SENSUS NAVIGATION
Volvo's navigation system is a traffic infor-
mation and road navigation system devel-
oped by Volvo. Sensus Navigation guides
you to a destination and provides information
along the route. It informs of situations that can
affect the drive, such as accidents, road works
and shows alternative routes.
It is possible to create an itinerary, search for
facilities along the route, store special places, etc.
Sensus Navigation displays the car's exact posi-
tion and in event of a wrong turning always cor-
rects to guide you to the destination.
You will see just how intuitive it is to use. Try it
out. In order to get along with the system we rec-
ommend that you familiarise yourself with the
information in this manual.
By facilitating accessibility and shortening driving
distances, Volvo's navigation system also contrib-
utes to a better environment.

Activating the system
The car's electrical system must first be acti-
vated:
On
1. Push the remote control key into the igni-
tion switch.
2. If the navigation system does not start
within a few seconds - press the centre
console's NAV button.
The system may then need several seconds
to detect the position and movement of the
car - following which, the map is shown cov-
ering the current geographic area where the
car is symbolised by a blue triangle.
WARNING
Observe the following.
•Direct all your attention to the road
and make sure that all your concentra-
tion is on driving.
•Follow applicable traffic legislation and
drive with good judgment.
•Due to weather conditions or time of
year affecting the road conditions,
some recommendations may be less
reliable.
Off
The navigation system cannot be deacti-
vated, but instead operates in the back-
ground - it is not deactivated until the remote
control key is removed from the ignition
switch.
NOTE
The navigation system is also available
when the engine is switched off. When the
battery level gets too low the system
switches off.

Before starting
Important information to read before using the
navigation system.
General
Volvo Sensus Navigation uses reference sys-
tem WGS84, which gives longitude and lati-
tude positions.
The navigation system can be used without a
destination being selected.
Points to remember
The navigation system provides road informa-
tion which guides to a preset destination.
However, all of the recommended guidance is
not always reliable, since situations may arise
that are outside the capacity and judgement
of the navigation system, such as sudden
changes in the weather.
WARNING
Observe the following.
•Direct all your attention to the road
and make sure that all your concentra-
tion is on driving.
•Follow applicable traffic legislation and
drive with good judgment.
•Due to weather conditions or time of
year affecting the road conditions,
some recommendations may be less
reliable.
Settings
The system is supplied with default settings,
but starts with the settings last used.

Owner's manual
A good way to get to know Sensus Navigation
is to read this owner's manual, ideally before
the first time the system is used. It provides
the opportunity to become familiar with the
functions, get advice on how the system can
best be operated in different situations and
how all of its refinements can be used to best
effect.
Heading level 1
Heading level 2
The content under this heading is a part of
Heading level 1.
General information about the owner's
manual
There is a quick guide for the user who wants
to get started right away, see (p. 9).
For a more in-depth description of operation
and options, as well as the selection of set-
tings to the destination, the recommendation
is to read the manual in combination with
practical use.
Menu options/Search paths
All options that can be selected on the screen
are marked in this manual with slightly larger
and grey-shaded text, e.g. Set destination.
Search paths in the menu tree are stated as
e.g.:
Set destination Address City:

English text
The images in the owner's manual are com-
mon to all markets and languages, so where
they contain text it is mainly in English.
In order to facilitate the user's understanding
of the images and their menu options with
search paths linked to the manual's text, the
English word for the image is given in brack-
ets immediately after the intended text/phrase
in the language of the manual:
Set destination Address
(Set destination > Address)1
Special text
WARNING
Warning texts appear if there is a risk of
injury.
IMPORTANT
"Important" texts appear if there is a risk of
damage.
NOTE
NOTE texts give advice or tips that facili-
tate the use of e.g. features and functions.
Footnote
There is information in the owner's manual
that is added as a footnote at the bottom of
the page or in direct association with a table.
This information is a supplement to the text to
which it refers via the footnote number/letter.
Options
All types of options/accessories are marked
with an asterisk (*).
In addition to standard equipment, this man-
ual also describes options (factory fitted
equipment) and certain accessories (retrofit-
ted extra equipment).
The equipment described in the owner's
manual is not available in all cars - they have
different equipment depending on adapta-
tions for the needs of different markets and
national or local laws and regulations.
In the event of uncertainty over what is stand-
ard or an option/accessory - contact a Volvo
dealer.
Changes in the owner's manual
The specifications, design features and illus-
trations in this manual are not binding.
We reserve the right to make modifications
without prior notice.

pad on the steering wheel. For more informa-
tion, see (p. 21).
Main unit
The main unit is fitted in and behind the cen-
tre console and includes the following func-
tions:
•Calculating the position of the car
(p. 30)
•Calculating the route to the specified des-
tination (p. 41)
•Handling traffic information (p. 73)
•Voice guidance (p. 32)
Receiver for GPS and traffic information
(TMC1) is 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
Navigation system registers and calculates
the route outline even if the GPS signal is
temporarily lost, e.g. when driving through a
tunnel.
Traffic information
TMC1 is a standardised 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 system's coverage area is under con-
stant construction and updating may
sometimes be necessary.
Screen
The screen displays maps and provides
detailed information on route type, distance,
menus, etc.
Screen care
Clean the screen with a soft, lint-free rag,
lightly moistened with a mild window cleaning
agent.
IMPORTANT
Do not place any objects in front of the
GPS navigator's display screen - the sur-
face could then be scratched. Mobile
phones can also interfere with the display
screen's function.
Keypad, centre console
As an alternative to the steering wheel key-
pad, the centre console's numerical keypad
can be used in combination with buttons OK/
MENU, TUNE and EXIT to scroll between dif-
ferent menu options, confirm options or go
back in menus. For more information, see
(p. 18).
Volume control and IR receiver
Use the audio system volume control during
an ongoing voice message to adjust the vol-
ume, see (p. 32). The volume can also be
changed in the menu system.
Point the remote control towards the centre
console during use - its IR receiver is located
there.
Keypad, steering wheel
A keypad is located on the right-hand side of
the steering wheel. Use it to scroll between
different menu options, to confirm selections
or to move back in menus. For more informa-
tion, see (p. 18).
Speakers
Navigation system audio uses the front loud-
speakers.
