Follow these instructions to program
HomeLink ®
, reset all programming, or program
individual buttons.
NOTE In some vehicles, the ignition must be on or in
the "accessory position" before HomeLink
®
can be programmed or used. It can be a good
idea to put new batteries in the remote con-
trol being replaced by HomeLink ®
for faster
programming and better radio signal trans-
mission. The HomeLink ®
buttons should be
reset before programming.
WARNING While HomeLink
®
is being programmed, the
garage door or gate being programmed may
be activated. Make sure that no one is near
the door or gate during programming. When
programming a garage door opener, it is
advised to park outside of the garage. 1.
Point the remote control at the HomeLink ®
button to be programmed and hold it about
2-8 cm (1-3 inches) from the button. Do not
obstruct the HomeLink ®
indicator light.
Note: Some remote controls are more effec-
tive at programming HomeLink ®
from a dis-
tance of about 15-20 cm (6-12 inches). Try
moving the remote control closer or further
away if you are experiencing any difficulties
programming.
2.
Press and hold both the remote control but-
ton and the HomeLink ®
button to be pro-
grammed.
3. Do not release the buttons until the indicator light has stopped flashing slowly (about once
a second) and either flashes quickly (about
10 times a second) or glows steadily.
>Steady glow: Indication that program-
ming is complete. Press the programmed
button twice to activate.
Flashing quickly: The device being pro-
grammed with HomeLink ®
may have a
security function that requires an extra
step. Try pressing the programmed button
twice to see whether the programming
works. Otherwise, continue with the fol-
lowing steps. 4. Locate the "training" button
13
on the
receiver for the e.g. garage door opener. It is
usually located near the antenna bracket on
the receiver.
5.

Press and release the "training" button once.
Programming must be completed within 30
seconds after pressing the button.
6. Press and release the HomeLink ®
button to
be programmed. Repeat the press/hold/
release sequence a second time. For some
receivers, the sequence may need to be
repeated a third time.
> Programming is now completed and the garage door, gate, etc. should now be
activated when the programmed button is
pressed.
If you experience any difficulties programming,
please contact HomeLink ®
at: 12
Certain markets only.

at once. It is not possible to reset individual but-
tons. Individual buttons can only be reprogram-
med.

* (p. 481) Using HomeLink
Once HomeLink ®
is programmed, it can be
used instead of the separate remote controls.
Press and hold the programming button. The
garage door, gate, alarm system, etc. will be acti-
vated (this may take several seconds). If the but-
ton is held down for more than 20 seconds,
reprogramming will begin. The indicator light will
glow steadily or flash when the button has been
pressed. The original remote controls may be
used concurrently with HomeLink ®
if desired.
NOTE If the ignition is off, HomeLink
®
works for
30 minutes after the driver's door has been
opened.
WARNING •
If you use HomeLink ®
to open a garage
door or gate, be sure no one is near the
gate or door while it is in motion.
• Do not use HomeLink ®
with any garage
door opener that lacks safety stop and
reverse features as required by US fed-
eral safety standards (this includes any
garage door opener model manufactured
before April 1, 1982). A garage door that
cannot detect an object - signaling the
door to stop and reverse - does not meet
current U.S. federal safety standards. For
more information, contact HomeLink at:
www.homelink.com.

The globe is divided into 15 magnetic zones.
The compass should be calibrated if the vehicle
is driven from one zone to another.
To calibrate the compass:
1.
Stop the vehicle in a large, open area away
from steel constructions and high-voltage
power lines.
2. Start the engine and switch off all electrical equipment (climate system, wipers, etc.) and
make sure all doors are closed.
NOTE Calibration may fail or not even be initiated if
electrical equipment is not turned off.
3. Hold the button on the bottom of the rear-
view mirror pressed for about 3 seconds

AUDIO, MEDIA AND INTERNET
* Option/accessory.

The audio and media system consists of a media
player and a radio. A cellular phone can also be
connected through Bluetooth to use hands-free
functions or play music in the vehicle. When the
vehicle is connected to the Internet, it is also
possible to use apps to play media. Audio and media overview
The functions can be controlled using voice com-
mands, the steering wheel keypad or the center
display. The number of speakers and amplifiers
varies depending on the audio system installed in
the vehicle.
System updates
The audio and media system is continuously
improved. When the vehicle has an Internet con-
nection, system updates can be downloaded for
optimal functionality; see support.volvocars.com.

(p. 539) Sound settings
The audio system is precalibrated for optimal
sound reproduction but these settings can be
personalized.
The system's volume is normally adjusted using
the volume control below the center display or
the right-side steering wheel keypad. This
applies, for example, when playing music or the
radio or during phone calls and active traffic mes-
sages.
Optimal sound reproductionThe audio system is precalibrated for optimal
sound reproduction using digital signal process-
ing. This calibration takes into account speakers,
amplifiers, passenger compartment acoustics, lis-
tener position, etc. for each combination of vehi-
cle model and audio system. There is also a
dynamic calibration that takes into account the
volume control setting and the vehicle's speed.
Sound settings as needed
In Top view under Settings Sound, the fol-
lowing settings can be selected:
• Tone — personal preference for bass, treble,
equalizer for example.
• Balance - balance between right/left and
front/rear speakers.
• System Volumes – adjusts volume in the
various systems of the car, e.g.
Voice
Control, Park Assist and Phone Ringtone.
