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.

Folding front seat backrest
Folding front seat backrest
The passenger seat backrest can be folded down to the horizontal position for carrying long loads. To fold down the
backrest:
Move the seat as far rearward as possible
Adjust the backrest tilt to the most upright position
Lift the catches on the lower rear side of the backrest
ProCarManuals.com

Backrest controls (on opposite sides of trunk)
Folding rear seat backrest
The rear seat backrest is split into two sections. Each section can be folded independently to allow you to transport
long objects.
To fold down the backrest(s):
Pull the release control handle(s) in the trunk to release the backrest(s) (see illustration above). If the outboard rear
head restraints are folded down, they should be returned to the upright position before folding the backrest down. It
may be necessary to manually adjust the center head restraint.
Fold the backrest down.
WARNING!
All S80 cars feature 60/40 split fold-down rear seats. This function is performed by handles inside the trunk, and
also provides a means for children and adults to enter the passenger compartment in the event they become locked
inside the trunk.
Adults are advised to familiarize themselves with the operation and location of the release handles.
To fold down the rear seats from inside the trunk, pull the release control handles located on either side of the trunk.
WARNING!
Keep vehicle doors and the luggage compartment locked and keep keys out of a child's reach. Unsupervised
children could lock themselves in an open trunk and risk injury. Children should be taught not to play in vehicles.
On hot days, the temperature in the trunk or vehicle interior can rise very quickly. Exposure of people to these
high temperatures for even a short period of time can cause heat-related injury or death. Small children are
particularly at risk.
WARNING!
When the backrest is returned to the upright position, check that it is properly locked in place. Return the head
restraints to the upright position.
Long loads should always be securely anchored to help avoid injury in the event of a sudden stop.
Always turn the engine off and apply the parking brake when loading/unloading the vehicle.
Place the transmission in the P (PARK) position to help prevent inadvertent movement of the gear selector.

If the range of the transmitter is noticeably reduced, this indicates that the battery is weak and should be replaced.
To replace the battery
Remove the cover by carefully prying up its rear edge with a small screwdriver
Replace the battery with a new 3-volt, CR 2032 battery. The battery should be inserted with the plus side upward.
Avoid touching the contact surfaces of the battery with your fingers.
Press the cover back into place. Ensure that the rubber seal seats correctly to help prevent moisture from entering the
unit.
NOTE: The old battery should be disposed of properly at a recycling center or at your Volvo retailer.

If, for any reason, it should be necessary to unlock the trunk with the master key:
Press the key into the upper or lower edge of the cover over the lock in the trunk lid.
