Do you have Volvo Sensus 3.0 

To determine which version of Volvo Sensus you have, go to the MY CAR menu. If you see trip statistics on the menu, you have Sensus 3.0. If you do not see trip statistics as an option, you have Sensus 2.0.

WHAT'S NEW? 

If you see trip statistics on the MY CAR menu, we've updated your Volvo Sensus software - and you may notice some changes that make the system easier for you to use! Here's a quick summary for you ....

Access more functions from the steering wheel

It's now easier to keep both hands on the steering wheel as you go through all of the Sensus menus:

  • Press and hold the EXIT button to see a menu for the function that you're currently using.
    • To use that menu, click the thumb scroll wheel and scroll to your selection.
    • To access the main menu along the left, just start scrolling once you've pressed the EXIT button.
  • You can now choose phone numbers by using the thumb scroll wheel - and you can still answer calls with a quick click of that wheel.

Source button function

When you press any of the source buttons (RADIO, TEL, MEDIA), you now go to the current screen for that function. For example, pressing RADIO brings you to a screen that shows the current radio station. Press the source button again to open the menu for that category and use the thumb scroll wheel or OK/MENU knob to make your selections.

Preset scrolling for Satellite Radio stations

You can now scroll through the presets for AM, FM, and satellite Radio stations using the arrow keys on the center control panel and the steering wheel.

Automatic phone syncing

Once phones are paired with Sensus, the system looks for the last phone that was connected. If it does not detect that phone, it keeps looking for additional paired phones. You won't need to manually change phones as long as the phone is already paired with the vehicle. Please note that it may take up to 30 seconds for the system to detect the phone, depending on the type of phone you have - you don't need to manually connect the phone each time.

Trip statistics

You'll see a new option on your MY CAR menu: trip statistics. this shows the following information for your current trip (calculated from the time you start the engine):

  • Miles per gallon.
  • Time.
  • Distance driven.

Need additional help?

Call our Customer Care Center at 1 (800)458-1552 and speak with a Volvo Sensus specialist. and, be sure to download the Volvo Sensus essentials app from the iTunes store or the android Marketplace - there's a new version for Volvo Sensus 3.0 (available mid-June 2012).

VOLVO NAVIGATION SYSTEM ENHANCEMENTS

There are also updates for Volvo Sensus vehicles equipped with the optional Volvo Navigation system with Voice Control and Real-time traffic.

Navigation menus

There are now two menus to choose from. access the main menu by holding in the EXIT button and then scrolling to the Navigation icon or by pressing the NAV button on the center control panel twice. You'll see options for:

  • Start Navigation.
  • Set address.
  • Set point of interest.
  • Previous destinations.
  • Traffic events ahead.
  • Cancel guidance.
    G08488554

You'll still find a second Navigation menu by pressing the OK/ MENU button when in the map view. Here, you'll see options for:

  • Repeat voice guidance.
  • Set destination.
  • Route details.
  • Traffic information.
  • Current position.
  • Settings.
  • Pause/Resume guidance.

NAV button function

You can now press the NAV button twice to access the main Navigation menu. the first press opens the map view; the second press brings up the menu.

Canceling navigation

The new main menu allows you to cancel navigation right from the first screen. You can still cancel it using voice commands - simply press the voice control button on the steering wheel, say "navigation," and then say "cancel guidance."

Making adjustments while driving

You can now adjust navigation functions while the vehicle is moving, including setting a new destination!

Set single destination

A new "set single destination" option deletes previous destinations in the itinerary and starts guidance immediately. You can also set a new stop along the route by choosing to "Add waypoint."
