Air distribution – recirculation Recirculation can be used to shut out exhaust fumes, smoke, etc., from the passenger com-partment.
The air in the passenger com- partment is then recirculated,i.e., no air from outside the caris taken into the car when thisfunction is activated. The indi-cator light in the button will illu-minate when recirculation is
selected. If the air in the car recirculates for too long, there is a risk of condensation forming on the insidesof the windows, especially in winter.
TimerThe timer function minimizes the risk of fogging, or stale air when the recirculation function isselected by automatically switching off the func-tion after a certain length of time, depending onthe ambient temperature. Activate/deactivate the function under
Climate settingsRecirculation timer. See My Car – introduction
(p. 79) for a description of the menu system.
NOTE
When Defroster is selected, recirculation is always deactivated.

Immobilizer (start inhibitor)
The immobilizer is a start inhibitor that helps pre- vent unauthorized persons from starting theengine. Each of the keys supplied with your vehicle con- tains a coded transponder. The code in the keyis transmitted to an antenna in the ignition slotwhere it is compared to the code stored in thestart inhibitor module. The vehicle will start onlywith a properly coded key. If you misplace a key,take the other keys to a trained and qualifiedVolvo service technician for reprogramming asan anti-theft measure.
