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.
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 74
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.

Directs airflow to the windshield and side windows and increases blower speed. When the defroster is activated:
Air flows to the windows at high 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 conditioning is automatically switched on (can be switched off by pressing button 6).
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 90

Exterior plastic components
Cleaning exterior plastic components should be done with a cleaning agent specially designed for this purpose.
Solvents or stain removers should not be used. Consult your Volvo retailer.
NOTE
When washing the car, remember to remove dirt from the drain holes in the doors and sills.
NOTE
During high pressure washing, the spray mouthpiece must never be closer to the vehicle than 13" (30 cm). Do not
spray into the locks.
When washing or steam cleaning the engine, avoid spraying water or steam directly on the electrical components
or toward the rear side of the engine. Special moonroof cautions:
Always close the moonroof and sun shade before washing your vehicle.
Never use abrasive cleaning agents on the moonroof.
Never use wax on the rubber seals around the moonroof
Automatic washing - simple and quick
We do NOT recommend washing your car in an automatic wash during the first six months (because the paint will not
have hardened sufficiently).
An automatic wash is a simple and quick way to clean your car, but it is worth remembering that it may not be as
thorough as when you yourself go over the car with sponge and water. Keeping the underbody clean is most important,
especially in the winter. Some
177 08 Car care
Washing and cleaning the car
automatic washers do not have facilities for washing the underbody.
CAUTION
Before driving into an automatic car wash, turn off the optional rain sensor to avoid damaging the windshield
wipers.
Make sure that side view mirrors, auxiliary lamps, etc, are secure, and that any antenna(s) are retracted or
removed. Otherwise there is risk of the machine dislodging them.
Chromed wheels : Clean chrome-plated wheels using the same detergents used for the body of the vehicle.
Aggressive wheel-cleaning agents can permanently stain chrome-plated wheels
WARNING
When the car is driven immediately after being washed, apply the brakes several times in order to remove any
moisture from the brake linings.
Engine cleaning agents should not be used when the engine is warm. This constitutes a fire risk.
Exterior lighting
Condensation may form temporarily on the inside of the lenses of exterior lights such as headlights, fog lights, or
taillights. This is normal and the lights are designed to withstand moisture. Normally, condensation will dissipate after
the lights have been on for a short time.
