Climate control sensors
The climate system has a number of sensors to help regulate the climate settings in thevehicle.
Location of the sensors
Sunlight sensors - on the upper side of the dashboard.
Humidity sensor - in the rearview mirror console.
Ambient temperature sensor - in the right- side door mirror.
Passenger compartment temperature sen- sor - near the buttons in the center con-sole.
NOTE
Do not cover or block the sensors with clothing or other objects.
On vehicles equipped with the Interior Air Quality System *, there is also an air quality
sensor in the climate system's air intake.

Perceived temperature
The climate control system regulates the cli- mate in the passenger compartment basedon perceived temperature, not actual tem-perature.
The selected passenger compartment tem- perature is based on the physical perception ofthe current ambient temperature, airflowspeed, humidity, sunlight in the passengercompartment, etc. The system has a sunlight sensor that detects which side of the vehicle the sunlight is shin-ing on and adjusts the temperature accord-ingly. This means that the temperature of theair coming out of the vents may be differentfor the left and right sides, even if the tem-perature setting is the same for both sides.

Air quality The materials used in the passenger compart- ment and air filtering system have beenselected to ensure a high level of air quality inthe passenger 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 reduce dust in the passenger compartmentand make it easier to keep clean. The mats in both the passenger compartment and trunk 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 airfilter, the vehicle is also equipped with otherair cleaning systems that help you maintainhigh air quality in the passenger compartment.

The climate system distributes incoming air through a number of vents in the passengercompartment.
Automatic and manual air distributionWhen the auto-climate feature is on, air distri- bution is regulated automatically. Air distribu-tion can also be controlled manually.
Adjustable air ventsCertain air vents in the vehicle are adjustable,which means they can be opened/closed andthe direction of the air flow from the vent canbe adjusted.
Location of adjustable air vents in the passenger compartment.
Four vents on the dashboard, two on the rear side of the tunnel console and one oneach side of the pillars between the frontand rear doors.

Opening, closing and directing air ventsSome of the air vents in the passenger com- partment can be individually opened, closedand directed.
Misting can be eliminated by directing the outer air vents towards the door windows. Direct the outer air vents into the passenger compartment to maintain a comfortable tem-perature in warm weather.
Opening and closing the air ventsAir vents on the dashboard:
–Turn the knob in the center of the air vent to open/close airflow from the vent. When the mark on the knob is vertical, the airflow is strongest.
Air vents on the door pillars and rear side ofthe tunnel console:
–Turn the thumb wheel under the air vent to open/close the airflow from the vent. The more white lines that are visible, the stronger the airflow.
Directing air flow–Move the lever in the center of the air vent horizontally or vertically to direct the air-flow from the vent.
