WARNING!
Children must never be allowed in the front passenger's seat. Volvo recommends that ALL occupants (adults and
children) shorter than 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) be seated in the back seat of any vehicle with a passenger -side front
airbag. See 35
for guidelines.
Occupants in the front passenger's seat must never sit on the edge of the seat, sit leaning toward the instrument panel
or otherwise sit out of position.
The occupant's back must be as upright as comfort allows and be against the seat back with the seat belt properly
fastened.
Feet must be on the floor, e.g. not on the dash, seat or out of the window.
pg. 24 Front airbags (Supplemental Restraint System - SRS)
WARNING!
No objects or accessory equipment, e.g. dashboard covers, may be placed on, attached to, or installed near the SRS
hatch (the area above the glove compartment) or the area affected by airbag deployment (see the illustration on page
17).
There should be no loose articles, e.g. coffee cups, on the floor, seat, or dashboard area.
Never try to open the SRS cover on the steering wheel or the passenger's side dashboard. This should only be done
by an authorized Volvo service technician. Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury to the vehicle
occupants.

See the next page for additional information.
4. Information display
The display presents information and warning messages, the ambient temperature, and the clock, etc. When the
ambient temperature is between 23° and 36°F (-5° and +2°C), a snowflake symbol is shown in the display. This
symbol serves as a warning for possible slippery road surfaces. Please note that this symbol does not indicate a fault
with your car. At low speeds, or when the car is not moving, the temperature readings may be slightly higher than the
actual ambient temperature.
5. Information symbol
See the next page for additional information.
6. Turn signal, right
7. Tachometer
The tachometer shows engine speed in thousands of revolutions per minute (rpm). Do not drive continuously with the
needle in the red area of the dial, which indicates maximum allowable engine rpm range. Instead, shift to a higher gear
or slow the vehicle down. The engine management system will automatically prevent excessively high engines speeds.
This will be noticeable as a pronounced unevenness in engine speed.

9. Fuel gauge
The fuel tank holds approximately 15.9 US gallons (60 liters)

The trip odometers are used to measure short distances. Press the button briefly to switch between the odometer for the
car's total mileage and the two trip odometers, T1 and T2. A long press (more than 2 seconds) resets the currently
selected trip odometer.
11. Function display
This window displays information on functions such as the odometer, trip odometers, optional rain sensor, and cruise
control.

Electronic climate control (ECC)72
Air distribution75
pg. 68 General information
Air conditioning - A/C
Your car is equipped with a climate control system that includes either manually adjustable air conditioning or optional
Electronic Climate Control (ECC).
The air conditioning system can be switched off, but for optimal air quality in the passenger compartment and to
prevent the windows from fogging, the air conditioning should be left on - even in cool weather.
NOTE: In warm weather, a small amount of water may accumulate under the car when it has been parked. This water
is condensation from the A/C system and is normal.
Ice and snow
Always keep the air intake grille at the base of the windshield free of snow.
Climate control maintenance
Your Volvo retailer has the tools and equipment required to maintain and carry out any necessary repairs on the
climate system. Work of this type should only be done by an authorized Volvo service technician.
Refrigerant
Volvo cares about the environment. The air conditioning system in your car contains a CFC-free refrigerant - R134a.
This substance will not deplete the ozone layer. The system contains 1.2 lbs (530 g) R134a (HFC 134a), and uses PAG
oil.
Passenger compartment 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.
NOTE: There are different types of cabin air filters. Ensure that the correct type is installed.
Display
The display above the climate control panel shows the climate settings that have been made.

Personal settings
There are two functions in the climate system that can be set to your preferences:
Blower speed to Auto mode (models with ECC only).
Timer controlled recirculation of the air in the passenger compartment. For information about how to make these
settings, see the Personal settings section on page 62
.
Models equipped with ECC (option)
Sensors
The sunlight sensor on the upper side of the dashboard and the passenger compartment temperature sensor, located
behind the climate system control panel, should not be obstructed.
Side windows and optional moonroof
The electronic climate control system will function best if the windows and moonroof are closed. If you drive with the
windows or moonroof open, it may be preferable to manually adjust the temperature and blower control (the LED in
the AUTO switch should be off).
Acceleration
The air conditioning system is temporarily switched off during full throttle acceleration.

Manual climate system functions
1. Blower speed
The blower speed can be increased or decreased by turning the knob. If the knob is turned
counterclockwise and the indicator light in the display goes out, the blower and the air conditioning are switched off.
The display shows the blower symbol and OFF.
2. Recirculation
This function can be used to shut out exhaust fumes, smoke, 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 very warm weather. If the air in the car recirculates for too long, there is a risk of condensation forming on
the insides of the windows, especially in winter.
Timer
The timer function minimizes the risk of misting, or stale air when the recirculation function is selected. See page 62
for information on setting the recirculation timer. Recirculation is always disengaged when you select Defroster (3).
3. Defroster
Directs airflow to the windshield and side windows and increases blower speed.
Air flows to the windows at high blower speed.
The LED in the defroster button lights up when this function is activated. The air conditioning system is controlled
to provide maximum air dehumidification.
