twice.
2. Turn the thumb wheel to begin display-
ing the combinations of information head-ings. Stop on the desired combination. 3. See the table for an explanation of the
heading or the actions that can be taken.
Scroll among the combinations of trip com-puter information headings at any time byturning the thumb wheel until the desired
combination is displayed.

Trip computer – Supplementary information
General information for both Analog and Digi- tal trip computer functions.
Average fuel consumptionFuel consumption since the last time thisfunction was reset.
Average speedThe vehicle's average speed since the lasttime this function was reset.
Current fuel consumptionCurrent fuel consumption is calculatedapproximately once a second. When the vehi-cle is moving at low speed, fuel consumptionis displayed per unit of time. At higherspeeds, it is displayed in terms of distance. Miles or kilometers can be displayed, see the heading "Changing units".
Distance to emptyThis function shows the approximate dis-tance that can be driven on the fuel remaining in the tank. When
Distance to empty shows
"----", there is very little useable fuel remain- ing in that tank; refuel as soon as possible.The calculation is based on average fuel con-sumption during the last 20 miles (30 km) ofdriving and the amount of fuel remaining inthe tank (the accuracy of this figure may varyif your driving style changes). An economical driving style will generally increase this dis-tance.
Digital speed display*Speed is expressed in the unit not used bythe instrument panel's speedometer e.g., ifthe normal speedometer is in mph, the tripcomputer will display in the speed in km/hand vice versa.

Trip computer – Trip statistics
Trip information from previous trips regarding average fuel consumption and average speedis stored and can be displayed in the form ofa bar chart.
Function
Trip statistics 23
Each bar represents a driving distance of 1 mile or 10 miles, depending on the currentscale; the bar at the far right shows the valuefor the current mile/10 miles. Use TUNE to change between 1 mile and
10 miles; the marker at the right will also change according to the scale selected.
SettingsSettings can be made in the MY CAR menu
system as follows: •
Start new trip: press
ENTER to erase all
pervious statistics. Exit the menu by pressing EXIT.
•
Reset for every driving cycle: select by
pressing ENTER. Exit the menu by press-
ing EXIT .
Selecting
Reset for every driving cycle era-
ses all trip statistics automatically if the igni- tion is switched off for at least 4 hours. Whenthe engine is restarted, new statistics will bestored. To get new statistics if the engine is restarted before 4 hours have elapsed, the existingones have to be erased manually by selecting
Start new trip.

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.107
Climate – general information
The vehicle is equipped with Electronic Cli- mate Control (ECC) (p. 110) that cools, heatsor dehumidifies the air in the passenger com-partment.
Air conditioning
NOTE
• The air conditioning can be switched off, but to ensure the best possible cli-mate comfort in the passenger com-partment and to prevent the windowsfrom misting, it should always be on.
• In warm weather, a small amount ofwater may accumulate under the carwhen it has been parked. This water iscondensation from the A/C systemand is normal.
Fog on the inside of the windowsThe defroster function (p. 112) should be used to remove fog or mist from the inside ofthe windows. Keeping the windows cleanwith a commercially available window wash-ing spray will also help prevent fogging ormisting.
Temporary shut-off of the air conditioning
The air conditioning (p. 112) is momentarily disengaged during full acceleration or when driving uphill with a trailer. This may result ina temporary increase in cabin temperature.
Ice and snowAlways keep the air intake grille at the base ofthe windshield free of snow.
Climate system maintenanceSpecial tools and equipment are required tomaintain and carry out repairs on the climatesystem. Work of this type should only bedone by a trained and qualified Volvo servicetechnician.
RefrigerantVolvo cares about the environment. The airconditioning system in your car contains aCFC-free refrigerant – R134a. This substancewill not deplete the ozone layer. The air con-ditioning system contains 1.76 lbs (800 g) ofR134a. The systems uses PAG oil.

Climate – sensors
The climate system utilizes a number of sen- sors to help regulate the temperature andhumidity level in the passenger compartment.
Sensor location
• The sunlight sensor is located on the top side of the dashboard.
NOTE
The sunlight sensor monitors which side of the car that is most exposed to sunlight.This can mean that the temperature maydiffer between the right and left-side airvents, even if the temperatures set for bothsides of the passenger compartment arethe same.
•The temperature sensor for the passen- ger compartment is located below the cli-mate control panel.
• The outside (ambient) temperature sensoris located on the door mirror.
• The humidity sensor* is located in theinterior rearview mirror.
NOTE
Do not cover or block the sensors with clothing or other objects.

Air quality
The passenger compartment has been designed to be pleasant and comfortable,even for people with asthma and contactallergies.
Passenger compartment filterReplace the cabin air filter with a new one atthe 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.
NOTE
There are different types of cabin air filters. Ensure that the correct type is installed.
Interior Air Quality System (IAQS)A multifilter helps reduce gases and particles in the incoming air, thereby reducing the lev-els of odors and contaminants entering thevehicle. The air quality sensor detectsincreased levels of contaminants in the out-side air. When the air quality sensor detectscontaminated outside air, the air intake closesand the air inside the passenger compart-ment is recirculated, i.e., no outside air entersthe vehicle. The filter also cleans recirculatedpassenger compartment air.
NOTE
Contact your Volvo retailer for IAQS air fil- ter replacement intervals.
Materials used in the cabinThe materials used in the cabin have been developed to help minimize the amount ofdust and make the cabin easier to keepclean. All floor mats can be easily removedfor cleaning. Use car cleaning products rec-ommended by Volvo. See also the informa-tion in Cleaning the interior (p. 310).

Interior Air Quality System (IAQS)*
The Air Quality System (IAQS) consists of a multifilter and an air quality sensor. The filterhelps remove gases and particles from theincoming air, thereby reducing the amounts ofodors and contaminants entering the vehicle. The air quality (p. 108) sensor detects increased levels of contaminants in the out-side air. When the air quality sensor detectscontaminated outside air, the air intake closesand the air inside the passenger compart-ment is recirculated, i.e., no outside air entersthe vehicle. The filter also cleans recirculatedpassenger compartment air. When theAUTO
(p. 112) button is depressed the air
quality sensor is always engaged. Activate or deactivate this function in
Climate
settings
Interior air quality system.
NOTE
• The air quality sensor should always be engaged in order to obtain the bestair in the passenger compartment.
• Recirculation is limited in cold weatherto avoid fogging.
• If the insides of the windows start fog-ging, disengage the air quality sensor.Use the defroster function to increaseairflow to the front, side, and rear win-dows.
