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.

AUTO
This function automatically regulates the Electronic Climate Control system so that the selected temperatures
are maintained. The blower, heating, air distribution (air flow), air conditioning, and optional air quality sensor
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.
Rear window and sideview mirror defrosters
This function defrosts/ 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 58
for additional information on this function.
Never use ice scrapers made of metal as they can easily scratch the mirror surface.
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 defrosts/ 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 conditioning will switch on (if not already on and if the passenger
compartment blower is not turned off) to dehumidify the air in the passenger compartment.
Recirculation will not function while defrost is engaged.
The climate system will return to its previous settings when the defroster function is switched off.
Blower control
Turn the control clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease the blower speed. Pressing the AUTO switch
will automatically regulate blower speed and override manual adjustment.
Turning the blower control counterclockwise until an orange LED comes on will turn both the blower and the air
conditioning off.

Press AUTO to automatically regulate air flow or press any combination 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.
Heated front seats (option)
- Press the switch once for maximum seat heating. Both LEDs in the switch will be lit.
- Press the switch a second time for comfort heating. One LED in the switch will be lit.
- Press the switch a third time to turn the heating off completely. The LED will go off.
The seat heating for the passenger seat should be switched off when the seat is not occupied.
A/C - 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).
The air conditioning functions only at temperatures above 32 °F (0 °C).
While the Defroster function is selected, the air conditioning is temporarily activated to dehumidify the air, even if
you have manually switched the air conditioning off. This will only function if the blower is not switched off.
Recirculation
Press this switch to engage the recirculation function (air in the passenger compartment recirculates - no fresh air
enters the compartment). The LED in the switch will light up to indicate that the function is engaged.
Use this function if the outside air is contaminated with exhaust gases, smoke, etc or to heat/cool the vehicle
quickly.
Recirculation should not be used for more than 15 minutes. If your windows begin to fog or mist, make sure that the
recirculation function is switched off.
ProCarManuals.com

Selecting Defroster automatically switches recirculation off.
Timer mode activation: (vehicles with the Interior Air Quality system have no timer mode) Press and hold the
recirculation button for at least 3 seconds to activate a recirculation timer mode. The amber LED in the recirculation
button will flash 5 times to show that the timer mode is being activated. In timer mode, each time the recirculation
button is pressed, the climate control system will recirculate the air in the passenger compartment for 5- 12 minutes,
depending on the outside air temperature, and then revert back to fresh air.
Timer mode deactivation: Press and hold the recirculation button for 3 seconds. The amber LED in the recirculation
button will illuminate steadily for 5 seconds to show a return to "normal" mode.
In normal mode, when the recirculation button is pressed, the climate control
pg. 77 Climate
Electronic climate control, ECC
system will recirculate the air in the passenger compartment until the recirculation button is pressed again.
Timer mode memory: If the vehicle is turned off while timer mode is active, timer mode will still be active when
the vehicle is restarted.
Interior air quality sensor (option)
Some vehicles are equipped with a multi-filter and air quality sensor. The filter separates gases and particles, thereby
reducing the amounts of odors and contaminants entering the vehicle. The air quality sensor detects increased levels of
contaminants in the outside air. When the air quality sensor detects contaminated outside air, the air intake closes and
the air inside the passenger compartment is recirculated, i.e. no outside air enters the vehicle. The filter also cleans
recirculated passenger compartment air.
When the ECC system is in the AUTO mode, the green LED will be on
.
Operation
Press
to operate the air quality sensor (normal setting). or: Select one of the following three functions by
pressing
1, 2 or 3 times.
1. The AUT LED lights. The air quality sensor is now activated.
2. No LED lights. Recirculation is not activated unless needed to cool the passenger compartment in a warm climate.
3. The MAN LED lights. Recirculation is now activated.
Keep in mind the following:
Make it a rule to have the air quality sensor activated at all times.
Recirculation is limited in cold climates to avoid fogging.
If window fogging occurs, you should deactivate the air quality sensor.
If fogging occurs, use the defroster functions for the windshield, side windows and rear window. See page 74.
The filter should be changed at the intervals recommended in the service schedule. However, if the vehicle is used
in a severely contaminated environment, it may be necessary to change the filter more frequently.
