engine running).
To slide open the sun roof: Pull the switch back to the first detent (" stop") and hold it until the sun roof has
opened to the position you prefer. The sun roof will initially open to the "comfort" 1 position. Pull and hold the switch

To close the sun roof: Push the switch forward to the first detent (" stop") and hold it until the sun roof has closed
completely.

the switch. To close, pull the front section of the switch straight down until the sun roof has closed completely.
pg. 50 Electrically operated sun roof

CAUTION:
ProCarManuals.com

Do not attempt to fully close the sun visor when the sun roof is in the ventilation position as this could damage the
mechanism.
WARNING!
The sun roof must never be obstructed in any way when in operation.

pg. 52 Climate control systems - general information
Condensation on the inside of the windows
Keeping the insides of the windows clean will help reduce the amount of condensation that forms on the windows.
Use a commercial window cleaning agent to clean the windows.
Ice and snow
Always keep the air intake grille at the base of the windshield free of snow.
Cabin air filter
Replace the cabin air filter with a new one at the recommended intervals. The filter should be replaced more often
when driving under dirty and dusty conditions. The filter cannot be cleaned and therefore should always be replaced
with a new one.
Sensors
The sunlight sensor on the dashboard and passenger compartment temperature sensor in the ECC control panel should
not be covered in any way as this could cause incorrect information to be sent to the ECC system.
Parking the car in warm weather
If your car has been parked in the sun in warm weather, opening the windows and sun roof (option) for several
minutes before driving will help release the warm air from the passenger compartment. When the engine is running,
close the windows and sun roof and use the recirculation function for several minutes to enable the air conditioning to
cool the compartment as quickly as possible.
Windows and optional sun roof
The optional ECC system will function best if the windows and optional sun roof are closed. If you drive with the sun
roof open, we recommend that you manually adjust the temperature and blower control (the LED in the AUTO switch
should be off).
Acceleration
The air conditioning is momentarily disengaged during full-throttle acceleration.
Climate control maintenance
All maintenance on the climate control systems should be carried out by an authorized Volvo service technician only.
Refrigerant
Volvo cares about the environment. The air conditioning system in your car contains a CFC-free refrigerant - R134a.

in alarm, which would sound if one of the doors were opened
the optional interior motion and inclination alarm sensors.
Doing so would DEACTIVATE:
the sunroof and interior courtesy light controls.
the central locking buttons on the front door armrests, although the interior door handles would still function to
allow occupants to leave the car.
Disabled features would remain disabled until the remote were used again to unlock the car.
In addition, locking an occupied vehicle would hinder rapid access to the occupants in an accident or emergency.
Replacing the battery in the remote control
If the range of the transmitter is noticeably reduced, this indicates that the battery is weak and should be replaced.
To replace the battery
Remove the screw on the transmitter cover with a small screwdriver.
Remove the cover carefully pressing it rearward/ upward.
Replace the battery with a new 3- volt, CR 2032 battery. The battery should be inserted with the minus side
upward. Avoid touching the contact surfaces of the battery with your fingers.
Reinstall the cover and tighten the screw to help protect the transmitter.
