These 12 volt sockets can be used to plug in certain accessories such as cellular tele-phones, etc. The ignition key must be in at least position I
for the sockets in the front seat and the optional socket at the rear of the center con-sole to function. The maximum current consumption is 10A (120W) if only one of the 12-volt sockets inthe passenger compartment is in use. If boththe front and rear sockets are used at thesame time, the maximum current consump-tion per socket is 7.5A (90W). 12-volt socket in the cargo compartment Fold down the lid to use the socket. This socket can be used even if the ignition isswitched off.NOTE

Tilt positionOpen: With the moonroof closed, push up the
rear edge of the switch (position 5 in the illus- tration in the center column). Close: Pull down and hold the rear edge of
the switch (position 6 in the illustration in the center column) until the moonroof has closedcompletely.
Sliding moonroofManual open: Pull the switch rearward to
position 3 and hold it until the moonroof hasopened to the position of your choice. Auto open:
Pull the switch as far back as
possible (position 4) and release it to auto-matically slide open the moonroof to the "comfort" 1
position. Pull the switch rearward
again to open the moonroof completely. Manual close: Push the switch to position 2
and hold it until the moonroof has closed completely or to the position of your choice. Auto close: Push the switch forward as far as

Condensation on the inside of the windows
Keeping the insides of the windows clean will help reduce the amount of condensation thatforms on the windows. Use a commercialwindow cleaning agent to clean the windows.
Ice and snow
Always keep the air intake grille at the base of the windshield free of snow.
Cabin air filter
Replace the cabin air filter with a new one at the recommended intervals. Please refer toyour Warranty and Service Records Informa-tion booklet, or consult a trained and qualifiedVolvo service technician for these intervals.The filter should be replaced more often whendriving under dirty and dusty conditions. Thefilter cannot be cleaned and therefore shouldalways be replaced with a new one.
Sensors
The sunlight sensor on the dashboard and passenger compartment temperature sensorin the ECC control panel should not be cov-ered in any way as this could cause incorrectinformation to be sent to the ECC system.
Parking the vehicle in warm weather
If your vehicle has been parked in the sun in warm weather, opening the windows andmoonroof* for several minutes before drivingwill help release the warm air from the pas-senger compartment. When the engine is run-ning, close the windows and moonroof anduse the recirculation function for severalminutes to enable the air conditioning to coolthe compartment as quickly as possible.
Windows and optional moonroof
The ECC system will function best if the win- dows and optional moonroof are closed. Ifyou drive with the moonroof open, we recom-mend that you manually adjust the tempera-ture and blower control (the LED in the AUTO
switch should be off).
Acceleration
The air conditioning is momentarily disen- gaged during full-throttle acceleration.
Climate control maintenance
Special tools and equipment are required to maintain and carry out repairs on the climatesystem. Work of this type should only bedone by a trained and qualified Volvo servicetechnician.
Refrigerant
Volvo cares about the environment. The air conditioning system in your vehicle containsa CFC-free refrigerant – R134a (HFC134a).This substance will not deplete the ozonelayer. The approximate amount of R134acontained in the system is a follows: 6-cylinder engine Single A/C system: 1.5 lbs (700 g) Dual 1
A/C system: 2.2 lbs (1000 g)
The system also uses PAG oil.

Climate system blower
The climate system blower will be automati- cally switched off when the engine is not run-ning (even if the ignition key is in position I or
II ) to avoid unnecessary battery drain. To
activate the blower, turn the control to thedesired setting. The climate system blower may start auto- matically during a period of up to approxi-mately 50 minutes after the ignition has beenturned off to remove condensation in the A/Cevaporator. It will run for 15 minutes andswitch off automatically.
Passenger compartment blower
Approximately 50 minutes after the ignition is turned off, the blower may come on automati-cally, and run for seven minutes, to removecondensation in the A/C evaporator.
Blower function to reduce battery drain
The climate system's blower functions nor- mally while the engine is running. However, when the engine is switched off (even if the ignition is switched to positions I
or II), the blower control will be automatically
switched off to avoid unnecessary batterydrain. The following points pertain if the ignition ison but the engine in not running:
• To restart the blower, turn the control knob to the setting of your choice.
• After approximately 2 minutes, the blowerspeed will be reduced to avoid batterydrain.
You can reset the blower speed at any time. Please be aware that the system has beendesigned to reduce the blower's speed againafter 2 minutes, until the engine is started. If the battery becomes drained: • LOW BATTERY, FAN IS REDUCED
will
be displayed in the text window in the instrument panel.
• The yellow warning light in the instrumentpanel (see page 58) will also light up.
