VOLVO NAVIGATION SYSTEM (VNS) WITH RTT
VNS is a navigation system developed by Volvo, which 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.
The navigation control is located on the right
rear side of the steering wheel, see page 28.
The buttons on the remote control have the
same function as the navigation control on the
steering wheel.

These symbols 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.

Frequently asked questions
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.
How can I select a final destination/
intermediate destination that is not on
the DVD that is currently being used?
Begin by scrolling to the desired destination to
see if the road network and detailed information are displayed normally on the screen. If so,
set a normal route.
If this is not the case, this indicates that the
system cannot "see" the destination outside of
the area contained on the current map DVD.
Set a route with a destination that is close to
the boundary with the next map area.
When the route reaches the boundary for the
current map DVD, switch to the DVD containing
the next map area and a new route will be set.
NOTE
If the system no longer shows the road
•
network and detailed information normally, the vehicle has entered an area
contained on another map DVD. Switch
to the correct DVD.
The various DVDs overlap with adjacent
•
DVD map areas to different extents. For
this reason, try switching to another
DVD.
The navigation system contains several
DVDs. How do I know which one to use?
You should primarily use the DVD that contains
detailed information about the area in which
you live. This information is printed on the
DVD’s jewel case and on the disc.
If you plan to drive through several states or
provinces, it is advisable to have all of the DVDs
handy.
Will my itinerary disappear when I
change map DVDs?
No, the itinerary will be stored until you delete
it.
The system’s map information is not upto-date
Contact your Volvo retailer for updated map
information.
WARNING
Navigating safely
Always use good judgment when following
navigation system guidance, and do not follow guidance that seems contrary to your
own best judgment.
Why are no street addresses available for
destinations in another state?
Each map DVD contains basic information for
the entire network of roads. Detailed information such as addresses, points of interest, etc.,
are split up among the respective DVDs for
geographic areas. Otherwise, the DVDs are
identical. Check that the correct DVD for the
area that your destination is in is inserted in the
navigation system’s DVD player.
How can I easily check to see which DVD
is activated?
See SettingsSystem optionsAbout for
information on the DVD’s version and which
geographic area it covers.
