Note
- Using apps that are not compatible with Apple CarPlay may sometimes result in a broken connection between an iPhone and the vehicle.
- Please be aware that Volvo has no control over the content of the Apple CarPlay app.
- Apple CarPlay can only be used if Bluetooth is disabled. Therefore, a cell phone or a media player connected via Bluetooth will not be accessible while Apple CarPlay is active.
- To connect the vehicle to the Internet while Apple CarPlay is active, use Wi-Fi or the vehicle's integrated modem.
If navigation guidance is being provided by Apple CarPlay, this will only be shown on the center display (not on the head-up display* or the instrument panel).
The Apple CarPlay apps can be controlled from the center display or voice-controlled using Siri (the same as for a cell phone). Certain functions can also be controlled from the right-side steering wheel keypad. Press and hold the 
button to activate Siri. If Siri cuts off too soon, press and hold the button.
