several minutes before driving will help release the warm air from the p\
assenger compartment. When
the engine is running, close the windows and sun roof and use the recirc\
ulation function for several
minutes to enable the air conditioning to cool the compartment as quickl\
y as possible.
Windows and optional sun roof
The ECC system will function best if the windows and optional sun roof a\
re 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 acce\
leration.
ECC 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 c\
ar contains a CFC-free
refrigerant - R134a. This substance will not deplete the ozone layer. Th\
e system contains 2.2 lbs (1000
g) R134a and uses PAG oil.
Passenger compartment blower
Approximately 50 minutes after the ignition is turned off, the blower ma\
y come on automatically, and
run for five minutes, to remove condensation in the A/C evaporator.
