VOLVO NAVIGATION SYSTEM (VNS) WITH RTT
VNS is a navigation system developed by Volvo that is
designed to help guide you to the destination of your choice
and provide information along the way.
RTT1 (Real Time Traffic) is an information system developed by Volvo,
which can detect roads/streets with traffic disruptions and make it
possible to select an alternative route past the problem area.
The system includes features that enable you to set itineraries, search
for certain types of points of interest along your route, store special
destinations, obtain traffic informaton en route, etc.
The system indicates the vehicle’s current location, and shows part
or all of the route to your destination, depending on the settings you
have made. If at any time you should decide to deviate from the route
originally set by the system, a new route to the destination will automatically be calculated.
By enabling you to reach your destination quickly and by the most
direct route, Volvo's navigation system also helps contribute to
improving the environment.
With the ignition switched on (see the section
"Ignition modes" in the Owner's Manual):
1. Press the remote key fully into the ignition
slot to activate ignition mode I.
2. If the navigation system does not start
within a few seconds, press NAV on the
center console control panel.
Disclaimer
When the system is started, it displays the following text, which must be confirmed:
Press the OK button.

engine is not running. To help avoid battery
drain, the system should be turned off when
it is not in use.

The system has a Demonstration mode that
can be used to help acquaint you with the navigation system, see page 61.

Changes in the manual
The specifications, design features, and illustrations in this manual are not binding.
We reserve the right to make modifications
without prior notice.
The Volvo Navigation System uses the WGS84
reference system, which provides the vehicle's
location in terms of longitude and latitude.
The VNS system can be used even if a destination has not been specified.
WARNING
Always use good judgment when fol-
•
lowing navigation system guidance,
and do not follow guidance that seems
contrary to your own best judgment.
Never use the navigation system or any
•
other feature in your vehicle in a way
that distracts you from the task of driving safely. Distraction can lead to a serious accident.
Set and make changes in your naviga-
•
tion system only with the vehicle
parked.
Be aware of the current traffic situation.
•
Always comply with relevant traffic reg-
•
ulations.
Map mode
When the system is started, it displays the following text, which must be confirmed by pressing the OK/MENU button:
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.
When this has been done, a map showing the
current area will be displayed with the vehicle
shown as a blue triangle.
Settings
The system is delivered with default settings
but after these settings have been modified by

can be restarted where it left off the next time
the engine is started. To do so:
If the disc is in the DVD player: start the
•
engine; the update will resume automatically. Follow the instructions on the screen.
If the disc has been removed from the DVD
•
player: start the engine and insert the disc;
the update will resume automatically. Follow the instructions on the screen.
DVD care
When changing discs, make sure that they
•
are kept free of oil, grease and other impurities.
The discs must not be exposed to mois-
•
ture.
The discs must be kept in their packaging
•
when not in use.
Avoid storing discs in excessive heat,
•
direct sunlight, or in a dusty environment.
Screen care
Clean the display screen with a soft, non-static
cloth or a moist paper towel and a mild window
cleaning agent.
Never use petroleum based solvents or abrasive substances when cleaning the screen.
CAUTION
Do not place any objects in front of the navigation system's screen. This could scratch
its surface. Cell phones could also interfere
with the screen's function.

Global Positioning System (GPS)
antenna
The antenna is integrated into the roof module.
Voice control
A number of navigation system commands can
be voice controlled. The microphone is near
the driver's sun visor (2a) and the voice control
button is located on the steering wheel keypad
(2b). For additional information, see page 26.
Main unit
The main unit is located in and behind the center console and includes the following functions:
Determining the vehicle’s location.
•
Calculating a route to the selected desti-
•
nation.
Voice guidance.
•
Processing traffic information.
•
The GPS and TMC receivers are integrated into
the main unit.
Vehicle location
The navigation system uses signals from the
Global Positioning System, the vehicle’s
speedometer and a gyroscopic sensor to cal-
culate the vehicle’s current location and direction.
This also helps the system calculate direction
and location if the GPS signal is temporarily
interrupted, such as when driving through a
tunnel.
Traffic information (TMC)*
The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) is a standardized code system for transmitting traffic
information. The receiver automatically tunes
to the correct frequency and reception is handled by the audio system’s FM antenna.
NOTE
TMC is not available in all areas/countries.
The area covered by the system is being
steadily expanded, which makes occasional updates necessary.
See page 17 for information about updating
maps and system software.
Screen
The screen displays the maps and provides
detailed information about routes, distances,
etc.
For information about caring for the screen,
see page 18.
Center console controls
The number keys in the center console can be
used together with the OK/MENU, TUNE and
EXIT buttons to navigate in menus, confirm
selections or to go back in a menu, see
page 23.
Volume control and IR transceiver
Use the vehicle’s audio system volume control
during voice guidance to raise or lower the volume. See also page 33. The volume can also
be adjusted in the MY CAR menu.
Point the remote control toward the center
console, where the Infrared (IR) transceiver is
located.
