Volvo Sensus Connect Navigation Activation

When navigation can be activated

If Sensus Connect is installed in your vehicle and you see the navigation message after pressing the NAV button, or if the function appears in VDASH, it means that your vehicle has navigation map support for certain regions or countries, such as Europe or the USA.
