In warm weather, a small amount of water may accumulate under the car wh\
en 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 repai\
rs on the climate system. Work of
this type should only be done by a trained and qualified Volvo service t\
echnician.
Refrigerant
Volvo cares about the environment. The air conditioning system in your c\
ar contains a CFC-free
refrigerant - R134a. This substance will not deplete the ozone layer. Th\
e 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 your Volvo retailer \
for these intervals. The filter
should be replaced more often when driving under dirty and dusty conditi\
ons. 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 t\
hat have been made.
Personal settings
There are two functions in the climate system that can be set to your pr\
eferences:
l Blower speed to Auto mode (models with ECC only).
l Timer controlled recirculation of the air in the passenger compartment.

The AUTO function automatically regulates climate control to maintain th\
e desired
temperature. The automatic function controls heating, air conditioning, \
blower speed, recirculation, and
air distribution.
If you select one or more manual functions, the remaining functions cont\
inue to be controlled
automatically. All manual settings are

Electronic Climate Control (ECC)
switched off when AUTO is switched on. AUTO CLIMATE is shown in the disp\
lay.
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 blowe\
r 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 symb\
ol 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. If the air in the ca\
r recirculates for too long, there is a

risk of condensation forming on the insides of the windows, especially i\
n winter.
Timer
The timer function minimizes the risk of fogging, or stale air when the \
recirculation function is selected.
See
page 73 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.
When the defroster is activated:
l Air flows to the windows at high blower speed.
l The LED in the defroster button lights up when this function is activate\
d. The air conditioning system
is controlled to provide maximum air dehumidification.
l The air conditioning is automatically switched on (can be switched off \
by pressing button 5).
The air is not recirculated.
5. Airflow controls
Press one of the three buttons in the illustration to activate the selec\
ted airflow. A symbol
in the display above the climate control panel and a lit LED in the sele\
cted 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 85.
