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.

Unverified roads
A small number of roads in the system may be
unverified. This means that information on
signs, one-way streets, left turns, etc., may not
be accurate.
An itinerary containing unverified roads will be
displayed in grey on the map.
The system’s default setting is to avoid unverified roads, and for this reason, no itineraries are
planned on them. These settings can be
changed under Settings
Customise route, see page 54.
The system provides information when an
unverified road is added to an itinerary and
when the vehicle begins to travel on one of
these roads.

NOTE
Supplementing the map database
•
requires a certain knowledge of computers.
The POI file formats and procedures for
•
downloading these files are set by the
respective manufacturers/distributors.
This means that there is no standard
procedure for downloading these files
and these instructions cannot give
exact step-by-step instructions for
doing so.
Contact your Volvo retailer if you have
•
any questions about downloading POI
files.
The following is a general example of the procedure for downloading a POI file from the
Internet:
1. Go to the source's web site and search for
the POI file to be downloaded.
2. Select a POI file with the "gpx" format and
download it. If the file is not available in the
gpx format, it will have to be converted to
this format after it has been downloaded
3. Copy the POI file to a USB flash drive.
4. Insert the flash drive in the vehicle's USB
socket, located under the center console
armrest. In the infotainment system's
menus, go to Settings
MyPOI.
5.
When the files have been imported, certain settings can be made for the new MyPOI group:

Some examples of symbols that can be
selected to be displayed on the map:
The Global Positioning System (GPS) indicates
the car’s position with an accuracy of about
65 feet (20 meters).
Accuracy may be even less when driving on
roads lying parallel to another road, winding
roads, roads on several levels, and also after
driving a long distance without making any distinct turns.
Tall buildings and mountains, tunnels, viaducts, over/underpasses etc., also have a negative affect on the reception of GPS signals,
which means that the estimation of the car’s
position may not be precise.
VNS does not always calculate the
fastest/shortest route.
Parameters such as distance, width of road,
06
type of road, number of right or left turns, traffic
circles etc., are all taken into account when
calculating the best theoretical route. Experience and local knowledge may, however, lead
to a better choice of route.
The VNS system chooses toll roads,
freeways, and ferries even though I have
opted to avoid them.
When calculating routes over longer distances,
for technical reasons the system can only use
major roads. If you select
NO for toll roads and
freeways, they will be avoided as much as possible, but will be used if no other reasonable
alternative is available.
After being transported, the car’s
position on the map is incorrect.
If the car is transported, for example by ferry or
train, or in such a way as to impede the reception of GPS signals, it can take up to 5 minutes
to calculate the car’s new position correctly.
The vehicle’s position on the map is
incorrect after its battery has been
disconnected.
If power has been cut from the GPS antenna,
it can take more than 5 minutes for the GPS
signals to be received correctly and the car’s
position to be calculated.
The car symbol on the map moves
erratically after a tire change
In addition to the GPS receiver, the vehicle’s
speedometer and an onboard gyro are also
used to calculate the vehicle’s current location
and direction of travel. If the spare tire is put on
the vehicle, or is a change is made from summer to winter tires (or vice versa), the navigation system must "learn" the new dimensions
of the tire(s). Therefore, it may be necessary to
drive for several miles, including a number of
turns, for the system to make this adjustment.
The map image does not correspond to
actual conditions.
Factors such as the constant expansion and
rebuilding of the road network, new traffic regulations constantly being introduced etc.,
mean that the digital map database is not
always complete.
The maps and data on the DVDs are static.
They will not automatically update to reflect
real-life changes to road and traffic patterns.
Updated DVDs are produced periodically.
Please contact your Volvo retailer for more
information about availability.
The map scale sometimes changes.
There is no detailed map information for certain
areas. If this is the case, the system automatically changes the map scale.
Certain menu options are not available.
Check the settings that you have made. Select
Reset to default for the particular option to
return to the default settings.
The car symbol on screen jumps forward
or spins.
The system may need a few seconds to sense
the position and movement of the car before
you drive off.
1. Switch off the VNS system and the ignition.

2. Switch on the ignition again and restart
VNS, but remain at a standstill for a short
time before driving off.
I am planning a long trip but do not want
to specify destinations in the cities that I
will be passing through. What is the
easiest way to set up an itinerary?
Select the final destination directly on the map
using the cross hairs. The system will automatically guide you to the final destination even if
you drive past intermediate destinations.
