Frequently asked questions

The car symbol on screen jumps
forward or spins.

The system may need a few seconds to

sense the position and movement of the car

before you drive off. Switch off the VNS sys-

tem and the ignition. Switch on the ignition

again and restart VNS, but remain at a stand-

still 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 pointer. The system will auto-

matically guide you to the final destination

even if you drive past intermediate destina-

tions.

Why do I not receive all traffic
messages?

The function is not available, not fully devel-

oped, or is not available on all markets. Also,

check that the correct settings have been

made in

Route options

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

Contact your Volvo retailer for updated map

information.

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.
