The previously programmed device has now been erased and the new device can be activated by pressing the
HomeLink button that has just been programmed. This procedure will not affect any other programmed HomeLink
buttons
NOTE:
Retain the original transmitter(s) for future programming procedures (e.g., if you purchase a new vehicle).
For your own security, erase all programmed buttons on the HomeLink Universal Transceiver when you sell your
vehicle.
Metallic sun protection films should not be used on any windows in a vehicle equipped with HomeLink Universal
Transceiver. This could interfere with the transceivers function.

General information
Air conditioning - A/C
Your car is equipped with Electronic Climate Control (ECC), which automatically maintains the selected temperature
in the passenger compartment and helps dehumidify the air.
NOTE:
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.
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
Special tools and equipment are required to maintain and carry out repairs on the climate system. Work of this type
should only be done by a trained and qualified 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 a trained and qualified Volvo service technician 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 in Auto mode.
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 52
.
Climate system 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.
Acceleration
The air conditioning system is temporarily switched off during full throttle acceleration.

ECC functions
1. Auto -On/Off
The AUTO function automatically regulates climate control to maintain the desired temperature. The
automatic function controls heating, air conditioning, blower speed, recirculation, and air distribution.
When the retractable hard top is down, warm or cool air from the climate system is directed downward in the
passenger compartment, and the climate system's effect is limited if it is not possible to compensate for the ambient
temperature.
If you select one or more manual functions, the remaining functions continue to be controlled automatically. All
manual settings are switched off when AUTO is switched on. AUTO CLIMATE is shown in the display.
2. Blower speed
The blower speed can be increased or decreased by turning the knob. The blower speed is regulated
automatically if AUTO is selected. The previously set blower speed is disconnected.
NOTE: If the knob is turned counterclockwise and the blower indication in the display goes out, the blower and the air
conditioning are switched off. The display shows the blower symbol and OFF.
3. 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.

pg. 61 Climate
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.

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:
pg. 62 Climate
Electronic climate control (ECC)
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.
