severely contaminated environment, it may be
necessary to replace the filter more often.
NOTE
There are different types of passenger com-
partment filter. Make sure that the correct
filter is fitted.
Clean Zone Interior Package (CZIP)*This option keeps the passenger compartment
clear of allergy and asthma inducing sub-
stances. For more information on CZIP, see the
brochure included with the purchase of the car.
The following is included:
•An enhanced fan function that means that
the fan starts when the car is opened with
the remote control key. The fan fills the
passenger compartment with fresh air. The
function starts when required and is dis-
engaged automatically after a time or when
one of the passenger compartment doors
is opened. The amount of time the fan runs
is reduced gradually due to reduced need
up until the car is 4 years old.
•The air quality system IAQS is a fully auto-
matic system that cleans the air in the pas-
senger compartment from contaminants
such as particles, hydrocarbons, nitrous
oxides and ground-level ozone.
NOTE
To keep the CZIP standard in cars with CZIP
the IAQS filter must be changed after
15 000 km or once per year depending on
whichever occurs first. However, up to
75 000 km over 5 years. In cars without CZIP
and where the customer does not want to
keep the CZIP standard the IAQS filter must
be changed at a regular service.
Use of tested materials in the interior
equipment.
The materials have been developed in order to
minimise the quantity of dust in the passenger
compartment and they contribute to making
the passenger compartment easier to keep
clean. The carpets in both the passenger com-
partment and the cargo area are removable
and easy to remove and clean. Use cleaning
agents and car care products recommended
by Volvo, see page 363.
Menu settingsIt is possible to activate/deactivate or change
the default settings for four of the climate con-
trol system's functions via the centre console.

tion, see page 203:

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

Recirculation timer. For a description of the
menu system, see page 203.
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.

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.
