The door panels behind the second row of
seats can be equipped with headphone con-
nectors for passengers in the second and third
row of seats. Several people can listen to dif-
ferent sound sources, such as CDs or the radio
at the same time without disturbing each other.
Two sets of headphones can be plugged into
each connector.1. With the audio system switched on, use
the SEL button to select a sound source.
2. Press the arrow keys briefly to change CD
tracks or switch between preset stations.
3. Hold down the arrow keys to fast forward/
reverse, or search for the previous/next
strong radio station.
4.
Hold down the SEL button to turn off the
sound.
NOTE
For the best sound reproduction, we rec-
ommend headphones with impedance
between 16 – 32 ohm. The sensitivity of
these should be equal to or greater than
102 dB. The headphone connections are
intended for 3.5 mm contacts and are
located under the lower edge of the socket.
All headphones are automatically turned off
when the ignition is switched off. They must be
manually restarted when the ignition is
switched on again.
Headphones – limitations
•The headphones will only work when the
ignition key is in position I or higher.
•If a set of headphones is connected to the
same source that is being sent through the
speakers, the headphone controls cannot
be used to change track or station. This isto prevent the driver from being distracted
by an unexpected change in music.
•If the driver selects the same sound source
as someone listening to this source
through headphones, the driver takes con-
trol of the sound source.
•Only one disc in the optional CD changer,
and one track on the CD can be played at
a time.
•Headphone users can choose from among
the preset radio stations (AM, FM1, FM2)
previously set by the driver.
•If FM is played in the speakers, AM is not
available and vice versa.

The text
Loading will be displayed while
the system loads the files (folder struc-
ture) on the device. This may take a
short time.
When the information has been loaded, infor-
mation about the tracks on the device will be
displayed.
The
/ buttons can be used to fast
forward/reverse or change tracks:
•Press briefly to change tracks.
•Press slightly longer to fast forward/
reverse.
The 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.
It will take considerably longer for the system
to index the files on the drive if it contains any-
thing other than compatible music files.
NOTE
•The system supports removable media
that uses the USB 2.0 standard and the
FAT32 file system. It can index up to
1,000 folders and a maximum of 254
sub-folders/files for each folder. How-
ever, the highest folder level can sup-
port up to 1,000 sub-folders/files.
•When using a longer type of USB
device, connecting it with a USB
adapter cable will help reduce mechan-
ical wear on the USB socket and on the
device.
iPodŸ
An iPodŸ is charged and draws current if it is
connected to the USB connector. However, if
the battery is completely discharged, it should
be charged before the iPod
Ÿ is connected to
the USB connector.
BluetoothŸ streaming audio (BT)The vehicle's audio system is equipped with
BluetoothŸ, which makes it possible to play
streaming audio files from a BluetoothŸcon-
nected cell phone. Navigation and control of
the phone can be done through the vehicle's
center console control panel or the steering
wheel keypad. On certain cell phones, it is also

port Audio/Video Remote Control Profile

of these standards are used, certain fea-
tures (e.g., scan or random) may not func-
tion.
