Ventilated front seats*The ventilation system consists of fans in the
seats and backrests that draw air through the
seat upholstery. The cooling effect increases
as the air in the passenger compartment
becomes cooler.
The ventilation is controlled by the ECC sys-
tem, which takes into account the seat tem-
perature, sunlight in the passenger compart-
ment, and the ambient temperature.

Audio volume and automatic volume
control
The infotainment system compensates for dis-

by increasing the volume according to the
speed of the vehicle. The level of sound com-
pensation can be set at low, medium, high or
off. Select the level under Audio settings
Volume compensation.
External audio source volumeIf an external device such as an MP3 player or
an iPod Ÿ is connected to the AUX socket, the
device's volume may be different than the vol-
ume of the internal sound sources such as the
disc player or the radio. If the external sound
source's volume is too high, the quality of the
sound may be impaired. To help prevent this,adjust the input volume of the external audio
source:
NOTE
Sound quality may be affected if the MP3
player is being charged while the system is
in AUX mode. To help prevent this, avoid
charging the MP3 player in a 12-volt socket
while it is being played.

Optimal sound reproductionThe infotainment system is pre-calibrated for
optimal sound reproduction using digital signal
processing.

as the speakers, amplifier, cabin acoustics, the
listeners' seating positions, etc., for each com-
bination of vehicle/infotainment system.

Connecting external devices
Sockets for auxiliary devices in the storage com-
partment between the front seats
An auxiliary device, such as an iPodŸ or MP3
player can be connected to the infotainment
system via one of the sockets in the center
console storage compartment. A device con-
nected to the USB socket can be operated
using the vehicle's infotainment system con-
trols.
There is a notch at the right rear of the center
console for routing wires to external devices.
This notch helps prevent the wires from being
pinched when the cover is closed.
An iPod
Ÿ or an MP3 player with rechargeable
batteries will also be charged if the device isconnected to the USB socket (if the vehicle's
ignition is on or if the engine is running).
To connect a device:
1.
Press MEDIA and turn TUNE to select the
desired source (
iPod, USB or AUX). Press
OK/MENU.
> For example, if a USB device has been
selected, the text
Connect USB will be
displayed.
2. Connect the device to one of the sockets
in the center console storage compartment
(see the illustration).
The text
Reading USB will be displayed while
the system reads the device's folders. This may
take a short time, depending on the folder
structure and the number of files.
When this information has been loaded, track
information will be displayed and a track can
be selected.
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.
Media menu selections can be made from the
center console or the steering wheel keypad,
see page 216 for more information.
