System*, there is also an air quality sensor in the
climate system's air intake.

Climate (p. 204)
Interior Air Quality System* (p. 208) Perceived temperature
The climate control system regulates the climate
in the passenger compartment based on per-
ceived temperature, not actual temperature.
The selected passenger compartment tempera-
ture is based on the physical perception of the
current ambient temperature, airflow speed,
humidity, sunlight in the passenger compartment,
etc.
The system has a sunlight sensor that detects
which side of the vehicle the sunlight is shining
on and adjusts the temperature accordingly. This
means that the temperature of the air coming out
of the vents may be different for the left and right
sides, even if the temperature setting is the same
for both sides.

Voice commands can be used for the climate
control system to e.g. change temperature, acti-
vate seat heating* or change blower speed.
Tap and say one of the following commands:
"Climate" - starts a command dialog for cli-
mate controls and provides examples of
commands that can be used.
"Set temperature to X degrees" - sets
desired temperature.
"
Raise temperature"/"Lower
temperature" - raises/lowers the set tem-
perature.
"
Sync temperature" - synchronizes the
temperature for all climate zones in the vehi-
cle with the temperature set for the driver's
side.
"Air on feet"/"Air on body" - opens the
desired air vent.
"
Air on feet off"/"Air on body off" - closes
the desired air vent.
"
Set fan to max"/"Turn off fan" - changes
blower speed to
Max/Off.
"
Raise fan speed"/"Lower fan speed" -
raises/lowers the set blower speed. 1

The materials used in the passenger compart-
ment and air filtering system have been selected
to 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, even
for 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 removed
for 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.

The Clean Zone function monitors the condi-
tions affecting good air quality in the passenger
compartment and indicates whether they are ful-
filled or not. The indicator is shown in the center display's
Climate view.
The indicator is shown in the climate bar
when Climate view is not open.
If the conditions are not met, the text Clean
Zone will be shown in white. When all the condi-
tions are met, the text will change to blue.
Clean Zone monitors whether:
All doors and tailgate are closed.
All side windows and panoramic roof* are
closed.
The Interior Air Quality System* is activated.
The blower is activated.
Air recirculation is deactivated.
NOTE Clean Zone does not indicate that the air
quality is good, but only that the conditions for
good air quality have been met.

208 Clean Zone Interior Package*
Clean Zone Interior Package (CZIP) is a series
of modifications that filters even more allergy and
asthma-inducing substances from the passenger
compartment.
CZIP includes the following:
An enhanced function that starts the blower
when the vehicle is unlocked using the
remote key. The blower will then fill the pas-
senger compartment with fresh air. The func-
tion starts when required and switches off
automatically after a period of time or when
one of the passenger compartment doors is
opened. The amount of time the blower runs
gradually decreases due to reduced need up
until the vehicle is 4 years old.
The fully automatic Interior Air Quality
System (IAQS).

Interior Air Quality System (IAQS) is a fully auto-
matic air quality system that removes gases and
particles to reduce odors and contaminants in
the passenger compartment.
IAQS is part of the Clean Zone Interior Package
(CZIP) and removes air contaminants such as
particles, 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 and
air recirculation is activated.
NOTE To ensure optimal air quality in the passenger
compartment, the air quality sensor should
always 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 windows
and rear window.

Replacing the passenger compartment
filter
To maintain the high performance of the climate
control system, the filter must be replaced regu-
larly. Follow Volvo's service schedule for recom-
mended replacement intervals. When driving in
areas with a lot of smog, dust, etc., the filter may
need to be changed more frequently.
NOTE There are two types of passenger compart-
ment filters. Make sure that the correct filter
is installed.

The climate system distributes incoming air
through a number of vents in the passenger
compartment.
Automatic and manual air distributionWhen the auto-climate feature is on, air distribu-
tion is regulated automatically. Air distribution can
also be controlled manually.
Adjustable air ventsCertain air vents in the vehicle are adjustable,
which means they can be opened/closed and the
direction of the air flow from the vent can be
adjusted. Location of adjustable air vents in the passenger com-
partment.
