Mirror memory function (with the central locking system)-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 th\
e 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

these windows have this coating. The optional laminated side windows alw\
ays have this coating.
The coating improves vision by causing the water to run off quickly.
See
page 175 for information on cleaning this type of glass.
CAUTION!
- Use the heating function to remove ice, snow, or mist from the mirrors\
.
- Use only suitable plastic scrapers to remove ice or snow from the wind\
ows. Using a metal ice
scraper could damage the water repellent coating.

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 f\
ilter cannot be 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 p\
assenger compartment. When the engine
is running, close the windows and moonroof and use the recirculation fun\
ction 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 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).
Acceleration
The air conditioning is momentarily disengaged during full-throttle acce\
leration.
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 techni\
cian.
Refrigerant
Volvo cares about the environment. The air conditioning system in your v\
ehicle contains a CFC-free refrigerant -
R134a (HFC134a). This substance will not deplete the ozone layer. The \
approximate amount of R134a contained
in the system is a follows:
6-cylinder engine
Single A/C system: 1.4 lbs (620 g)
Dual
1 A/C system: 2.2 lbs (1000 g)
8-cylinder engine
Single A/C system: 1.5 lbs (700 g)
Dual
1 A/C system: 2.3 lbs (1050 g)
The system also uses PAG oil.
Climate system blower
The climate system blower will be automatically switched off when the en\
gine is not running (even if the ignition
key is in position I or II) to avoid unnecessary battery drain. To acti\
vate the blower, turn the control to the desired
setting.
Passenger compartment blower
Approximately 50 minutes after the ignition is turned off, the blower ma\
y come on automatically, and run for
seven minutes, to remove condensation in the A/C evaporator.

Blower function to reduce battery drain
The climate system's blower functions normally while the engine is runni\
ng.
However, when the engine is switched off (even if the ignition is switc\
hed to positions I or II), the blower control

will be automatically switched off to avoid unnecessary battery drain.
The following points pertain if the ignition is on but the engine in not\
running:
l To restart the blower, turn the control knob to the setting of your choi\
ce.
l After approximately 2 minutes, the blower speed will be reduced to avoid\
battery drain.
You can reset the blower speed at any time. Please be aware that the sys\
tem has been designed to reduce the
blower's speed again after 2 minutes, until the engine is started.
If the battery becomes drained:
l LOW BATTERY, FAN IS REDUCED will be displayed in the text window in the \
instrument panel.
l The yellow warning light in the instrument panel (see page 47) will also light up.
