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. Please refer to your Warranty and Service
Records Information booklet, or consult your Volvo retailer for these 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 moonroof (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 moonroof and use the recirculation function for several minutes to enable the air conditioning
to cool the compartment as quickly as possible.
Windows and optional moonroof
The ECC system will function best if the windows and optional moonroof are closed. If you drive with the moonroof
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.
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 being 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.
pg. 49 Climate control
Electronic climate control, ECC (contd)
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.
Interior air quality sensor (option)
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.
ProCarManuals.com

1. The AUT LED lights. The air quality sensor is now activated.
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 47.
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.

Steering wheel lock
The steering wheel lock might be under tension when the car is parked.
Turn the steering wheel slightly to free the ignition key.
In order to help reduce car theft, make sure the steering wheel lock is engaged before leaving the car.
WARNING!
Never switch off the ignition (turn the ignition key to position 0) or remove the key from the ignition switch while
the car is in motion. This could cause the steering wheel to lock, which would make the car impossible to steer
* The gear selector must be in the ( P)ark position (automatic transmission).
** Please be aware that leaving the key in this position will increase battery drain.
pg. 83 Starting and driving
General information
Economical driving conserves natural resources
Better driving economy may be obtained by thinking ahead, avoiding rapid starts and stops and adjusting the speed of
your vehicle to immediate traffic conditions. Observe the following rules:
Bring the engine to normal operating temperature as soon as possible by driving with a light foot on the accelerator
pedal for the first few minutes of operation. A cold engine uses more fuel and is subject to increased wear.
Whenever possible, avoid using the car for driving short distances. This does not allow the engine to reach normal
operating temperature.
Drive carefully and avoid rapid acceleration and hard braking.
Do not exceed posted speed limits.
Avoid carrying unnecessary items (extra load) in the car.
Maintain correct tire pressure. Check tire pressure regularly (when tires are cold).
Remove snow tires when threat of snow or ice has ended.
Note that roof racks, ski racks, etc, increase air resistance and also fuel consumption.
Avoid using automatic transmission kickdown feature unless necessary.
However, at higher driving speeds, fuel consumption will be lower with the air conditioning on and the windows
closed than with the air conditioning off and the windows open.
Using the onboard trip computer's fuel consumption modes can help you learn how to drive more economically.
Other factors that decrease gas mileage are:
Dirty air cleaner
Dirty engine oil and clogged oil filter
Dragging brakes
Incorrect front end alignment Some of the above mentioned items and others are checked at the standard

Applicable warranties - U.S.
In accordance with applicable U.S. and Canadian regulations, the following list of warranties is provided
New Car Limited Warranty
Parts and Accessories Limited Warranty
Corrosion Protection Limited Warranty
Seat Belt and Supplemental Restraint Systems Limited Warranty
Emission Design and Defect Warranty
Emission Performance Warranty
These are the Federal warranties; other warranties are provided as required by state/provincial law. Refer to your
separate Warranty and Service Records Information booklet for detailed information concerning each of the warranties.
pg. 121 Maintenance and service
Periodic maintenance helps minimize emissions
Periodic maintenance will help keep your vehicle running well. Your Warranty and Service Records Information
booklet provides a comprehensive periodic maintenance schedule up to 150,000 miles (240,000 km) of vehicle service.
The schedule includes components that affect vehicle emissions. This page describes some of the emission-related
components.
Engine air filter
The engine air filter cleans particles from air entering the engine. Replace the engine air filter cartridge with a new one
every 37,500 miles (60,000 km) under normal driving conditions. Replace the cartridge more often when the vehicle is
driven under dirty and dusty conditions. The cartridge cannot be cleaned, and should always be replaced with a new
one.
Fuel filter
The fuel filter should be replaced at 105,000 miles (168,000 km). The filter is replaced as one complete unit. Replace
more frequently if contaminated fuel is introduced into the tank, or if there is reason to suspect that this has occurred.
Fuel system, including filler cap, tank and lines and connections
The ability of the fuel system to contain hydrocarbons is dependent upon a leak-free system. Inspect fuel lines every
30,000 miles (48,000 km). Check for proper sealing of the fuel filler cap which contains "O" ring type seals.
NOTE: If the fuel filler cap is not closed tightly or if the engine is running when the car is refueled, the Check Engine
light (Malfunction Indicator) may indicate a fault. However, your vehicle's performance will not be affected. Use only
Volvo original or approved fuel filler caps.
Timing belt
For proper functioning of the engine and emission control systems, the timing belt and belt tensioner must be replaced
every 105,000 miles (168,000 km). Engine damage will occur if the belt fails.
PCV system
(on turbocharged models)
The nipple in the intake manifold and the filter at the end of the PCV hose in the air cleaner should be inspected at
