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.

Parking the car in warm weather
If your car has been parked in the sun in warm weather, opening the
windows and moonroof (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 moonroof 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 moon-
roof 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).

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.

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 that the heating function
is engaged. See page 40 for additional informa-
tion on this function.

Press AUTO to automatically regulate air flow or press any combina-
tion of the controls shown in the illustration to manually adjust air flow.
An LED in the switch will light up if an air flow control has been
pressed.
Air conditioning ON/OFF
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).

Blower control
Turn the control clockwise to increase or counterclock-
wise 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.
