Air quality
The materials used in the passenger compart- ment and air filtering system have been selectedto ensure a high level of air quality in the passen-ger compartment.
Materials used in the passenger compartment
The materials in the passenger compartment are designed to be pleasant and comfortable, evenfor people with asthma or allergies. The materials have been developed and tested to minimize dust in the passenger compartment and make it easier to keep clean. The mats in both the passenger compartment and cargo compartment can be easily removedfor cleaning. Use Volvo-recommended cleaning agents and car care products to clean the interior.
Air filtering systemsIn addition to the passenger compartment filter, the Clean Zone Interior Package * and Interior Air
Quality System * also help maintain high air qual-
ity in the passenger compartment.

Clean Zone Interior Package
*
Clean Zone Interior Package (CZIP) is a series of modifications that filters even more allergy andasthma-inducing substances from the passengercompartment.
CZIP includes the following:
• An enhanced function that starts the blower when the vehicle is unlocked using theremote key. The blower will then fill the pas-senger compartment with fresh air. The func-tion starts when required and switches offautomatically after a period of time or whenone of the passenger compartment doors isopened. The amount of time the blower runsgradually decreases due to reduced need upuntil the vehicle is 4 years old.
• The fully automatic Interior Air QualitySystem (IAQS).

Interior Air Quality System
*
Interior Air Quality System (IAQS) is a fully auto- matic air quality system that removes gases andparticles to reduce odors and contaminants inthe passenger compartment.
IAQS is part of the Clean Zone Interior Package (CZIP) and removes air contaminants such asparticles, hydrocarbons, nitric oxides and ground-level ozone. If the system's air quality sensors detect contami- nants in the outside air, the air intake closes andair recirculation is activated.
NOTE
To ensure optimal air quality in the passenger compartment, the air quality sensor shouldalways be engaged. Recirculation is limited in cold weather to pre- vent fogging. In the event of fogging, use the defroster functions for the windshield, side windowsand rear window.
