Frequently asked questions

1. Switch off the VNS system and the igni-

tion.

2. 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?

Select the final destination directly on the

map using the cross hairs. The system will

automatically guide you to the final destina-

tion even if you drive past intermediate desti-

nations.

The system’s map information is not
up-to-date

Contact your Volvo retailer for updated map

information.
