Press on the right-hand keypad on the steering wheel and say one of the following commands:
- “Navigation” – Initiates a navigation dialogue and shows examples of commands.
- “Take me home” – Guidance is given to the Home position.
- “Go to [City]” – Specifies a city as a destination. Example “Drive to London”.
- “Go to [Address]” – Specifies an address as a destination. An address must contain the city and street. Example “Drive to 5 King’s Road, London”.
- “Add intersection” – Starts a dialogue where two streets must be specified. The intersection point of the specified streets then becomes the destination.
- “Go to [Post code]” – Specifies a postcode as a destination. Example “Drive to 1 2 3 4 5”.
- “Go to [contact]” – Specifies an address from the phone book as a destination. Example “Drive to Robyn Smith”.
- “Search [POI category]” – Searches for adjacent points of interest (POI) within a certain category (e.g. restaurants). To have the list sorted along the route – say “Along the route” when the results list is shown.
- “Search [POI category] in [City]” – Searches for points of interest (POI) within a certain category and city. The list of results is sorted according to the city’s central point. Example “Search for a restaurant in London”.
- “Search [POI name]“. Example “Search Kielder Forest”.
- “Change country/Change state,” – Changes the search area for navigation.
- “Show favorites” – Shows saved positions in the driver display.
- “Clear itinerary” – Erases all the stored intermediate destinations and final destinations in an itinerary.
- “Repeat voice guidance” – Repeats the last spoken guidance.
- “Turn off voice guidance” – Switches off voice guidance.
- “Turn on voice guidance” – Starts the switched-off voice guidance.
The following commands can generally be used, regardless of the situation:
- “Repeat” – repeats the last voice instruction in the ongoing dialogue.
- “Help” – starts a help dialogue. The system replies with the commands available in the current situation, a prompt, or an example.
- It is possible to stop voice control both when the system is silent and when it is speaking.
- “Cancel” – stops the dialogue when the system is silent.
- Give a long press on until two beep tones are heard – the dialogue stops, even if the system is speaking.
Addresses
When an address is entered, the search area is defined as the search area preset in the navigation system. It is possible to switch to a different search area. If the new search area uses a different language than the selected system language, the system will automatically switch to a different recognition engine. Therefore, state the address in the language used in the new search area.
Note
Note that addresses can only be searched for the country or state that the navigation system is preset for. To search for addresses in another country or state you first need to change the search area.
Note
Not all system languages support voice recognition. The ones that do are highlighted with the symbol in the list of available system languages. Read more about where the information can be found in the section on settings for voice recognition.
- Sensus Navigation is a satellite-based traffic information and navigation system.
- The system provides guidance to a destination and provides information along the route, such as alternative routes in the event of accidents and roadworks.
- You can arrange an itinerary, search for points of interest (POI) along the route, save your own locations, etc.
- The car’s precise position is shown, and you will be guided to your destination if you take any wrong turns.
- Apart from the practical advantages, Sensus Navigation can also contribute to a better environment by improving traffic flow and by selecting the best route based on the driver’s settings.
Navigation system tile- Home button
Show the map image in the center display by tapping on the top tile (1) on the home view.
If the center display does not show the navigation system tile – press briefly once on the home button (2) and then tap on the navigation system (1) tile.
Then a map of the current area is shown with the car symbolized by a blue triangle.
Press on this symbol to show the map image across the entire center display.
Warning
Observe the following.
- Direct all your attention to the road and make sure that all your concentration is on driving.
- Follow applicable traffic legislation and drive with good judgment.
- Due to weather conditions or the time of year affecting the road conditions, some recommendations may be less reliable.
The navigation system cannot be switched off but always works in the background – it is only switched off when the driver locks and leaves the car.
Note
The navigation system is also available when the engine is switched off. When the battery level gets too low the system switches off.
Here you can find an introduction to how to start to use voice control in order to control the navigation system in the car.
Press the voice control button on the steering wheel
You can now give commands, e.g. “Navigation” that start a navigation dialogue and show examples of commands.
Note
Not all system languages support voice recognition. The ones that do are highlighted with the symbol in the list of available system languages. Read more about where the information can be found in the section on settings for voice recognition.
Use voice control to get directions to an address
- To get directions to a specific address, use the spoken command Go to followed by the address.
- The order in which the address is given is important.
- To get directions to an address via voice control, the address must be given in the following order: (1) street address; (2) street number; (3) city; according to the following example:
- Give the Go to command.
- Now you can give the address you want directions to.
- Give the street address, e.g. “King Street”
- Give the street number, e.g. “Five”
- Give the city, e.g. “Gothenburg”
- In this case, the combined command will then be: “Go to King Street Five, Gothenburg”.
- Provided the address is found in the system, you will now get directions to the address via your navigation system.
Use voice control to get directions to an address in another country or another county
Your navigation system installs sets of maps for the country or county where the car recognizes its location. This means that in order to get correct directions across country or county borders, you need to first tell the system the country or county in which your desired destination address is located. You do this by using the Change country or Change state command. (The Change state command is primarily used in the USA. The Change country command is used in the example below.)
- Give the Change country command.
- Now you can give the country for the address to which you want directions, e.g. “Norway”.
- Now give the address to which you want directions by following the same procedure as in “Use voice control to get directions to an address”.
In this scenario, the combined command will be divided into 2 subcommands:
- “Change country, Norway”
- “Go to Karl Johans gate twenty-two, Oslo”
Provided the address is found in the system, you will now get directions to Karl Johans gate 22, Oslo, Norway via your navigation system
Note
After changing country, try to pronounce the address you want directions to in the language of the destination country. This is necessary since the system’s recognition changes automatically to the language of the selected country.
Use voice control to get directions to an address given as the Home position
- If you have given an address in your navigation system as a Home position, you can use a spoken command to get directions to the position.
- Give the Take me home command.
- If the navigation system has a home position saved, you will now get directions to the position.
Use voice control to get directions to a place, shop, or other specific business without giving an exact address
You can use your navigation system to get directions to special places or a specific type of business, so-called points of interest (POI). Examples of points of interest are, for example, restaurants, hotels, petrol stations, museums or sights, and landmarks.
You use the Search command to search for a point of interest. You can search for both a specific point of interest as well as point of interest categories.
Note
It is important which command you choose to use for obtaining directions to different alternatives. Please note that when you want directions to a point of interest, use the Search command. This is different from when you want directions to specific addresses. Then the Go to command must be used instead.
Search for a specific place or business
- [POI name] here refers to a specific place or business, a so-called point of interest, e.g. a hotel, a restaurant, a municipal park, etc.
- Give the Search command.
- Now you can specify a specific point of interest you want directions to.
- State [POI name], e.g. “Castle Forest”
- In this case, the combined command will then be: “Search Castle Forest”.
- Provided the place is found in the system, you will now get directions to the place via your navigation system.
Search for a point of interest category e.g. shops, hotels, restaurants, museums, or other sights and landmarks or businesses
- [POI category] here refers to specific types of places or businesses, so-called points of interest, e.g. hotels, restaurants, museums, etc.
- Give the Search command.
- Now you can specify the type of point of interest you want to find and get directions to.
- State [POI category], e.g. “restaurant”
- In this case, the combined command will then be: “Search restaurant”.
- The navigation system will now search for restaurants located near and around the car, which results in a list on your driver display.
- The list that appears consists of suggestions the system has produced based on your command.
- Categories and close results are at the top, and the lower the relevance a suggestion is deemed to have, the lower down the list it appears.
- Since you are looking for a category in this example, it may be a good idea to choose the category option closest to your search.
- Select the category most appropriate for your search target in the list, in this case, “restaurant(s)”, by speaking the number of the row in which the option appears in the driver display.
- Now you can see your search results and select an option that suits you.
Use voice control to stop directions
- If you want to stop directions and all of the intermediate destinations and the final destination, this can be done with a spoken command.
- Give the Clear itinerary command.
- The navigation system stops the directions and deletes all of the intermediate destinations and the final destination along the travel itinerary.
How to give the postcode and house number
The number commands are stated differently depending on the function to be controlled:
- Postcodes must be spoken individually, number by number, e.g. zero three one two two four four three (03122443).
- House numbers can be spoken individually or in groups, e.g. two or twenty-two (22). For some languages, it is also possible to state them with hundreds, e.g. 19 hundred 22 (1922). For English and Dutch, several groups can be said in sequence, e.g. twenty-two (22 22). For English, double or triple can be used, e.g. double zero (00). Numbers can be given within the range of 0-2300.
Set destination using the phone book’s contact list
If you want to set the address for a contact in the phone’s phone book as the destination then you can do this with the “Go to [contact]” command. However, for the address to be found in the database requires that the address is entered with the correct spelling and without abbreviations. To spell-check addresses in the HEREs database, go to wego.here.com
The system does not always calculate the fastest/shortest route
When calculating a route, several factors are taken into account to determine the theoretically best solution. Factors include route distance, road width, road classification, traffic intensity, and speed limits. However, an experienced driver with local knowledge can quite possibly select a better route.
The system may for example use toll roads or ferries while the driver has chosen to avoid them
For technical reasons, the system can only use larger roads when calculating a route extending over a long distance. If you selected to avoid toll roads and motorways, then they are avoided to the greatest possible extent and are only used if there is no other reasonable alternative available.
The position of the car on the map is wrong
The navigation system shows the position of the car with an accuracy of about 20 meters (65 ft). There is a greater risk of error when driving on roads lying parallel to another road, on winding roads, on roads with several levels, and after driving a long distance without making any distinctive turns. High mountains, buildings, tunnels, viaducts, over/underpasses, etc. also have a negative effect on the reception of satellite signals, which means that accuracy in calculating the position of the car may decrease.
Calibrating
Calibration takes place when you lock the car and allow it to remain locked for 15-30 seconds. If the problem with incorrect position persists following calibration, contact a workshop to check/calibrate the antenna unit.
The position of the car on the map is incorrect after transportation
The car symbol on the screen behaves illogically after the tires have been changed
In addition to the satellite receiver, the car’s speed sensor and a gyroscope assist in calculating the current position, speed, and direction of travel of the car. After fitting the spare wheel or changing between summer and winter tires the system needs to “learn” the size of the new wheels. In order that the system shall function optimally it is therefore recommended that the car is driven for a while on roads with good satellite reception (good visibility).
The map image does not correspond with the real situation
Factors such as the constant expansion and rebuilding of the road network, new traffic regulations constantly being introduced, etc. mean that the map database is not always, in every situation, complete. Because of this the map data is being constantly developed and updated – check now and again to see if there are any updates.
The car symbol on the screen jumps forwards or spins
The system may need a few seconds to sense the position and movement of the car before driving off.
Switch off both the system and the engine. Start again, but remain stationary for a while before starting to drive.
The map information is not up to date
See the answer under the next heading.
Is the latest map information installed?
Map data are updated and improved continuously. In connection with map updates via computer and USB, the current map version in the car can be shown. Check the map version in the car and compare it with the available map version in the support information on volvocars.com.
Current traffic information is not shown
Activate Real-Time Traffic Information (RTTI) in order to continuously retrieve information on traffic congestion, road closures, and other events that may affect journey time. The car must be connected to the Internet where there is coverage in order to continuously retrieve traffic information.
