Electronic climate control (ECC)
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 fogging, or stale air when the recirculation function is selected. See page 52
for information on setting the recirculation timer.
NOTE: Recirculation is always disengaged if the defroster button is engaged to clear ice or condensation from the side
windows.
4. Defroster
Directs airflow to the windshield and side windows and increases 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. The air is not recirculated.
5. Airflow controls
Press one of the three buttons in the illustration to activate the selected airflow. A symbol in the display
above the climate control panel and a lit LED in the selected button indicate that the manual function has been
selected. With manually selected airflow both warm and cool air can be selected. See also the table on page 63
.
6. Air conditioning On/Off
The air conditioning system is controlled automatically by the system when the ON LED is lit to maintain
the selected temperature.
When OFF is selected and the OFF LED is lit, the air conditioning system is deactivated. Other functions are still
controlled automatically.
When Defroster (4) is selected, the air conditioning system is activated for maximum dehumidifying.
7 and 8. Heated front seats (option)
Maximum heating: Press the button once - both LEDs light up.
Reduced heating: Press the button a second time - one LED lights up.
Seat heating off: Press the button a third time - no LEDs are lit.
9. Rear window and door mirror defrosters
Press to defrost the rear window and door mirrors.
ProCarManuals.com

The rear window and door mirrors are defrosted simultaneously if the switch is pressed once. The function is active if
one LED is lit in the switch. The door mirrors are deactivated automatically after approximately 6 minutes. The rear
window is deactivated after approximately 12 minutes.
NOTE: This function is automatically switched off when the power retractable hard top is down.
10. Temperature selector
The temperatures on the driver's and passenger's sides can be set separately using the knob (with the
thermometer in it). The temperature can be set for both sides of the car when the ignition is switched on (both LEDs
will be on), which means that a temperature setting will apply to both sides of the car.
To set the temperature on one side of the car:

Press the knob once. The LED for one side of the car will light up. Turn the knob to adjust the temperature.
Press the knob a second time to set the temperature on the opposite side of the car.
Press the knob a third time to set the temperature on both sides of the car the same time.
NOTE: Selecting a temperature that is higher or lower than necessary will not heat or cool the passenger compartment
faster.

Gross vehicle weight (GVW)
The vehicle's curb weight + cargo + passengers.
NOTE:
The location of the various labels in your vehicle can be found on page 188.
A table listing important weight limits for your vehicle can be found on page 189.
Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit
(1) Locate the statement ''the combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX pounds'' on your
vehicle's placard.
(2) Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle.
(3) Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kilograms or XXX pounds.
(4) The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. For example, if the ''XXX''
amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb. passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and
luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1400-750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)
(5) Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely
exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4.
(6) If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this
manual
1 to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.
WARNING!
Exceeding the permissible axle weight, gross vehicle weight, or any other weight rating limits can cause tire
overheating resulting in permanent deformation or catastrophic failure.
Do not use replacement tires with lower load carrying capacities than the tires that were original equipment on the
vehicle because this will lower the vehicle's GVW rating. Replacement tires with a higher limit than the originals do
not increase the vehicle's GVW rating limitations.

Uniform Tire Quality Grading
ALL PASSENGER VEHICLE TIRES MUST CONFORM TO FEDERAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS IN
ADDITION TO THESE GRADES
Quality grades can be found, where applicable, on the tire sidewall between the tread shoulder and maximum
section width. For example:
Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature
A
TREADWEAR
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions
on a specified government test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one half (1 1/2) times as
well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual
conditions of their use, however, and many depart significantly from the norm due to variation in driving habits,
maintenance practices and differences in road characteristics and climate.
TRACTION
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C, as measured under controlled conditions on specified
government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance. The traction

The battery should be disconnected from the vehicle when a battery charger is used directly on the battery.
WARNING!
PROPOSITION 65 WARNING!
Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the state of
California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

Battery
Battery replacement
Switch off the ignition and remove the key.
Unscrew the cover over the battery.
Wait at least 5 minutes after switching off the ignition before disconnecting the battery so that all information in the
vehicle's electrical system can be stored in the control modules.
Remove the cover and unscrew the front side of the battery box using a screwdriver.
Disconnect the battery negative (ground)
Release the clamp holding the battery.
Disconnect the positive cable and lift out the battery.
Install the new battery in the reverse order.
WARNING!
Never expose the battery to open flame or electric spark.
Do not smoke near the battery.

WARNING!
Never use fuses with higher amperage than those stated in the following tables. Doing so could overload the
vehicle's electrical system.
Fuse box in the engine compartment
The fuse box in the engine compartment has positions for 36 fuses.
Fuses 1-18 are relays/circuit breakers and should only be removed or replaced by a trained and qualified Volvo
service technician.
Fuses 19-36 may be changed at any time when necessary. Several extra fuses and a fuse removal tool to assist in
removing/replacing fuses can be found on the underside of the fuse box cover in the engine compartment.
