Main unit
The main unit is fitted in the cargo area and
includes the following functions:
•
Calculating the position of the car
•
Calculating the route to the specified des-
tination
•
Handling traffic information
•
Voice guidance
•
DVD player
NOTE
The DVD player's EJECT button is located
to the left and the lock button to the right of
the unit.
•
The main unit's DVD player is only
designed for Volvo's map discs.
The GPS receiver and the receiver for traffic
information (TMC) are 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 nav-
igation system registers and calculates the
route outline even if the GPS signal is tempo-
rarily lost, e.g. when driving through a tunnel.
Traffic information
TMC (Traffic Message Channel) is a standar-
dised 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 coverage area of the system is under
constant development which is why
updates can sometimes be necessary, see
page 22.
Antenna for GPS
The antenna is integrated into the roof antenna.
Speakers
Navigation system audio uses the front loud-
speakers.
Screen
The screen displays maps and provides
detailed information on route type, distance,
menus etc. For screen care, see page 23.
IMPORTANT
Do not place any objects in front of the GPS
navigator's display screen - the surface
could then be scratched. Mobile phones
can also interfere with the display screen's
function.
Keypad
The keypad is located on the right-hand rear
side of the steering wheel. Use it to scroll
between different menu options, to confirm
selections or to move back in menus. see
page 20.
Volume control and IR receiver
Use the audio system volume control during an
ongoing voice message to adjust the volume.
The volume can also be changed in the menu
system.
The IR receiver for the remote control is located
above the centre console's numeric keypad.
