HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)

HomeLink1 is a system that can be programmed to learn the codes of three differen\
t remote controlled-devices (for
example, a garage door opener, remote lighting, entry gate). HomeLink's\
sun visor-mounted transceiver, powered by
your car's electrical system, may then be used in place of your handheld\
remote controls. The HomeLink transceiver
consists of three programmable buttons and an indicator light.

General information
Air conditioning - A/C
Your car is equipped with an Electronic Climate Control (ECC).
The air conditioning system can be switched off, but for optimal air qua\
lity in the passenger compartment
and to prevent the windows from fogging, the air conditioning should be \
left on - even in cool weather.
NOTE

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.
