System * – introduction
HomeLink ®
can be used to open garage doors,
gates, etc.WARNING
• If you use HomeLink ®
to open a garage
door or gate, be sure no one is near the gate or door while it is in motion.
• When programming a garage dooropener, it is advised to park outside of thegarage.
• Do not use HomeLink ®
with any garage
door opener that lacks safety stop andreverse features as required by U.S. fed-eral safety standards (this includes anygarage door opener model manufacturedbefore April 1, 1982). A garage door thatcannot detect an object - signaling thedoor to stop and reverse - does not meetcurrent U.S. federal safety standards. Formore information, contact HomeLink at:www.homelink.com.
The HomeLink ®

Wireless Control System pro-
vides a convenient way to replace up to three hand-held radio-frequency (RF) transmitters usedto activate devices such as gate operators,garage door openers, entry door locks, securitysystems, even home lighting. Additional informa-tion can be found on the Internet at,www.homelink.com/www.youtube.com/HomeLinkGentex or by phoning the hotline at 1–800–355–3515. Retain the original transmitter of the RF device you are programming for use in other vehicles as well as for future HomeLink programming. It isalso suggested that upon the sale of the vehicle,the programmed HomeLink buttons be erasedfor security purposes. Refer to “Resetting Home- Link Buttons” in HomeLink
®
Wireless Control
System * – programming (p. 112).
Using HomeLinkTo operate, simply press and hold the pro- grammed HomeLink button until the traineddevice begins to operate (this may take severalseconds). Activation will now occur for the traineddevice (i.e., garage door opener, gate operator,security system, entry door lock, home/officelighting, etc.). For convenience, the hand-heldtransmitter of the device may also be used at anytime. In the event that there are still programmingdifficulties or questions, contact HomeLink at:www.homelink.com/www.youtube.com/HomeLinkGentex or by phoning the hotline at 1–800–355–3515.

System * – programming
The HomeLink Wireless Control System pro- vides a convenient way to replace up to threehand-held radio-frequency (RF) transmittersused to activate devices such as gate operators,garage door openers, entry door locks, securitysystems, even home lighting. Additional informa-tion can be found on the Internetatwww.homelink.com/www.youtube.com/HomeLinkGentex or by phoning the hotline at 1–800–355–3515.
NOTE
Some vehicles may require the ignition to be switched on or be in the “accessories” posi-tion for programming and/or operation ofHomeLink. It is also recommended that a newbattery be placed in the hand-held transmitterof the device being programmed to Home-Link for quicker training and accurate trans-mission of the radio-frequency signal. TheHomeLink buttons must be reset first. Whenthis has been completed, Homelink is inlearning mode so that you can perform pro-gramming.
1. Position the end of your hand-held transmit- ter 1–3 inches (5–14 cm) away from the HomeLink button you wish to program whilekeeping the indicator light in view. 2. Simultaneously press and hold both the
chosen HomeLink and hand-held transmitterbuttons until the HomeLink indicator lightchanges from a slow to a rapidly blinkinglight. Now you may release both the Home-Link and hand-held transmitter buttons.
NOTE
Some devices may require you to replace this Programming Step 2 with procedures notedin the “Gate Operator / Canadian Program-ming” section. If the HomeLink indicator lightdoes not change to a rapidly blinking lightafter performing these steps, contact Home-Link at www.homelink.com/www.youtube.com/HomeLinkGentex or byphoning the hotline at 1–800–355–3515.
3. Firmly press, hold for five seconds and
release the programmed HomeLink button
up to two separate times to activate the door. If the door does not activate, press and holdthe just-trained HomeLink button andobserve the indicator light.
• If the indicator light
stays on constantly,
programming is complete and your
device should activate when the Home-Link button is pressed and released.
• If the indicator light blinks
rapidly for two
seconds and then turns to a constantlight continue with “Programming”steps 4-6 to complete the programming
of a rolling code equipped device (mostcommonly a garage door opener).
4. At the garage door opener receiver (motor- head unit) in the garage, locate the “learn” or “smart” button. This can usually be foundwhere the hanging antenna wire is attachedto the motor-head unit.

Climate – general information
The vehicle is equipped with Electronic Climate
Control (ECC) (p. 130) that cools, heats ordehumidifies the air in the passenger compart-ment.
Air conditioning
NOTE
• The air conditioning can be switched off, but to ensure the best possible climatecomfort in the passenger compartmentand to prevent the windows from misting,it should always be on.
• In warm weather, a small amount of watermay accumulate under the car when ithas been parked. This water is condensa-tion from the A/C system and is normal.
Side windows and laminated panoramic roof
To ensure that the air conditioning works opti- mally, the side windows, and the laminated panor-amic roof should be closed.
Fog on the inside of the windowsThe defroster function (p. 133) should be usedto remove fog or mist from the inside of the win-dows. Keeping the windows clean with a com-mercially available window washing spray will alsohelp prevent fogging or misting.
Temporary shut-off of the air conditioning
The air conditioning (p. 133) is momentarily dis- engaged during full acceleration or when drivinguphill with a trailer. This may result in a temporaryincrease 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 climate sys-tem. Work of this type should only be done by atrained and qualified Volvo service technician.
RefrigerantVolvo cares about the environment. The air condi-tioning system in your car contains a CFC-freerefrigerant – R134a. This substance will notdeplete the ozone layer. The air conditioning sys-tem contains 1.76 lbs (800 g) of R134a. Thesystems uses PAG oil.

Climate – sensors
The climate system utilizes a number of sensors to help regulate the temperature and humiditylevel 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. Thiscan mean that the temperature may differbetween the right and left-side air vents, evenif the temperatures set for both sides of thepassenger compartment are the same.
•
The temperature sensor for the passenger compartment is located below the climatecontrol panel.
• The outside (ambient) temperature sensor islocated on the door mirror.
• The humidity sensor
* is located in the interior
rearview mirror.
NOTE
Do not cover or block the sensors with cloth- ing or other objects.
