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 possi-
ble 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 destina-
tions, obtain traffic informaton en route, etc.
The system indicates the vehicle’s current loca-
tion, 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 cal-
culated.
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.

General information
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 desti-
nation has not been specified.

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Introduction
The navigation system's voice control feature
enables you to voice-activate certain system
functions.
Voice commands offer convenience and help
avoid distractions so that you can concen-
trate on driving and focus your attention on
road and traffic conditions.
Additional information about using voice
commands can also be found in your
Owner's Manual, in the Infotainment chap-
ter's "Cell phone voice control" section.
WARNING
As the driver, you have full responsibility
for operating the vehicle safely and adher-
ing to all applicable traffic regulations.
The voice control feature uses the same
microphone as the Bluetooth® hands-free
system and system prompts are provided
through the infotainment system's front
speakers.
Since the microphone is positioned directly in
front of the driver, voice commands given by
other occupants of the vehicle may not be
understood.

For example, assume that the profile User 1
has been stored by a French-speaking driver
and the language set to Canadian French. If
the driver then changes the system language
to English, the profile User 1 can no longer
be selected because the system will now only
understand English and expect English to be
spoken. The alternative Default setting will
be active instead.
To improve the system's capability to under-
stand the driver's English pronunciation, carry
out voice training and store the results in the
profile User 2 with the language set to Eng-
lish (which will make both languages availa-
ble) or change the language profile for User 1
to English.

An itinerary must be set. If the driver deviates
from the proposed route and takes a different
one to the final destination, the system will
memorize the route that the driver has
chosen.
If the same itinerary is selected two more
times and the driver uses his/her "own" route
again, the system will show the driver's route.
If this alternative is marked and the same
route is driven three times, this new route will
be stored and replace the original itinerary.

Many companies offer POI files on their web
sites, which allows the user to supplement
Volvo's map database by showing POIs from
other sources.
NOTE
•
Supplementing the map database
requires a certain knowledge of com-
puters.
•
The POI file formats and procedures
for downloading these files are set by
the respective manufacturers/distribu-
tors. This means that there is no
standard procedure for downloading
these files and these instructions can-
not give exact step-by-step instruc-
tions for doing so.
•
Contact your Volvo retailer if you have
any questions about downloading POI
files.
The following is a general example of the pro-
cedure 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 con-
verted to this format after it has been
downloaded3.
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
Import/edit
MyPOI.
5.
Select Import + OK and follow the
instructions on the screen.
When the files have been imported, certain
settings can be made for the new MyPOI
group:
•
The name can be changed
•
The MyPOI map icon can be changed (if
an icon was included with the imported
POI file, it will automatically be preselec-
ted)
•
One of three different audible alerts can
be selected (to alert the driver when the
vehicles approaches the MyPOI icon on
the map, see page 58)
•
Choose to display/hide MyPOI icons on
the map.
When all of the choices have been made,
select Store + OK to complete the procedure
or to import/edit a new POI group.
All POIs that have been added will be placed
under the heading "My POI".

06 Questions & Answers
Frequently asked questions

76
The vehicle’s position on the map is
incorrect.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) indi-
cates 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, via-
ducts, over/underpasses etc., also have a
negative affect on the reception of GPS sig-
nals, 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,
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, how-
ever, 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 dis-
tances, 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 loca-
tion 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 cer-
tain areas. If this is the case, the system auto-
matically 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.
