible to create a second user profile - an
advantage if more than one person is likely to
use the car/system regularly.
•
The voice training is started in MY CAR Go to
Settings Voice settings
Voice training User 1 or User 2.
NOTE
Menu option Default setting can only be
changed to
User 1 after a lesson on Voice
training has been completed.
More settings in MY CAR
•
User profile - 2 x different user profiles
can be set. Go to
Settings Voice
settings
Voice user setting. Tick one
of the options
Default setting, User 1 or
User 2.
•
Voice volume - Go to
Settings Voice
settings
Voice output volume and
select the desired level.
The system's voice volume can also be
adjusted using the centre console TUNE
knob when the system is speaking.
Language
The voice recognition system is under constant development and at time of printing the
following languages were available:
•
English (UK)
•
English (US)
•
French (CAN)
•
French (FRA)
•
Dutch
•
Italian
•
Spanish (EU)
•
Spanish (US)
•
Swedish
•
German
NOTE
The voice recognition system in combination with GPS navigation only works with
the languages listed here.
To change the language - Go to Settings
System options Language and select.
The languages that are included in the
voice recognition system have this
icon in the language list.
Language dependent user profile
The voice recognition system only understands the language set in
System options.
Say that user profile User 1 is stored by a
Swedish speaking driver with the system set
in Swedish. If the driver changes the car language to English the user profile User 1 will
no longer be selectable because the system
now only understands, and expects English
speech - instead the option Default setting
becomes active.
To improve the system's understanding of the
driver's English speech the solution is to
teach and store the driver's English speech in
User 2 with the system set to English (to
have both variants available) or to replace the
Swedish language profile in User 1 with an
English profile.
