Climate control 
05
210* 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 which
detects on which side the sun is shining into
the passenger compartment. This means
1 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 sensor 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).
Total airing functionThe function opens/closes all side windows
simultaneously and can be used for example to
quickly air the car during hot weather, see
page 58.
Passenger compartment filterAll air entering the car's passenger compart-
ment is cleaned with a filter. This must be
replaced at regular intervals. Follow the Volvo
Service Programme for the recommended
replacement intervals. If the car is used in a

settingsInterior air quality system. For a
description of the menu system, see
page 203.
NOTE
The air quality sensor should always be
engaged in order to obtain the best air in the
passenger compartment.
Recirculation is limited in cold weather to
avoid misting.
If the insides of the windows start misting
up, disengage the air quality sensor, and the
defroster functions for the windscreen, the
side and the rear windows should also be
used to demist the windows.
Cars with Eco Start/Stop DRIVe*With an auto-stopped engine certain equip-
ment has its function temporarily reduced, e.g.
climate control fan speed. For more informa-
tion, see page 127.

Fuel-driven engine block heater and passenger compartment heater* 
05
220* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Fuel-driven heater
General information about the parking
heater
The parking heater heats the engine and pas-
senger compartment and can be started
directly or with the timer.
Two different times can be selected using the
timer. Here, time refers to the time when the car
is heated and ready. The car's electronic sys-
tem calculates when heating should be started
based on the outside temperature.
The heater cannot start if the outside tempera-
ture exceeds 15 °C. At  –5 °C or lower the
maximum running time of the parking heater is
50 minutes.
WARNING
The car must be outdoors when the parking
heater is used.
NOTE
When the parking heater is active there may
be smoke from the right-hand wheel hous-
ing, which is perfectly normal.
Refuelling
Warning label on fuel filler flap.
WARNING
Fuel which spills out can be ignited. Switch
off the fuel-driven heater before starting to
refuel.
Check the information display to see that
the parking heater is switched off. When it
is running, the information display shows
Park heat ON.
Parking on a hillIf the car is parked on a steep hill, the front of
the car should point downhill to ensure that
there is a supply of fuel to the parking heater.
Battery and fuelIf the battery has insufficient charge or the fuel
level is too low, the parking heater will be
switched off automatically and a message
appears on the information display. Acknowl-
edge the message by pressing the indicator
stalk OK button once, see page 221.
IMPORTANT
Repeated use of the parking heater com-
bined with short journeys may discharge the
battery and impair starting.
The car should be driven for the same time
as the heater is used to ensure that the car's
battery is recharged adequately to replace
the energy consumed by the heater when it
is used on a regular basis.
