92* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Air conditioning – A/C
Your 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 snow
Always keep the air intake grille at the base of
the windshield free of snow.
Fog on the inside of the windows
The 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 misting.
Climate control 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 tech-
nician.
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 system
contains 1.2 lbs (530 g) R134a (HFC 134a), and
uses PAG oil.
Passenger compartment filter
Replace 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.
Display
The display above the climate control panel
shows the climate settings that have been
made.
Personal settings
There 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.

Models equipped with Electronic
Climate Control (ECC)*
Sensors
•The sunlight sensor is on the upper side of
the dashboard.
•The passenger compartment temperature
sensor is located behind the climate sys-
tem control panel.
•The ambient temperature sensor is in the
driver's side door mirror.
•The humidity sensor is in the rearview mir-
ror.
These sensors should never be obstructed.
NOTE
The sunlight sensor monitors the side of the
vehicle from which the sun shines into the
passenger compartment. This means that
the temperature may differ slightly between
the left and right air vents, even if the climate
system temperature is set to be the same
for both sides of the passenger compart-
ment.
Side windows and optional moonroofThe electronic climate control system will func-
tion best if the windows and moonroof are
closed. If you drive with the windows or moon-
roof open, it may be preferable to manually
adjust the temperature and blower control (the
LED in the AUTO switch should be off).
AccelerationThe air conditioning system is temporarily
switched off during full throttle acceleration.

Manual climate system functions
1. BlowerThe 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. RecirculationThis 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 84 for information on set-
ting the recirculation timer. Recirculation is
always disengaged when you select
Defroster (3).
3. DefrosterDirects 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).
4. Airflow controlsPress 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
LED in the selected button
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.
5. A/C – On or OffON: The air conditioning sys-
tem is engaged when the ON
light is lit.
OFF: The system is disen-
gaged when the OFF lights
up.
If Defroster (3) is activated the air conditioning
is always engaged.
6/7. Heated front seats*Maximum heating:
–Press the button once – both LEDs light up.
Reduced heating:
–Press the button a second time – one LED
lights up.
Seat heating off:
–Press the button a third time – no LEDs are
lit.
8. Heated rear window and door mirrorsPress to defrost the rear win-
dow and door mirrors.
The rear window and door
mirrors are defrosted simulta-
neously if the switch is
pressed once. The defrost
function is active if the LED in the switch is illu-
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

2. Blower speedThe blower speed can be
increased or decreased by
turning the knob. The blower
speed is regulated automati-
cally if AUTO is selected. The
previously set blower speed is
disconnected.
NOTE
If the knob is turned counterclockwise and
the blower indication in the display goes
out, the blower and the air conditioning are
switched off. The display shows the blower
symbol and
OFF.
3. RecirculationThis function is used to recir-
culate the air in the passenger
compartment, which means
that when the function is
active, no outside air enters
the compartment. This is par-
ticularly useful in hot or cold
weather to cool or heat the passenger com-
partment faster, or to help shut out exhaust
fumes, etc.
Press the button repeatedly to close out out-
side air (recirculation) or to let outside air flow
into the passenger compartment.
•If the green indicator light to the left is on,
recirculation is on and no outside air flows
into the passenger compartment.
•If the green indicator light to the right is on,
outside air flows into the passenger com-
partment.
While the indicator light on the right side is on,
the ECC system automatically controls the flow
of air into the passenger compartment and the
air intake is opened or closed depending on the
outside temperature, the need to heat or cool
the compartment, etc.
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.
Recirculation timerThe timer function minimizes the risk of fogging
or stale air when the recirculation function is
selected, see page 84 for information on set-
ting the recirculation timer.
NOTE
If the defroster function is switched on (by
pressing button 4), recirculation is always
disengaged.
Interior Air Quality System (IAQS)*This system consists of a mul-
tifilter that helps reduce gases
and particles in the incoming
air and an air quality sensor
that detects increased levels
of contaminants in the outside
air. When the air quality sen-
sor detects contaminated outside air, the air
intake closes and the air inside the passenger
compartment is recirculated. The filter also
cleans recirculated passenger compartment
air.
When IAQS is engaged, the green indicator
light above A is illuminated.
To activate IAQS:
–
Press AUTO (1).
Or:
Toggle between the system's three modes by
pressing the button the recirculation button
repeatedly.
•The green indicator light above A is on:
IAQS is engaged. Outside air flows into the
passenger compartment and is filtered.
While this light is on, the ECC system auto-
matically controls the flow of air into the
passenger compartment and the air intake
is opened or closed depending on the out-
side temperature, the need to heat or cool
