Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
System Start-Up
When the ignition is switched on, the lighting in the screen's -button and the system become set to standby mode. When the button is pressed in, the system is activated and an image with the Volvo emblem appears.
The remote control can be used to activate/deactivate the system and to navigate the menu system.
- Switch between audio/video source.
- Image adjustment.
- Audio settings.
- Language selection for on-screen instructions.
An internal memory saves the language selection and the current audio and video settings. These settings are loaded upon start-up with the exception of volume level, which is set to low as standard.
When a CD/DVD is inserted, playback starts automatically if the CD/DVD does not have a menu. DVD playback can be resumed from a standby mode, e. g. if the ignition is switched off during the playback of a film. In this case, playback continues from the last point when the ignition is switched back on, after the system has been reactivated. To insert a disc, the screen must first be folded out.
