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 in\
tervals. The filter should be replaced more
often when driving under dirty and dusty conditions. The filter cannot b\
e cleaned and therefore should always be
replaced with a new one.
Sensors
The sunlight sensor on the dashboard and passenger compartment temperatu\
re sensor in the ECC control panel
should not be covered in any way as this could cause incorrect informati\
on 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 se\
veral 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 a\
re 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).

Front/rear park assist (option/accessory)
Front/rear park assist
The park assist system(s) are designed to assist you when driving into\
parking spaces, garages, etc. They
utilize ultrasound sensors located in the bumpers to measure the distanc\
e to a vehicle or other object, or
a person who may be close to the front or rear of the vehicle.
When is park assist active?
Front: the system is active from the time the engine is started until the vehi\
cle exceeds a speed of
approximately 10 mph (15 km/h). It is also active when the vehicle is \
backing up. Front park assist
reactivates automatically when the vehicle's speed goes under 10 mph (1\
5 km/h).
Rear: when the engine is running and reverse gear is selected.
NOTE:
"PARK ASSIST ACTIVE" will be displayed.
l If the vehicle is equipped with front and rear park assist, both systems\
will either be activated or
deactivated together. They cannot be used separately.
l The indicator light in the button (see the illustration on page 52) will light up to indicate that park
assist system(s) are activated.
When park assist is actively working:

l The audio system's volume will be reduced.
l An intermittent signal will be audible from the speakers to indicate tha\
t you are approaching a person,
object, parked vehicle, etc. The signals begin when the distance between\
the bumper and the object is:
Rear: approximately 5 feet (1.5 meters)
Front: approximately 2.5 ft (0.8 meters)
l At a distance of approximately 1 foot (30 cm), the signal will become \
constant. If objects are close to
both the front and rear bumpers, the signal will alternate between the f\
ront and rear speakers.
Deactivating the system(s)
- Press the Park assist button on the center console (see
page 55) to temporarily deactivate the system(s).
- The indicator light in the button will go out when the system(s) hav\
e been deactivated.
- If the vehicle is equipped with front and rear park assist, both syste\
ms will be deactivated by pressing
the button.
Park assist will be automatically reactivated the next time the engine i\
s started.
NOTE: It may be necessary to deactivate one or both of the park assist systems\
in certain cases.
l Rear park assist: towing a trailer, carrying bicycles in a rear-mounted carrier, etc, co\
uld trigger the
rear park assist system's sensors.
l Front park assist: it may not be possible to combine auxiliary headlights and front park \
assist since
these lights could trigger the system's sensors.

Faults in the system
If the yellow warning symbol illuminates and a message is shown in the \
information display, the
system is not functioning properly. Consult a Volvo retailer or authoriz\
ed service technician.
Cleaning the sensors
For the system to function properly, the sensors in the front and/or rea\
r bumpers should be kept clean.
They can be cleaned with car washing detergent and a sponge.
WARNING!
These systems are designed to be a supplementary aid when parking the ve\
hicle. They are not,
however, intended to replace the driver's attention and judgement.
