2001 VOLVO S60 climate control

Make it a rule to have the air quality sensor activated at all times.
Recirculation is limited in cold climates to avoid fogging.
If window fogging occurs, you should deactivate the air quality sensor.
If fogging occurs, use the defroster functions for the windshield, side windows and rear window. See page 55.
The filter should be changed at the intervals recommended in the service schedule. However, if the car is used in a
severely contaminated environment, it may be necessary to change the filter more frequently.

pg. 59 Manual climate control with air conditioning, (A/ C)
A/ C - ON/ OFF
The air conditioning function is engaged by pressing ON and disengaged by pressing OFF.
When you select Defroster
, the air conditioning is automatically engaged if the fan is not set to position 0.
Blower
Blower speed can be increased or decreased by turning the knob. If the knob is set to 0, the air conditioning function
is automatically disengaged.
Temperature
Turn the control to set the temperature for the driver's and passenger's sides of the car. For cooler air, the air
conditioning function must be engaged.

Rear window and sideview mirror defrosters
This function defrosts/ de -ices the rear window and sideview mirrors. The LED in the switch will light up to indicate
that the heating function is engaged. See page 42
for additional information on this function.
Never use ice scrapers made of metal as they can easily scratch the mirror surface.
Heated front seats (option)
Press the switch once for maximum seat heating. Both LEDs in the switch will be lit.
Press the switch a second time for comfort heating. One LED in the switch will be lit.
Press the switch a third time to turn the heating off completely. The LED will go off.
The seat heating for the passenger seat should be switched off when the seat is not occupied.
pg. 60 Manual climate control with air conditioning, (A/ C)
Recirculation
Recirculation can be used to shut out stale air, exhaust, etc. from the passenger compartment. The air in the passenger
compartment is then recirculated, i. e. no air from outside the car is taken into the car when this function is activated.
Recirculation (together with the air conditioning system) cools the passenger compartment more quickly in warm
weather.
If you allow the air in the car to recirculate, there is a risk of icing and fogging, especially in winter. The timer
function minimizes the risk of ice, misting and stale air.
Activate the timer function as follows:
Press for more than 3 seconds. The LED flashes for 5 seconds. The air recirculates in the car for 3-12 minutes
depending on the outside temperature.
The timer function is activated each time you press . To switch off the timer function:
Press again for more than 3 seconds. The LED lights for 5 seconds to confirm your selection. Recirculation is
always disconnected when you select
Defroster.
Air distribution
Use the air distribution control positions (marked with dots) between the different symbols to fine-tune air distribution
for maximum comfort.

pg. 158 Uniform Tire Quality Grading
Uniform Tire Quality Grading
ALL PASSENGER CAR TIRES MUST CONFORM TO FEDERAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS IN
ADDITION TO THESE GRADES
Quality grades can be found, where appli- cable, on the tire sidewall between the tread shoulder and maximum
section width. For example:
Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A
TREADWEAR
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions
on a specified government test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one half (1 1/ 2) times as
well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual
conditions of their use, however, and many depart significantly from the norm due to variation in driving habits,
service practices and differences in road charac- teristics and climate.
TRACTION
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C, as measured under controlled conditions on
specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance..
WARNING!
The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking (straight- ahead) traction tests and is not a measure of
cornering (turning) traction.
TEMPERATURE
The temperature grades are AA (the highest), A, B, and C, representing the tire's resistance to the generation of heat
and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive
temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a minimum level of performance that all
passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher
levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.
WARNING!
The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive
speed, under-inflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and
possible tire failure.
