player or a USB flash drive can be connected
to the audio system via the connectors in the
center console storage compartment. A stand-
ard cable from an iPodŸ or MP3 player can be
routed under the cover to the connector(s) in
the storage compartment.If the device is being charged through a 12-volt
socket while it is connected to the AUX or port,
sound quality may be impaired.
A sound source must be chosen, depending on
the device that has been connected:
1.
Use MODE to select
iPod or USB. The textConnect device will be displayed.
2. Connect the device to the connector in the
center console storage compartment (see
the illustration).
The text
LOADING will be displayed while the
system loads the files (folder structure) on the
device. This may take a short time.
When information about the files (the folder
structure) on the device has been loaded, the
resulting list includes information on the artist,
genre and song title.
To navigate in the folder structure, press
ENTER and scroll up and down the folders
using the arrow buttons (on the audio system
control panel or on the steering wheel keypad).
Press the right arrow button to select a folder.

arrow keys on the steering wheel keypad
can also be used in the same way.
NOTE
•The system supports a number of
iPodŸ models produced in 2005 or later.
•In order to help avoid damage to the
USB socket, it will be switched off if
there is a short circuit or if the con-
nected device uses too much current
(which can happen if the device does
not comply with the USB standard). The
USB socket will reactivate the next time
the ignition is switched on if the problem
no longer exists. If the problem persists,
contact a trained and authorized Volvo
service technician.
USB flash driveTo simplify the use of a USB flash drive, it is
advisable to only store music files on the drive.

There is also dynamic calibration that takes
into account the setting of the volume control,
radio reception, and the vehicle's speed. The

as
BASS, TREBLE, and Equalizer front…/Equalizer rear… are only intended to enable
the user to adapt sound reproduction to his/her
personal preferences.
