148* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
General
Climate controlThe car is equipped with electronic climate
control. The climate control system cools or
heats as well as dehumidifies the air in the pas-
senger compartment.
NOTE
The air conditioning system (AC) can be
switched off, but to ensure the best possible
climate comfort in the passenger compart-
ment and to prevent the windows from mist-
ing, it should always be on.
Actual temperatureThe temperature you select corresponds to the
physical experience with reference to factors
such as air speed, humidity and solar radiation
etc. in and around the car.
The system includes a sun sensor
1 which
detects on which side the sun is shining into
the passenger compartment. This means that
the temperature can differ between the right
and left-hand air vents despite the controls
being set for the same temperature on both
sides.
Sensor location
•The sun sensor1 is located on the top side
of the dashboard.
•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* is located by the inte-
rior rearview mirror.
NOTE
Do not cover or block the sensors with
clothing or other objects.
Side windows and sunroof*To ensure that the air conditioning works opti-
mally, the side windows, and sunroof* if speci-
fied, should be closed.
Misting windowsRemove misting on the insides of the windows
by primarily using the defroster function.
To reduce the risk of misting, keep the win-
dows clean and use window cleaner.
Temporary shut-off of the air
conditioning
When the engine requires full power, e.g. for full
acceleration or driving uphill with a trailer, the
air conditioning can be temporarily switched
off. There may then be a temporary increase in
temperature in the passenger compartment.
CondensationIn warm weather, condensation from the air
conditioning may drip under the car. This is
normal.
Ice and snowRemove ice and snow from the climate control
system air intake (the grille between the bonnet
and the windscreen).
Fault tracing and repairEngage a workshop that has authorisation for
the fault tracing and repair of the climate con-
trol system. Volvo recommends that you con-
tact an authorised Volvo workshop.
RefrigerantThe air conditioning system contains a refrig-
erant. This refrigerant contains no chlorine,
which means that it is harmless to the ozone
layer. Engage a workshop that has authorisa-
tion for filling/changing refrigerant to carry out

NOTE
Heating or cooling cannot be hastened by
selecting a higher/lower temperature than
the actual temperature required.
AC – Air conditioning on/offWhen the lamp in the AC but-
ton illuminates, the air condi-
tioning is controlled by the
system's automatic function.
This way, incoming air is
cooled and dehumidified.
When the lamp in the AC button is switched off
the air conditioning is disconnected. Other
functions are still controlled automatically.
When the max. defroster function is activated
the air conditioning is switched on automati-
cally, so that the air is dehumidified at the maxi-
mum setting.
Max. defrosterUsed to quickly remove mist-
ing and ice from the wind-
screen and side windows. Air
flowing to the windows. The
light in the defroster button
illuminates when the function
is active.
The following also takes place in order to pro-
vide maximum dehumidification in the passen-
ger compartment:
•the air conditioning is automatically
engaged
•recirculation and the air quality system are
automatically disengaged.
NOTE
The noise level increases as the fan is oper-
ating at max.
When the defroster is switched off the climate
control returns to the previous settings.
Recirculation
Recirculation
When recirculation is
engaged the orange lamp in
the button illuminates. The
function is selected to shut
out bad air, exhaust gases
etc. from the passenger com-
partment. The air in the pas-
senger compartment is recirculated, i.e. no
outside air is taken into the car when this func-
tion is activated.
IMPORTANT
If the air in the car recirculates for too long,
there is a risk of misting on the insides of the
windows.
TimerWith the timer function activated the system
will exit manually activated recirculation mode
according to a time that depends on the out-
side temperature. This reduces the risk of ice,
misting and bad air. Activate/deactivate the
function in the menu system MY CAR under
Settings
Climate settings
Recirculation timer. For a description of the
menu system, see page 142.
NOTE
When max. defroster is selected, recircula-
tion is always deactivated.
Air quality system IAQS*The air quality system separates gases and
particles to reduce the levels of odours and
pollution in the passenger compartment. If the
outside air is contaminated then the air intake
is closed and the air is recirculated.
