pg. 48 Electronic Climate Control  (ECC)
 AUTO
This function automatically  regulates the Electronic Climate Control system so that the selected temperatures are
maintained.  The blower, heating,  air distribution (air flow) and  air conditioning are controlled. If you prefer  to
manually set any  of these functions, the remaining functions will still  be  controlled automatically.  Pressing the AUTO
button overrides any  settings that were  previously made manually. 
 Temperature
These controls are used to individually set the temperature for both sides of the passenger  compartment. Please note
that the compartment will not be  heated or cooled faster by setting the temperature higher or lower than necessary.  
Set the control to the temperature you prefer.
 Defroster
This function demists/de-ices the windshield and  front  side windows. The LED  in the switch will light up to indicate
that the defrost function is engaged. Blower  speed increases automatically  and  the air in the passenger  compartment is
dehumidified. Recirculation will not function while defrost is engaged.
 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
ProCarManuals.com 

that the heating  function is engaged. See  page 39 for additional information on this  function.
CAUTION:
Never  use ice scrapers made of metal as they can easily scratch the mirror surface.
pg. 49 Electronic Climate Control  (ECC) - manual settings
 Recirculation (see also page 51)
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 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 the time mode, each time the recirculation button is
pressed, the climate  control system will recirculate the air in the passenger  compartment for 5 to 12 minutes, depending
on the outside air and  then revert back to fresh air.
Timer mode deactivation:  Press and  hold the recirculation button for at least 3 seconds. The amber LED  in the
recirculation button will illuminate steadily for 5 seconds to show a  return to "normal" mode.
 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.
 Heated front seats (option)
Please see page 39
 for more information on this  function.

If the doors are locked while driving, this  may hinder rapid access to the occupants of the car in the event of an
accident. (Also see information on "Child  safety locks").

a  properly coded key.
If you misplace a  key,  take the other keys to an  authorized Volvo retailer for reprogramming as an  antitheft measure.
