2007 VOLVO S60 Owners Manual

Rearview mirror with compass (option)
The upper left-hand corner of the rearview mirror has an integrated display that shows the compass direction toward
which the car is pointing. Eight different directions can be displayed: N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W and NW. The display
shows your car's orientation with respect to true north.
If the compass is activated, it will be displayed automatically when the ignition is in postilion II or when the engine is
running. The compass can be switched off or on by pressing the inset button on the rear side of the mirror (see the inset
illustration). This can be done with straightened paperclip or similar object. The button is recessed approximately 1 in.
(2.5 cm) in the mirror.

Magnetic zones
The earth is divided into 15 magnetic zones. The compass is initially set for the zone to which the car was delivered,
and should always be adjusted if the car is driven to a new magnetic zone. To do so:
- Switch the ignition to position II.
- Press the button on the rear side of the mirror with straightened paperclip or similar object for approximately 3
seconds until ZONE is displayed. The number of the current magnetic zone will also be displayed.
- Press the button repeatedly until the number for the desired zone (1-15) is displayed.

After several seconds, the compass heading will again be displayed, and the change of magnetic zones is complete.
Calibrating the compass
- Stop the car in a large, open area, away from traffic.
- Turn off as many electrical devices in the car as possible to avoid interference with the compass (e.g. audio system,
etc).
- Using a pen or similar object, hold the button (1) depressed for at least 6 seconds. "CAL" will be displayed.
- Drive slowly in a circle at a maximum speed of 5 m.p.h. (8 km/h) until CAL is no longer displayed.
NOTE: This step can also be done by driving normally until CAL is no longer displayed. Calibration is complete.

Rearview mirror/sideview mirrors
Power sideview mirrors
The mirror control switches are located on the driver's door armrest.
Driver's side: Press the L switch (an LED in the switch will light up) to activate the adjustment control and then use
this control to adjust the driver's door mirror.
Passenger's door: Press the R switch (an LED in the switch will light up) and then use the adjustment control to
adjust the passenger's door mirror.
After you have adjusted the mirror(s), press the L or R switch again (the LED will go out) to deactivate the adjustment
control.
WARNING!
ProCarManuals.com

The mirrors should always be adjusted prior to driving. Objects seen in the passenger's side wide -angle sideview
mirror are closer than they appear to be.
Remote central locking and sideview mirror memory-option
If you lock the vehicle and later unlock it with the same remote control and open the driver's door, the sideview
mirrors (and the driver's seat) will automatically move to the position they were in when you left the vehicle. This
feature will work in the same way with all of the remote control transmitters (up to 3) that you use with your vehicle.
This feature will not function if you lock your vehicle with the key.
Water repellent glass-option on certain models
The side door windows can be treated with a water repellent coating. The symbol to the left indicates
these windows have this coating. The optional laminated side windows always have this coating.
The coating improves vision by causing the water to run off quickly.
See page 163
for information on cleaning this type of glass.
CAUTION!
Use only suitable plastic scrapers to remove ice or snow from the windows. Using a metal ice scraper could damage
the water repellent coating.

Manual open: Pull the switch rearward to position 3 and hold it until the moonroof has opened to the position of your
choice.
Auto open: Pull the switch as far back as possible (position 4) and release it to automatically slide open the moonroof
to the "comfort"
1 position. Pull the switch rearward again to open the moonroof completely.
Manual close: Push the switch to position 2 and hold it until the moonroof has closed completely or to the position of
your choice.

Never allow a child to operate the moonroof.
Never extend any object or body part through the open moonroof, even if the vehicle's ignition is completely
switched off.
Never leave a child alone in a vehicle.
1. A position where the moonroof is not quite fully open, which helps alleviate "rumbling" wind noise.

Climate control systems - general information
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.
Ice and snow
Always keep the air intake grille at the base of the windshield free of snow.
Cabin air 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 conditions. The filter cannot be cleaned and therefore should always be
replaced with a new one.
Sensors
The sunlight sensor on the dashboard and passenger compartment temperature sensor in the ECC control panel should
not be covered in any way as this could cause incorrect information to be sent to the ECC system.
Parking the vehicle in warm weather
If your vehicle 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 moonroof 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).
Acceleration
The air conditioning is momentarily disengaged during full-throttle acceleration.

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 vehicle contains a CFC-free refrigerant -
R134a (HFC134a). This substance will not deplete the ozone layer. The system contains 1.5 lbs (700 g) R134a and
uses PAG oil.
Climate system blower
The climate system blower will be automatically switched off when the engine is not running (even if the ignition key
is in position I or II) to avoid unnecessary battery drain. To activate the blower, turn the control to the desired setting.
Passenger compartment blower
Approximately 50 minutes after the ignition is turned off, the blower may come on automatically, and run for seven
minutes, to remove condensation in the A/C evaporator.
