TECH & SOUND Communication
Road and Traffic Information (RTI)
Volvo's GPS-based RTI navigation system offers both voice guidance and graphic navigation all the way
to your destination. Via TMC (Traffic Message Channel) radio data broadcasts, RTI also lets you know
if there's weather-related trouble on route and recommends an alternative. Extremely swift and precise,
this new generation RTI features a hard disc drive covering maps for major parts of Europe. The system
is fully integrated in your Volvo and is easily controlled from the steering wheel or optional remote, and
the screen is positioned so you can keep your attention on traffic. You can choose between two operating
modes – Easy and Advanced. When RTI is not needed, the screen is hidden into the dash. To help
you keep track of new roads and points of interest, you can join our MapCare programme for two free
map updates.
