Real Time Traffic Information (RTTI)
When the vehicle is connected to the Inter- net, the driver can access enhanced traffic information 14
(RTTI 15
) about traffic conges-
tion, closed roads and other circumstances that could affect travel time.
If the RTTI service is activated, information about traffic events and flow is continuouslyretrieved from an online service. When a vehi-cle requests traffic flow information, anony-mous data about traffic flow in the vehicle'slocation is also provided, which helps enablethe service to function. Anonymous data isonly sent when RTTI is activated. If the serviceis not activated, no data will be provided. The service may need to be reactivated e.g. following certain software updates, after aworkshop visit or when creating a new driverprofile. Current traffic information is shown in the nav- igation system * for highways/freeways, major
roads, secondary roads and in some cases urban routes. The amount of traffic information shown on the map depends on the distance to the vehi-cle and is only shown within approximately120 km (75 miles) from the vehicle's location. Text and symbols on the map are displayed inthe usual way and the traffic flow shows howfast the traffic is moving on a road in compari-son with the road's speed limit. The trafficflow is shown on the map on each side of theroad with a colored line in each direction.
Green - no disturbances.
Orange - slow-moving traffic.
Red - congestion/traffic jam/accident.
Black - road closed.
NOTE
Traffic information is not available in all areas/countries. Coverage areas for traffic information is continuously extended.

Map updating
MapCare is a free map update service for
Volvo vehicles equipped with Sensus Naviga- tion *.
General update informationMap updates can be done 2-12 times per year (depending on market). There are two ways to update maps. Either via a computer and USB flash drive or directly from the vehicle 24
(if the vehicle has an Inter-
net connection). The vehicle's map is divided into a number of fixed regions. When updating map data, thedriver does not need to update all of theseregions, but can instead choose to update onlyone or more specific regions. One or more regions can be updated when the vehicle has an Internet connection. However,updating a large number of regions or theentire map requires a significant amount ofdata, and it may be advisable to use a com-puter and USB flash drive instead.
NOTE
If an itinerary includes more than one region, all regions should have the sameversion number to enable the system tocalculate the best route to the destination.
Updating the map structureChanging the map structure may sometimes be necessary, e.g., if a region is added or if alarge region is divided into smaller ones. If thisis the case, normal updates of individualregions may not be possible and a messagewill be displayed explaining what has hap-pened. In this situation, the entire map must be rein- stalled from a USB flash drive. For additionalinformation, search for support information onvolvocars.com or contact a Volvo retailer.
Updating navigation system softwareIn addition to maps, the navigation system's own software is under constant development and needs to be updated occasionally. Thiscould mean that a recently downloaded mapis not supported by the current navigation sys-tem software. In such cases, a message will be displayed indicating that the navigation system software must be updated. Consult aVolvo retailer for assistance with the update.

Ifthe transfer has not been completed when theignition is switched off, the update will con-tinue the next time the vehicle is driven. It isnot necessary to be driving during the update,but the ignition must be on. If the vehicle isnot driven during the update, battery assis-tance is recommended.
Updating
1. Activate the navigation system.
2. Connect the USB flash drive to the vehi-cle's USB port. If there are two USB ports, the other port cannot be used at the sametime. 3. The navigation system automatically

Frequently Asked Questions regarding the navigation system
*
Here are answers to some frequently asked questions about the navigation systemSensus Navigation.
The vehicle's location on the map is not correct
The navigation system displays the vehicle's location with an accuracy of approximately20 meters (65 ft). Accuracy may be reduced slightly when driv- ing on a road that is parallel with another road,winding roads, multi-level roads and longstretches of road with no distinct curves. High mountains, buildings, tunnels, viaducts, interchanges, multi-level roads, etc. may alsoaffect the satellite signal reception, which mayalso reduce the system's ability to accuratelycalculate the vehicle's location.
The system does not always calculate
the fastest/shortest route
Route calculation takes into account factorssuch as distance, road width, type of road,traffic intensity and speed limits to find thetheoretically best possible route. Familiaritywith an area and experience may enable thedriver to find a more efficient route.
