RDS radio

RDS (Radio Data System) means that the
radio automatically changes to the strongest
transmitter. RDS provides the ability to
receive e.g. traffic information and to search
for certain programme types.

RDS links FM transmitters into a network. An
FM transmitter in such a network sends infor-
mation that gives an RDS radio the following
functions:

•

Switch automatically to a stronger trans-
mitter if reception in the area is poor.

•

Search for programme category, e.g. pro-
gramme types or traffic information.

•

Receive text information on current radio
programme.

NOTE

Some radio stations do not use RDS or
only selected parts of its functionality.

When broadcasting news or traffic messages,
the radio can switch stations, interrupting the
audio source currently in use. For example, if
the CD player

*

 is in use, it is paused. The radio

returns to the previous audio source and vol-
ume when the set programme type is no
longer broadcast. To go back earlier, press

 on the right-hand steering wheel keypad

or tap 

Cancel

 in the centre display.

CarPlay gives you the option to listen to
music, make phone calls, get directions,
send/receive messages and use Siri, all while
you stay focused on your driving.

CarPlay works with selected
iOS devices. If the car does
not already support CarPlay
there is the option to install it
retroactively. Contact a Volvo
dealer to install CarPlay.

Information about which apps are supported
and which iOS devices are compatible is avail-
able on Apple's website: www.apple.com/ios/
carplay/. Using apps that are not compatible
with CarPlay may sometimes mean that the
connection between the device and the car is
broken. Please note that Volvo is not responsi-
ble for the content in CarPlay.

When using map navigation via CarPlay, there
is no guidance in the driver display or head-up
display, but only in the centre display.

When navigation is started through Apple
CarPlay, ongoing native turn-by-turn route
guidance will be ended.

The CarPlay apps can be controlled via the
centre display, the iOS device or using the
steering wheel's right-hand keypad (applies to
certain functions). The apps can also be voice-
controlled using Siri. A long press on the

Tips for using Apple

Here are some useful tips for using CarPlay

®

.

•

Update your iOS device with the latest
version of the iOS operating system and
ensure that the apps have been updated.

•

In the event of a problem with CarPlay,
disconnect the iOS device from the USB
port and reconnect. Otherwise, try to
close the app on the device that is not
working and then restart the app, or try
closing all apps and restart your device.

•

If the apps do not appear when CarPlay
starts (black screen), try minimising and
expanding the tile for CarPlay.

•

Using apps that are not compatible with
CarPlay may sometimes mean that the
connection between the iOS device and
the car is broken. Information about sup-
ported apps and compatible telephone
devices can be found on the Apple web-
site. You can also search for CarPlay in the
App Store to find information about apps
that are compatible with CarPlay on your
market.

•

Using Siri it is possible to write/dictate
and read out messages. Messages are
read out and dictated in the language
selected in the settings for Siri. When the
message is written/dictated, no text will
be shown in the centre display – instead,

the text will appear on the iOS device.
When Siri is used, note that the tele-
phone's microphones are used and that
the quality is therefore dependent on the
position of the telephone.

•

If the device is connected to the car via
Bluetooth, the connection will be interrup-
ted when CarPlay is used. Resume the
Internet connection in the car by sharing
the Internet via the Wi-Fi hotspot from the
device.

•

Some of the CarPlay functions (such as
voice call and messages) mean that use of
the car's own functions is stopped and
CarPlay is shown automatically instead. If
this behaviour is not wanted, deselect the
display of the equivalent function in
CarPlay under the phone's settings for
notifications.

Android Auto

*

Android Auto gives you the option to listen to
music, make phone calls, get directions and
use car-adapted apps from an Android
device. Android Auto works with selected
Android devices.

Information about which apps are supported
and which Android devices are compatible is
available on the website: www.android.com/
auto/. For third-party apps, see Google Play.
Please note that Volvo is not responsible for
the content in Android Auto.

Android Auto is started from the app view.
After Android Auto has been started once, the
app will be started automatically the next time
the device is connected. Automatic start can
be deactivated under settings.

NOTE

When a device is connected to Android
Auto it is possible to stream via Bluetooth
to another media player. Bluetooth is
active while Android Auto is being used.

When using map navigation via Android Auto
there is no guidance in the driver display or
head-up display, but only in the centre display.

Android Auto can be controlled via the centre
display using the steering wheel's right-hand
keypad or voice control. Holding down the
steering wheel button 

 starts Google

Assistant and a short press deactivates it.

By using Android Auto, you acknowledge
the following: Android Auto is a service

and conditions. Volvo Cars is not
responsible for Android Auto or its
features or applications. When you use
Android Auto, your car transfers certain
information (including its location) to your
