General

Climate control

The car is equipped with electronic climate

control. The climate control system cools or

heats as well as dehumidifies the air in the pas-

senger compartment.

NOTE

The air conditioning system (AC) can be

switched off, but to ensure the best possible

climate comfort in the passenger compart-

ment and to prevent the windows from mist-

ing, it should always be on.

Actual temperature

The temperature you select corresponds to the

physical experience with reference to factors

such as air speed, humidity and solar radiation

etc. in and around the car.

The system includes a sun sensor

which

detects on which side the sun is shining into

the passenger compartment. This means that

the temperature can differ between the right

and left-hand air vents despite the controls

being set for the same temperature on both

sides.

Sensor location

•

The sun sensor

is located on the top side

of the dashboard.

•

The temperature sensor for the passenger

compartment is located below the climate

control panel.

•

The outside temperature sensor is located

on the door mirror.

•

The humidity sensor* is located by the inte-

rior rearview mirror.

NOTE

Do not cover or block the sensors with

clothing or other objects.

Side windows and sunroof*

To ensure that the air conditioning works opti-

mally, the side windows, and sunroof* if speci-

fied, should be closed.

Misting windows

Remove misting on the insides of the windows

by primarily using the defroster function.

To reduce the risk of misting, keep the win-

dows clean and use window cleaner.

Vents in the parcel shelf

NOTE

To avoid misting, do not block the vents fur-

thest back on the parcel shelf with clothing

or other objects.

Temporary shut-off of the air

conditioning

When the engine requires full power, e.g. for full

acceleration or driving uphill with a trailer, the

air conditioning can be temporarily switched

off. There may then be a temporary increase in

temperature in the passenger compartment.

Condensation

In warm weather, condensation from the air

conditioning may drip under the car. This is

normal.

Ice and snow

Remove ice and snow from the climate control

system air intake (the grille between the bonnet

and the windscreen).

Fault tracing and repair

Engage a workshop that has authorisation for

the fault tracing and repair of the climate con-

trol system. Volvo recommends that you con-

tact an authorised Volvo workshop.

Only applies to ECC.
