pg. 54 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 (2.4T and T5 models only) 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.

D Vertical air flow
Direct the outer air vents toward the side windows to defrost.
In cold weather, close the air vents in the center of the dash to direct as much air as possible toward the windows.

AUTO
This function automatically regulates the Electronic Climate Control system so that the selected temperatures
are maintained. The blower, heating, air distribution (air flow) and air conditioning are controlled. If you prefer
to manually set any of these functions, the remaining functions will still be controlled automatically. Pressing the
AUTO button overrides any settings that were previously made manually.
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 43
for additional information on this function.
Never use ice scrapers made of metal as they can easily scratch the mirror surface.
Temperature
These controls are used to individually set the temperature for both sides of the passenger compartment.
Please note that the compartment will not be heated or cooled faster by setting the temperature higher or lower than
necessary.
ProCarManuals.com

Set the control to the temperature you prefer.
Defroster
This function defrosts/ de -ices the windshield and front side windows. The LED in the switch will light up to indicate
that the defrost function is engaged. Blower speed increases automatically and the air in the passenger compartment is
dehumidified. Recirculation will not function while defrost is engaged.
Blower control
Turn the control clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease the blower speed. Pressing the AUTO switch
will automatically regulate blower speed and override manual adjustment.
NOTE: Turning the blower control counter-clockwise until an orange LED comes on will turn both the blower and
the air conditioning off.
pg. 58 Electronic climate control, ECC (2.4T and T5)
Air distribution
Press AUTO to automatically regulate air flow or press any combination of the controls shown in the illustration to
manually adjust air flow. An LED in the switch will light up if an air flow control has been pressed.
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.
A/C - ON/OFF
Press the switch to turn the air conditioning on or off. The "ON" or "OFF" LED will light up to indicate if the system
is switched on or off. Other functions will still be regulated automatically (if the AUTO switch is on).
The air conditioning functions only at temperatures above 32° F (0° C).
ProCarManuals.com

While the Defroster function is selected, the air conditioning is temporarily activated to dehumidify the air, even if
you have manually switched the air conditioning off. This will only function if the blower is not switched off.
Recirculation
Press this switch to engage the recirculation function (air in the passenger compartment recirculates - no fresh air
enters the compartment). The LED in the switch will light up to indicate that the function is engaged.
Use this function if the outside air is contaminated with exhaust gases, smoke, etc or to heat/cool the car quickly.
Recirculation should not be used for more than 15 minutes. If your windows begin to fog or mist, make sure that
the recirculation function is switched off.
Selecting Defroster automatically switches recirculation off.
Timer mode activation: (cars with the Interior Air Quality system have no timer mode) Press and hold the
recirculation button for at least 3 seconds to activate a recirculation timer mode. The amber LED in the recirculation
button will flash 5 times to show that the timer mode is be activated. In timer mode, each time the recirculation button
is pressed, the climate control system will recirculate the air in the passenger compartment for 5-12 minutes,
depending on the outside air temperature, and then revert back to fresh air.
Timer mode deactivation: Press and hold the recirculation button for 3 seconds. The amber LED in the recirculation
button will illuminate steadily for 5 seconds to show a return to "normal" mode.
In normal mode, when the recirculation button is pressed, the climate control system will recirculate the air in the
passenger compartment until the recirculation button is pressed again.
Timer mode memory: If the car is turned off while timer mode is active, timer mode will still be active when the car
is restarted.
pg. 59 Electronic climate control, ECC (2.4T and T5)
Interior air quality sensor (option on 2.4T and T5)
Some cars are equipped with a multifilter and air quality sensor. The filter separates gases and particles, thereby
reducing the amounts of odors and contaminants entering the car. The air quality sensor detects increased levels of
contaminants in the outside air. When the air quality sensor detects contaminated outside air, the air intake closes and
the air inside the passenger compartment is recirculated, i. e. no outside air enters the car. The filter also cleans
recirculated passenger compartment air. When the ECC system is in the AUTO mode, the green LED will be on
.
Operation
Press
to operate the air quality sensor (normal setting).
Or:
Select one of the following three functions by pressing
.1, 2 or 3 times.
1. The AUT LED lights. The air quality sensor is now activated.
ProCarManuals.com

2. No LED lights. Recirculation is not activated unless needed to cool the passenger compartment in a warm climate.
3. The MAN LED lights. Recirculation is now activated.
Keep in mind the following:
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 57.
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.

The seat heating for the passenger seat should be switched off when the seat is not occupied.
pg. 62 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.
