NOTE
For the best sound reproduction, we rec- ommend headphones with impedancebetween 16 – 32 ohm. The sensitivity ofthese should be equal to or greater than102 dB. The headphone connections areintended for 3.5 mm contacts and arelocated under the lower edge of thesocket.
All headphones are automatically turned off when the ignition is switched off. They mustbe manually restarted when the ignition isswitched 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 tothe same source that is being sentthrough the speakers, the headphonecontrols cannot be used to change trackor station. This is to prevent the driverfrom being distracted by an unexpectedchange in music.
• If the driver selects the same soundsource as someone listening to thissource through headphones, the drivertakes control of the sound source.
• Only one disc in the optional CD changer,and one track on the CD can be played ata time.
• Headphone users can choose fromamong the preset radio stations (AM,FM1, FM2) previously set by the driver.
• If FM is played in the speakers, AM is notavailable and vice versa.

If theproblem persists, contact a trainedand authorized Volvo service techni-cian.
USB flash driveTo simplify the use of a USB flash drive, it is advisable to only store music files on thedrive. It will take considerably longer for thesystem to index the files on the drive if it con-tains anything other than compatible musicfiles.
NOTE
• The system supports removable media that uses the USB 2.0 standard andthe FAT32 file system. It can index upto 1,000 folders and a maximum of254 sub-folders/files for each folder.However, the highest folder level cansupport up to 1,000 sub-folders/files.
• When using a longer type of USBdevice, connecting it with a USBadapter cable will help reducemechanical wear on the USB socketand on the device.
