General
Volvo navigation system is based on Navstar
Global Positioning System, commonly known
as GPS.
The GPS system uses reference system
WGS84, which gives longitude and latitude
positions.
The car's navigation system can be used with-
out a destination being selected.
Map mode
Upon start-up, the navigation system shows an
on-screen text message, which must be con-
firmed by pressing the OK/MENU button. The
text is as follows:
•
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.
Then a map of the current geographic area is
shown where the car is symbolised by a blue
triangle in the centre of the map.
Settings
The system is supplied with default settings,
but starts with the settings last used.
There is a function that resets all settings to
default settings simultaneously, see
page 49.
On/Off
On
1. Push the remote control key into the igni-
tion switch.
2. The screen activates automatically in the
key position I (see the car's manual).
3.
Press the centre console's button NAV if

matically.
4.

The system may need a few seconds in order
to detect the position and movement of the car.
Off
The system is shut down when the remote con-
trol key is removed from the ignition switch.
The navigation system cannot be switched off
manually, but always works in the background
after the Start up sequence. If the system is

•
Reply EXIT at the Start up sequence, see
section map mode.
NOTE
The Navigation system is also available
when the engine is switched off. When the
battery level gets too low the system
switches off.
Demo (simulated guidance)
To see how the system works, guidance to an
indicated destination can be simulated on-
screen - see page 51.
