Playing media via the USB port

External audio sources, such as an iPod

MP3 player, can be connected to the audio
system via the vehicle's USB port.

Devices with rechargeable batteries can be
charged when they are connected via the USB
port and the ignition is in mode

or the

engine is running.

The content on the external source can be
read faster if it only contains data of a compat-
ible format. Video files can also be played via
the USB port.

Some MP3 players have their own file system
that the vehicle has support for.

Apple

CarPlay

With CarPlay

, you can listen to music, make

phone calls, get driving instructions, send/
receive messages and use Siri, all while
remaining focused on driving.

CarPlay works with select
iOS devices. If the car does
not already support CarPlay,
this can be retrofitted. Con-
tact a Volvo retailer to install
CarPlay.

Information about supported apps and com-
patible iOS devices are available on the Apple
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 vehicle is broken.
Please note that Volvo is not responsible for
the content of CarPlay.

When using map navigation via CarPlay, guid-
ance will only be shown on the center display
and not in the instrument panel or head-up
display.

When navigation is started through Apple
CarPlay, any current route guidance from the
vehicle's own systems will be discontinued.

CarPlay apps can be controlled from the cen-
ter display, an iOS device or with the right-
side steering wheel keypad (for certain func-
tions). The apps can also be voice-controlled

button on

the steering wheel to start voice control with
Siri. Press briefly to activate the vehicle's own
voice control system. If Siri cuts off too soon,
press and hold the

button on the steer-

ing wheel..

the following: Apple CarPlay is a service

be activated in your iOS device. The device
must also have an Internet connection via Wi-
Fi or a mobile network for all functions to
work.

Connecting an iOS device and starting

CarPlay can only be used if Bluetooth is
disabled. A cell phone or media player con-
nected to the vehicle via Bluetooth will
therefore not be available when CarPlay is
active. An alternative source must be used

vehicle's apps. Use Wi-Fi or the vehicle's
integrated modem.

To start CarPlay from an iOS device that has
not previously been connected:

1. Connect an iOS device that supports

CarPlay to the USB port. If there are two
USB ports, use the one with the white
frame.

2. Read the terms and conditions and then

tap

to connect.

ble apps will be displayed.

Tips for using Apple

CarPlay

Here are some useful tips for when you use
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,
unplug the iOS device from the USB port
and then plug it in again. 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 minimizing and
expanding the tile for CarPlay.

•

Using apps that are not compatible with
CarPlay may sometimes cause the con-
nection between the iOS device and the
vehicle to be broken. Information about
supported apps and compatible devices
can be found on Apple's website. You can
also search for CarPlay in the App Store to
find information about apps that are com-
patible with CarPlay in your market.

•

You can use Siri to write or dictate mes-
sages or have them read aloud. Messages
are read aloud and dictated in the lan-
guage selected in the Siri settings. When

you write/dictate messages, no text will
be shown in the vehicle's center display,
but the text will be shown in your iOS
device. When using Siri, note that it is the
phone's microphones that are used and
the quality therefore depends on the
phone's location.

•

If the device is connected to the vehicle
through Bluetooth, the connection will be
broken when CarPlay is used. Resume
Internet connection in the vehicle by teth-
ering using the device's Wi-Fi hotspot.

•

Some of CarPlay's functions (such as
voice calls and messages) interrupt the
use of the vehicle's own functions and
CarPlay will instead be automatically dis-
played. If you do not wish this to happen,
deselect display of the corresponding
function in CarPlay under the phone's
notification settings.
