TP - Traffic information (12)
A short press on the TP button (12) provides Traffic information from RDS stations.
TP is displayed when the function is switched on with the TP button.
When the unit is in CD mode, the radio automatically seeks an FM station in the background, with a strong signal that
is broadcasting traffic information.
If a CD is playing when the radio receives a traffic bulletin, it is interrupted and the bulletin is broadcast at the volume
selected* for traffic information.
When the bulletin is finished the unit immediately returns to the previously set volume and continues playing the CD.
Traffic information can only be heard when the symbol TP is displayed.
The symbol is displayed if the currently tuned station can transmit traffic information.
If you do not wish to listen to an ongoing traffic bulletin, press the TP button. The TP function will remain engaged
and the radio waits for the next traffic bulletin.
If you would like to disable the TP function:
- Press the TP button when no traffic bulletin is being broadcast
- Press the TP button twice during a traffic bulletin (once to cancel the bulletin and the second time to disable the TP
function)
- see section Menu structure.
TP button (12)
When TP button is pressed while no TP, News or Alarm is being received, the TP function is activated.

Compact disc care
Before using a new disc for the first time, remove any burrs in the center/outer edge by running the stem of a pen or
similar object around the hole/edge of the disc.
Use high quality discs only.
Keep the discs clean. Wipe them with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth, working from the center outwards. If necessary,
dampen the cloth with a neutral soap solution. Dry thoroughly before using.
Never use cleaning spray or anti-static liquid. Use only cleaners specifically made for CD's.
Use discs of the correct size only
NOTE: Never use 3.5" discs.
Do not put tape or labels on the disc itself.
Volvo does not recommend the use of plastic outer rings on the disc.
Condensation may occur on discs/optical components of the changer in cold winter weather. The disc can be dried
with a clean, lint-free cloth. Optical components in the CD changer may, however, take up to one hour to dry off.
Never attempt to play a disc which is damaged in any way.
When not in use, the discs should be stored in their covers. Avoid storing discs in excessive heat, direct sunlight or
dusty locations.
