03 ClimateGeneral information

Air conditioning – A/CYour car is equipped with a climate control
system that includes either manually adjusta-
ble air conditioning or optional Electronic Cli-
mate Control (ECC).
The air conditioning system can be switched
off, but for optimal air quality in the passenger
compartment and to prevent the windows from
fogging, the air conditioning should be left on
– even in cool weather.
NOTE
In warm weather, a small amount of water
may accumulate under the car when it has
been parked. This water is condensation
from the A/C system and is normal.Ice and snowAlways keep the air intake grille at the base of
the windshield free of snow.
Fog on the inside of the windowsThe defroster function should be used to
remove fog or mist from the inside of the win-
dows. Keeping the windows clean with a com-
mercially available window washing spray will
also help prevent fogging or mistingClimate control maintenanceSpecial 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 tech-
nician.RefrigerantVolvo 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 system
contains 1.2 lbs (530 g) R134a (HFC 134a), and
uses PAG oil.
Passenger compartment filterReplace the cabin air filter with a new one at
the recommended intervals. Please refer to
your Warranty and Service Records Informa-
tion booklet, or consult a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician 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.
NOTE
There are different types of cabin air filters.
Ensure that the correct type is installed.DisplayThe display above the climate control panel
shows the climate settings that have been
made.Personal settingsThere are two functions in the climate system
that can be set to your preferences:•
Blower speed to Auto mode (models with
ECC only).
•
Timer controlled recirculation of the air in
the passenger compartment.

Manual climate system functions1. Blower
The blower speed can be
increased or decreased by
turning the knob. If the knob is
turned counterclockwise and
the indicator light in the dis-
play goes out, the blower and
the air conditioning are
switched off. The display shows the blower
symbol and
OFF.
2. Recirculation
This function can be used to
shut out exhaust fumes,
smoke, etc from the passen-
ger compartment. The air in
the passenger compartment
is then recirculated, i.e. no air
from outside the car is taken
into the car when this function is activated.
Recirculation (together with the air condition-
ing system) cools the passenger compartment
more quickly in very warm weather. If the air in
the car recirculates for too long, there is a risk
of condensation forming on the insides of the
windows, especially in winter.

TimerThe timer function minimizes the risk of mist-
ing, or stale air when the recirculation function
is selected, see page 83 for information on set-
ting the recirculation timer. Recirculation is
always disengaged when you select Defroster
(3).3. Defroster
Directs airflow to the wind-
shield and side windows and
increases blower speed.
When the defroster is activated:•
Air flows to the windows at high blower
speed.
•
The LED in the defroster button lights up
when this function is activated. The air con-
ditioning system is controlled to provide
maximum air dehumidification.
•
The air conditioning is automatically
switched on (can be switched off by press-
ing button 5).

Press one of the three buttons
in the illustration to activate
the selected airflow. A symbol
in the display above the cli-
mate control panel and a lit

indicate that the manual func-
tion has been selected. With manually selected
airflow both warm and cool air can be selected.
The desired temperature is selected using con-
trol 9.

minated.
•
The function can be switched off manually
by pressing the button,
•
The defrost function switches off automat-
ically after 12–20 minutes, depending on
the outside temperature.NOTE
On certain markets, the defrost function
may remain on longer than 20 minutes in
cold weather to help keep the rear window
free from ice or condensation.

possession, the driver's seat will automat-
ically move to the position that it was in
when the door was most recently locked.
NOTE
If several people carrying keyless drive
remote controls approach the vehicle at the
same time, the driver's seat will assume the
position it was in for the person who opens
a door first.Keyless drive information messagesIf anyone leaves the vehicle with the only key-
less drive remote control in his or her posses-
sion while the ignition is switched on, a
