Remote central locking and sideview mirror memory
If you lock the car and later unlock it with the same remote control and open the driver's door, the
sideview mirrors will automatically move to the position they were in wh\

The mirrors should always be adjusted prior to driving. Objects seen in \
the wide-angle sideview
mirror are closer than they appear to be.

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 conditi\
ons. 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 temperatu\
re sensor in the ECC control
panel should not be covered in any way as this could cause incorrect inf\
ormation 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 wind\
ows and moonroof (option) for
several minutes before driving will help release the warm air from the p\
assenger compartment. When
the engine is running, close the windows and moonroof and use the recirc\
ulation function for several
minutes to enable the air conditioning to cool the compartment as quickl\
y as possible.

Recirculation (see also page 48)
Press this switch to engage the recirculation function (air in the pass\
enger compartment recirculates - no
fresh air enters the compartment). The LED in the switch will light up \
to indicate that the function is
engaged.
l Use this function if the outside air is contaminated with exhaust gases,\
smoke, etc or to heat/cool the
car quickly.
l 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.
l Selecting Defroster automatically switches recirculation off.
l Timer mode activation: (Cars with Interior Air Quality system have no timer mode) Press and \
hold
the recirculation button for at least 3 seconds to activate a recirculat\
ion timer mode. The amber LED in
the recirculation button will flash 5 times to show that the timer mode \
is being activated. In the timer
mode, each time the recirculation button is pressed, the climate control\
system will recirculate the air in

C).
l 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. Th\
is will only function if the blower
is not switched off.

pg. 51 Electronic Climate Control (ECC) with Interior Air Quality syst\
em (option)
Interior Air Quality system (option)
Some cars are equipped with a Multifilter and Air quality sensor. The fi\
lter 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 qualit\
y sensor detects contaminated
outside air, the air intake closes and the air inside the passenger comp\
artment is recirculated, i.e. no
outside air enters the car. The filter also cleans recirculated passenge\
r compartment air. When the Air
quality sensor is activated, the LED AUT comes on in

Operation:
Press to activate the Air quality sensor (normal setting).
Or select one of three functions by pressing
.

1. Press : the LED AUT comes on. The Air quality sensor is now activated.
2. Press
: no LED is lighted. Recirculation not activated.
3. Press
: the LED MAN comes on. Recirculation is now activated.
You can switch between these three functions by repeatedly pressing

Keep the following in mind:
l Make it a rule to have the Air quality sensor activated at all times.
l Recirculation is limited in cold climates to avoid misting up.
l If misting occurs, you should deactivate the Air quality sensor.
l If the windows mist up, you can also use the windshield and side window \
defroster functions. See
page 49.
l The filter should be changed at the intervals listed in the Warranty and\
Service Records Information
booklet. However, if the car is used in a severely contaminated environm\
ent, it may be necessary to
change the filter more frequently.

A/C - ON/OFF
The air conditioning function is engaged by pressing ON and disengaged b\
y pressing OFF. When you
select Defroster
, the air conditioning is automatically engaged if the fan is not set to\
position 0.
Heated front seats (option)
Please see page 38 for more information on this function.
Heated rear window/sideview mirrors
This function demists/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 38 for additional information on this function.
CAUTION:
Never use ice scrapers made of metal as they can easily scratch the mirr\
or surface.
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 outsid\
e the car is taken into the car
when this function is activated. Recirculation (together with the air c\
onditioning 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:
