SENSUS: Connected Navigation [2018-2022]: Operation
The connected navigation function receives navigational data from/via:
- A USB flash drive. Map updates can be downloaded from the Volvo Cars support website/ Polestar support website to a USB flash drive via a computer. The data is received by the Infotainment Head Unit (IHU).
- Google maps (S90 / V90 / V90CC / XC60 MY22-)
- Remote update (for details, see separate function document).
During the installation of new map data, the vehicle has to temporarily be in usage mode abandoned. To achieve this, VIDA needs to be disconnected from the vehicle. If VIDA is not disconnected, it will prevent the vehicle from entering the usage mode abandoned. This applies both to wired and wireless VIDA connections.
The user interaction with the navigational information, for example the input of a target destination, can be done:
- On the Center Console Display (CCD)
- Via the steering wheel switch module SWSM
- Via voice control
The navigational information can be presented in the following ways:
- In the combined instrument display: street names and lane- and route guidance with arrows (including a graphical map in the 12" display).
- In the Graphical Head-up Display (GHUD): street names and lane- and route guidance with arrows, projected on the windshield.
- In the Center Console Display (CCD): street names and lane and route guidance with arrows in a graphical map.
- Via the speakers: audible destination guide.
The map data includes information about carpool lanes. The Supplemental Restraint System Module (SRS) transmits information about how many seat belts are being used to the Infotainment Head Unit (IHU). This information is used to provide navigation guidance that takes carpool lanes into account.
Traffic information can be presented on the graphical map and is used for route calculation. The connected navigation receives traffic information from FM radio, satellite radio and internet.
The Vehicle Connectivity Module (VCM) / Telematics and Connectivity Antenna Module (TCAM) provides the Infotainment Head Unit (IHU) with geographical position data for the vehicle from the Global Navigation Satellite System GNSS. The multiband antenna module MAM / Telematics and Connectivity Antenna Module (TCAM) handles the connection to the GNSS. If the vehicle loses connection with the GNSS, the Vehicle Dynamics Domain Master (VDDM) / Vehicle Computational Unit 1 (VCU1) provides the IHU with information about the vehicle speed in order to estimate the geographical position.
