gers. Grease and oils from your fingers
vaporize in the heat and will leave a deposit
on the reflector, which will damage it.

Ÿ headlight bulbs
contain trace amounts of mercury. These
bulbs should always be disposed of by a
trained and qualified Volvo service techni-
cian.

most common versions of formats such as
mp3, wma, and wav. However, there may be
versions of these formats that the system
does not support.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.MP3 playerMany mp3 players have a file indexing system
that is not supported by the vehicle's audio
system. In order to use an mp3 player, the sys-
tem must be set to USB Removable device/

charged through the connecting cord. How-
ever, if the iPod's battery is completely
drained, it should be recharged before the iPod

NOTE
When an iPOD is used as a sound source,
the vehicle's audio system has a menu
structure similar to the one in the iPOD. See
the iPOD's manual for detailed information.For further information, refer to the accessory
manual USB/iPod Music Interface.Sound settingsOptimal sound reproductionThe audio system is calibrated for optimal
sound reproduction through the use of digital

tics, the seating position of the listener, etc., for
each combination of vehicle and audio system.

into account the setting of the volume control,
radio reception, and the vehicle's speed. The
