Sensor location
The sunlight sensor is located on the top side of the dashboard.
NOTE
The sunlight sensor monitors which side of the car that is most exposed to sunlight. This can mean that the
temperature may differ between the right and left-side air vents, even if the temperatures set for both sides of the
passenger compartment are the same.
The temperature sensor for the passenger compartment is located below the climate control panel.
The outside temperature sensor is located on the door mirror.
The humidity sensor (option) is located in the interior rearview mirror.
NOTE
Do not cover or block the sensors with clothing or other objects.
Side windows and moonroof
To ensure that the air conditioning works optimally, the side windows, and the optional moonroof should be closed.
Fog on the inside of the windows
The defroster function should be used to remove fog or mist from the inside of the windows. Keeping the windows
clean with a commercially available window washing spray will also help prevent fogging or misting.
Vents in the parcel shelf
NOTE
The air vents at the rear of the parcel shelf should never be obstructed.
Temporary shut-off of the air conditioning
The air conditioning is momentarily disengaged during full-throttle acceleration or when driving uphill with a trailer.
This may result in a temporary increase in cabin temperature.
Ice and snow
Always keep the air intake grille at the base of the windshield free of snow.
Climate system 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 car contains a CFC-free refrigerant - R134a.
This substance

will not deplete the ozone layer. The air conditioning system contains 1.8 lbs (800 g) of R134a. The systems uses PAG

Ventilated front seats (option)
The ventilation system consists of fans in the seats and backrests that draw air through the seat upholstery. The cooling
effect increases as the air in the passenger compartment becomes cooler.
The ventilation is controlled by the ECC system, which takes into account the seat temperature, sunlight in the
passenger compartment, and the ambient temperature.
The ventilation can be used at the same time as seat heating.
The ventilation system can be activated when the engine is running. There are three comfort levels that produce
different cooling and dehumidification effects:
Level three: press the button once for maximum output - three indicator lights come on.
Level two: press the button twice for a lower output - two indicator lights come on.
Level one: press the button three times for the lowest output - one indicator light comes on.
Press the button a fourth time to switch off the function - the indicator light will go out.

Compass
Operation
The upper right corner of the rearview mirror has an integrated display that shows the compass direction in which the
vehicle is pointing. Eight different directions are shown with the abbreviations: N (north), NE (north east), E (east), SE
(southeast), S (south), SW (southwest), W (west) and NW (northwest).
The compass is displayed automatically when the vehicle is started or in ignition mode II . To switch the compass
on/off use a pen or similar object and press in the button on the rear side of the mirror.
Calibration
The compass may need to be calibrated if, for example, the vehicle is driven into a new magnetic zone. The characters
ProCarManuals.com

CAL are shown in the mirror's display if calibration is necessary.
1. Stop the vehicle in a large open area, away from traffic.
2. Start the vehicle.
3. Using a pen or similar object, press and hold the button on the rear side of mirror until CAL is shown again (after
approx. 6 seconds).
4. Drive as usual. CAL disappears from the display when calibration is complete. Alternative calibration method:
Drive slowly in a circle at a speed of no more than 5 mph (8 km/h) until CAL disappears from the display when
calibration is complete.
Selecting a magnetic zone
The earth is divided into 15 magnetic zones. The correct zone must be selected for the compass to work correctly.
1. Put the ignition in mode II .
2. Using a pen or similar object, press and hold the button on the rear side of mirror for at least 3 seconds. The number
for the current area will be shown.
3. Press the button repeatedly until the number for the required geographic area (1-15) is shown.

Stability system
Introduction
The Dynamic Stability and Traction Control system (DSTC) consists of a number of functions designed help reduce
wheel spin, counteract skidding, and to generally help improve directional stability.
CAUTION

BLIS camera
Indicator light
BLIS symbol
The Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) is an information system that indicates the presence of another vehicle
moving in the same direction as your vehicle in the sideview mirror's "blind area."
CAUTION
The BLIS system should only be repaired by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
WARNING
BLIS is an information system, NOT a warning or safety system.
BLIS does not eliminate the need for you to visually confirm the conditions around you, and the need for you to
turn your head and shoulders to make sure that you can safely change lanes.
As the driver, you have full responsibility for changing lanes in a safe manner.
The system is based on digital camera technology. The cameras are located beneath the side-view mirrors.
When one (or both) of the cameras have detected a vehicle in the blind area (up to approximately 10 ft. (3 meters)
from the side of your vehicle, and up to approximately 31 ft. (9.5 meters) behind the side-view mirror), see the
illustration, the indicator light in the door panel illuminates. The light will glow continuously to alert the driver of the
vehicle in the blind area.
NOTE
The door panel indicator light illuminates on the side of the vehicle where the system has detected another vehicle. If
your vehicle is passed on both sides at the same time, both lights will illuminate.
BLIS has an integrated function that alerts the driver if a fault should occur with the system. For example, if one or
both of the system's cameras are obscured, a message (see the table on page 185
) will appear in the information
display in the instrument panel. If this occurs, clean the camera lenses. If necessary, the system can be temporarily
switched off (for instructions, see page 185
).
