General information
The Volvo Navigation System uses the
WGS84 reference system, which provides the
vehicle's location in terms of longitude and
latitude.
The VNS system can be used even if a desti-
nation has not been specified.
WARNING
•
Always use good judgment when fol-
lowing 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 naviga-
tion system only with the vehicle
parked.
•
Be aware of the current traffic situa-
tion.
•
Always comply with relevant traffic
regulations.

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.
When this has been done, a map showing the
current area will be displayed with the vehicle
shown as a blue triangle.
Settings
The system is delivered with default settings
