Press the switch to turn the air conditioning on or off. The "ON" or "OFF" LED will light up to indicate if the system
is switched on or off. Other functions will still be regulated automatically (if the AUTO switch is on).
The air conditioning functions only at temperatures above 32° F (0° C).
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. This will only function if the blower is not switched off.
Blower control
Turn the control clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease the blower speed. Pressing the AUTO switch
will automatically regulate blower speed and override manual adjustment.
NOTE: Turning the blower control counterclockwise as far as possible (an orange LED next to the control will light
up) will turn both the blower and the air conditioning off.
pg. 50 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 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.
Sensors
The sunlight sensor on the dashboard and passenger compartment temperature sensor in the ECC control panel should
not be covered in any way as this could cause incorrect information 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 windows and sun roof (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 sun roof 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 are 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 acceleration.
ECC maintenance
All maintenance on the climate control systems should be carried out by an authorized Volvo service technician only.
Refrigerant
ProCarManuals.com
Volvo cares about the environment. The air conditioning system in your car contains a CFC-free refrigerant - R134a
(HFC134a). 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 may come on automatically, and run for five
minutes, to remove condensation in the A/C evaporator.
pg. 51 Electronic Climate Control (ECC) - with Interior Air Quality system (option)
Interior Air Quality system (option)
Some cars are equipped with a multifilter and air quality sensor. The filter 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 quality sensor detects contaminated outside air, the air intake closes and
the air inside the passenger compartment is recirculated, i.e. no outside air enters the car. The filter also cleans
recirculated passenger compartment air. When the Air quality sensor is activated, the LED AUT comes on in the
recirculation button
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:
Make it a rule to have the air quality sensor activated at all times.
Recirculation is limited in cold climates to avoid misting up.
If misting occurs, you should deactivate the Air quality sensor.
If the windows mist up, you can also use the windshield and side window defroster functions. See page 48.
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 environment, it may be necessary to change the filter more
frequently.

· Press the Park assist button on the center console (see page 31) to temporarily deactivate the system(s).
· The indicator light in the button will go out when the system(s) have been deactivated.
· If the vehicle is equipped with front and rear park assist, both systems will be deactivated by pressing the button.
NOTE:
It may be necessary to deactivate one or both of the park assist systems in certain cases.
· Rear park assist: towing a trailer, carrying bicycles in a rear-mounted carrier, etc, could trigger the rear park assist
system's sensors.
· Front park assist: it may not be possible to combine auxiliary headlights and front park assist since these lights
could trigger the system's sensors.
Faults in the system
If a fault should occur in the system, the LED in the button will be switched off and a message will be displayed in the
text window.
Cleaning the sensors
For the system to function properly, the sensors in the front and/or rear bumpers should be kept clean. They can be
cleaned with car washing detergent and a sponge.
WARNING!
These systems are designed to be a supplementary aid when parking the vehicle. They are not, however, intended to
replace the driver's attention and judgement.
pg. 84 Driving economy
Economical driving conserves natural resources
Better driving economy may be obtained by thinking ahead, avoiding rapid starts and stops and adjusting the speed of
your vehicle to immediate traffic conditions. Observe the following rules:
Bring the engine to normal operating temperature as soon as possible by driving with a light foot on the accelerator
pedal for the first few minutes of operation. A cold engine uses more fuel and is subject to increased wear.
Whenever possible, avoid using the car for driving short distances. This does not allow the engine to reach normal
operating temperature.
Drive carefully and avoid rapid acceleration and hard braking.
Do not exceed posted speed limits.
Avoid carrying unnecessary items (extra load) in the car.
Maintain correct tire pressure. Check tire pressure regularly (when tires are cold).
Remove snow tires when threat of snow or ice has ended.
Note that roof racks, ski racks, etc., increase air resistance and also fuel consumption.
Avoid using automatic transmission kickdown feature unless necessary.
Avoid using the air conditioning when it is not required. When engaged, the A/C compressor places an additional
load on the engine. However, at higher driving speeds, fuel consumption will be lower with the air conditioning on and
the windows closed than with the air conditioning off and the windows open.
Using the onboard trip computer's fuel consumption modes can help you learn how to drive more economically.
Other factors that decrease gas mileage are:
Dirty air cleaner
Dirty engine oil and clogged oil filter
Dragging brakes
Incorrect front end alignment
Some of the above mentioned items and others are checked at the standard Maintenance Service intervals.

Number of valves24
Charge air cooler (Intercooler)
Turbocharged engines employ a turbo-compressor to force air into the engine inlet manifold and a charge air cooler to
cool the compressed inlet air. The resulting increase in air flow raises pressure in the intake manifold and increases
engine power over that developed by the normally-aspirated engine. The charge air cooler (which resembles a radiator)
is located between the turbo-compressor and inlet manifold.
