    CD remote changer


    The CD changer, which is available separately, is loaded with a cartridge containing 6 discs. Extra cartridges are available at your Volvo retailer.
    Insert the discs into the cartridge, label (A) up.
    Insert the cartridge and close the cover.
    Eject the cartridge by pressing the eject button (B).

    Operating tips :


  • Before using a new disk for the first time, remove any burrs in the center/outer edge by running the stem of a pen or similar object around the hole/edge of the disc.
  • Use high quality discs only.
  • Keep the discs clean. Wipe them with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth, working from the center outwards. If necessary, dampen the cloth with a neutral soap solution. Dry thoroughly before using.
  • Never use cleaning spray or anti-static liquid. Use only cleaners specifically made for CD's.
  • Use discs of the correct size only (3.5" discs should never be used).
  • Do not put tape or labels on the disc itself.
  • Volvo does not recommend the use of plastic outer rings on the disc.
  • Condensation may occur on discs/optical components of the changer in cold winter weather. The disc can be dried with a clean, lint-free cloth. Optical components in the CD changer may, however, take up to one hour to dry off.
  • Never attempt to play a disc which is damaged in any way.
  • When not in use, the discs should be stored in their covers. Avoid storing discs in excessive heat, direct sunlight or dusty locations.
