Views in the display
General informationThe infotainment system displays information
in four different views. The highest (most gen-
eral) level is called the main view and is com-
mon to all system modes (RADIO, MEDIA,
TEL). Each mode has three different basic
views:
•Normal view: the default view for that par-
ticular mode
•Quick scroll view: the view displayed when
TUNE is turned, which allows you to e.g.,
change tracks on a CD, change radio sta-
tions, etc.
•Menu view: a view for navigating and mak-
ing selections in the mode's menu system.
The views in the different modes vary depend-
ing on the mode selected, the vehicle's equip-
ment, current settings, etc.

1.
Press RADIO. Continue pressing this but-
ton to toggle to the desired waveband
(
AM, FM1, etc.).
2. Release the button and wait several sec-
onds or press OK/MENU.
3. Press the left or right arrow keys on the
center console control panel to search for
the next available station.
List of stations (in wavebands FM1/FM2
only)
The radio automatically compiles a list of the
strongest FM stations whose signals are cur-
rently being received. This enables you to find
stations when driving in areas where radio sta-
tions and their frequencies are unfamiliar.
To access this list:
1.
Select the desired waveband (
FM1 orFM2).
2.
Turn TUNE one step in either direction.
This displays the list of stations in the area.
The currently tuned station will be indi-
cated in the list by magnified text.
3.
Turn TUNE again in either direction to
select a station on the list.
NOTE
•This list will only display the frequencies
of the stations currently being received,
not a complete list of all radio frequen-
cies on the currently selected wave-
band.
•If the signal from the currently tuned
station is weak, this may prevent the
radio from updating the list of stations.
If this occurs, press
while the list
of stations is displayed to switch to
manual tuning mode and select a sta-
tion. If the list of stations is no longer
displayed, turn TUNE in either direction
to display the list again and press
.
The list will disappear from the display after
several seconds.
If the station list is no longer displayed, turn
TUNE in either direction and press
on the
number key pad on the center console to
switch to manual tuning (or to switch back from
manual tuning to the "list of stations" function).
Manual tuningBy default, the list of stations of the strongest
stations in the area will be displayed when you
turn TUNE (see the preceding section, "List of
stations"). While the list of stations is displayed,

displayed as, for example, 93.9 WNYC
(Volvo uses the symbol ">" to indicate
there are sub-channels available) The sub-
FM channels will be displayed as 93.9 – 2
WNYC, 93.9 - 3 WNYC, etc.
•Reception coverage area: Due to current
IBOC transmitter power limitations, the
reception coverage area in digital mode is
somewhat more limited than the station's
analogue coverage area. Please be aware
that as with any radio broadcast technol-
ogy, terrain, time of day, foliage level and
building location can have positive or neg-
ative effects on radio reception.
•Analogue to digital/digital to analogue
blending: Analogue to digital blending will
occur as the signal strength reaches a pre-
set threshold in the receiver. This will be
noticeable in fringe areas (areas with weak
reception) and is normal.
NOTE
There may be a noticeable difference in
sound quality when a change from analogue
to digital or digital to analogue occurs, such
as:
•Volume increase or decrease
•Equalizer settings, i.e., Bass/ Midrange/
Treble cut or boost
•Time alignment (Digital program mate-
rial in extreme cases can be as much as
8 seconds behind the analogue). This
will noticeable as a "stuttering" effect.
The above items are dependant on the
broadcaster's equipment settings and do
not indicate a fault in the vehicle's radio
receiver or antenna systems.
Switching HD on or offThe factory setting for HD radio is off. How-
ever, when driving through areas with weak HD
signals (fringe areas), you may experience that
the radio repeatedly switches between ana-
logue/digital and digital/analogue reception. If
this happens, it may be desirable to switch HD
off. To do so:
1. Be sure the audio system is switched on
and in one of the AM or FM modes.
2.
Press OK/MENU in the center console
control panel.3.
Turn TUNE and move the marker to
HD
Radio.
4.
Press OK/MENU to turn HD off (the X will
disappear from the box on the display
screen).
This will disable the radio's capability to receive
digital broadcasts but it will continue to func-
tion as a conventional (analogue) AM/FM
receiver. Please note that when HD is switched
off, it will not be possible to tune to sub-chan-
nels (see the following section for a more
detailed explanation of sub-channels).
Repeat steps 2-4 above to reactivate HD (an X
will appear in the box on the display screen).
Please note that this will only switch HD on or
off for the selected waveband (AM, FM1, etc.).
