WARNING!
l Never open/close the moonroof if it is obstructed in any way when in ope\
ration.
l Never allow a child to operate the moonroof.
l Never extend any object or body part though the open moonroof, even if t\
he vehicle's ignition is
completely switched off.
l Never leave a child alone in a vehicle.
* A position where the moonroof is not quite fully open, which helps all\
eviate "rumbling" wind noise.
pg. 44 Instruments and controls
Power moonroof (option) (contd)
If the moonroof is obstructed during auto-close operation, it will autom\
atically reverse direction and
return to its starting position. If the moonroof is repeatedly obstructe\
d during auto-close operation, an
overload circuit breaker will temporarily halt moonroof function. The mo\
onroof will return to normal
function after a brief cool-down period.
Visor
The optional moonroof also features a sliding visor. The visor slides op\
en automatically when the
moonroof is opened, and must be closed manually.

pg. 46 Climate control
Climate control system-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 in\
tervals. The filter should be replaced more often
when driving under dirty and dusty conditions. The filter cannot be clea\
ned 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 information to be se\
nt to the ECC system.
Parking the vehicle in warm weather
If your vehicle 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 a\
re 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 acce\
leration.
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 v\
ehicle contains a CFC-free refrigerant - R134a.
This substance will not deplete the ozone layer. The 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 seven
minutes, to remove condensation in the A/C evaporator.
Blower function to reduce battery drain
The climate system's blower functions normally while the engine is runni\
ng.
However, when the engine is switched off (even if the ignition is switc\
hed to positions I or II), the blower control will be
automatically switched off to avoid unnecessary battery drain. The follo\
wing points pertain if the ignition key is on but the
engine is not running:
l To restart the blower, turn the control knob to the setting of your choi\
ce.
l After approximately 2 minutes, the blower speed will be reduced to avoid\
battery drain.
You can reset the blower speed at any time. Please be aware that the sys\
tem has been designed to reduce the blower's speed
again after 2 minutes, until the engine is started. If the battery becom\
es drained:
l LOW BATTERY, FAN IS REDUCED will be displayed in the text window in the \
instrument panel.
l The yellow warning light in the instrument panel (see page 25) will also light up.

AUTO
This function automatically regulates the Electronic Climate Control sys\
tem so that the selected temperatures are
maintained. The blower, heating, air distribution (air flow) and air c\
onditioning are controlled.
If you prefer to manually set any of these functions, the remaining func\
tions will still be controlled automatically. Pressing
the AUTO button overrides any settings that were previously made manuall\
y.
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 35 for additional information on this function.
Never use ice scrapers made of metal as the can easily scratch the mirro\
r surface.
Temperature
These controls are used to individually set the temperature for both sid\
es of the passenger compartment. Please note that the
compartment will not be heated or cooled faster by setting the temperatu\
re higher or lower than necessary.
