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.

not in use to help avoid battery drain.

Pressing ENTER in this mode activates the
Map scroll menu, see page 34.

Settings

ON

The system is provided with default settings,
but it will start with the settings that were most
recently used.

The ignition must be in position I or II in order
to operate the system (refer to the vehicle’s
owner’s manual).

If a setting is changed and you wish to return
to the default setting, only the currently
selected function will be affected.

The system starts up by displaying text on the
screen that must be confirmed by pressing
ENTER after you have selected to use either
Easy mode or Advanced mode.

• Press ENTER or BACK.
The screen will slide up from the dashboard
automatically. It may take several seconds for
the system to determine the vehicle’s location
and direction.

Before you start
Easy/Advanced modes
When the navigation system is started, the
desired user mode can be selected.

• Easy
Only the primary menus are available in this
mode, and can be used to simply get directions
from point A to B.

• Advanced
This mode makes all settings and functions
available.

Switching between modes
Switching between modes can be done in
Settings.

NOTE
Settings made in Easy mode are not used if
the system is switched to Advanced mode,
and vice versa. Settings are stored in the
mode in which they were made.

Demo (simulated guidance)
The navigation system contains a function that
demonstrates guidance to a destination. However, please be aware that the demo can only
be run when the vehicle is at a standstill.
This function is only available when VNS is in
Advanced mode, see Demo on page 63.

01 Getting to know the navigation system
Navigation system, updating and care
Contents of the main unit
All map information is stored on the main unit’s
hard drive. There is no DVD in the unit when it
is delivered. The DVDs are used for any
updates to system or map information, see the
instructions of the DVD’s cover.
New DVDs are issued on a regular basis with
updated and new information. The latest DVDs
can be purchased from a Volvo retailer.
Volvo cannot be responsible for the accuracy
or completeness of data, maps, or routing
guidance presented by your navigation system.

NOTE
The main unit’s DVD player is intended for
Volvo DVDs only.

Updating with a DVD
NOTE
Please note that an update may take up to
90 minutes. Be sure the vehicle’s battery is
adequately charged before beginning.

If a DVD contains new system software in addition to map information, the system will begin
by running the software installation.

The vehicle can be driven while the navigation
system is being updated, but VNS cannot be
used while the update is in progress.
To perform an update:
1. Switch on the navigation system.
2. Remove a DVD if one is already inserted in
the system’s DVD player.
3. Insert the DVD containing the updated
information. If there is more than one disc,
insert them in the numbered order.
4. The system will now be automatically
updated. Information will be displayed to
show update progress.
5. After the update, the DVD containing the
most recent update must remain in the
system’s DVD player. If more than one disc
has been used, insert disc 1. If the disc is
removed from the player, the navigation
system will stop functioning.

01

DVD care

• When changing discs, make sure that they
are kept free of oil, grease and other impurities.

• The discs must not be exposed to moisture.

• The discs must be kept in their packaging
when not in use. Avoid storing discs in
excessive heat, direct sunlight or in a dusty
environment.

Screen care
Clean the display screen with a soft, non-static
cloth or a moist paper towel and a mild window
cleaning agent.
Never use petroleum based solvents or abrasive substances when cleaning the screen.

If the system is switched off while an update is
in progress, the update will be resumed the
next time the system is switched on.
In certain cases, updating map information will
add new system functions.
The VNS start screen will be displayed when
updating is completed.

Unverified roads and Compass
Unverified roads

Compass

A small number of roads in the system may be
unverified. This means that information on
signs, one-way streets, left turns, etc., may not
be accurate. An itinerary containing unverified
roads will be displayed with gray arrows
instead of the usual yellow ones.
The system provides information when an
unverified road is added to an itinerary and
when the vehicle begins to travel on one of
these roads.

WARNING
Always use good judgment when following
navigation system guidance, and do not follow guidance that seems contrary to your
own best judgment.
Never use the navigation system or any
other feature in your vehicle in a way that
distracts you from the task of driving safely.
Distraction can lead to a serious accident.
Set and make changes in your navigation
system only with the vehicle parked.
Be aware of the current traffic situation.
Always comply with relevant traffic regulations.

28

The compass can be displayed in two ways:
– With north always at the top
of the screen.
– With the vehicle's current
direction at the top of the
screen.
The red point of the compass needle points
north on the map.
The gray destination arrow in the outer ring of
the compass points toward the destination.
Go to Map Options under Settings to change
the way in which the compass is displayed or
to hide it.

04 Traffic information
Introduction
Reception and display
Broadcast traffic information is always
received, regardless of whether the navigation
system is in Easy or Advanced mode.
Settings for the way in which traffic information
is presented can only be made in Advanced
mode, see page 44.

04

The way in which traffic information is presented is also affected by the way in which it is
broadcast.

When at least one traffic message has been
received for the programmed route, this will be
indicated by a symbol in the upper left corner
on the map. Use the navigation control to scroll
to the message in order to see the location and
type of problem indicated.
Disruptions in traffic are marked by symbols,
lines, and boxes. These symbols are displayed
in red or yellow.
Red – important information.
Yellow – General information.

NOTE
Traffic information is currently not available
in all areas.
The area covered by the system is being
steadily expanded.

06 Questions & answers
Frequently asked questions
The vehicle’s position on the map is
incorrect
The Global Positioning System (GPS) indicates
the car’s position with an accuracy of about
65 feet (20 meter). 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.

06

When calculating a route, 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, 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,
freeways, and ferries, they will be avoided as

78

much as possible, but will be used if no other
reasonable alternative is available.

drive for several miles, including a number of
turns, for the system to make this adjustment.

After being transported, the car’s
position on the map is incorrect.

The map image does not correspond
with actual conditions.

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.

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. Maps information is periodically developed and updated. Additional information is available from your Volvo retailer.

The car’s position on the map is incorrect
after the car 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 map scale sometimes changes

It may be necessary to drive ten to fifteen miles,
and make a number of turns before for the system will function optimally.

Certain menu options are not available

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

There is no detailed map information for certain

you drive off. Switch off the VNS system and
the ignition. 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?

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.

Select the final destination directly on the map
using the pointer. The system will automatically
guide you to the final destination even if you
drive past intermediate destinations.

Why do I not receive all traffic
messages?
The function is not available, not fully developed, or is not available on all markets. Also,
check that the correct settings have been
made in Route options.
