General

Air conditioning

The car is equipped with Electronic Climate

Control (ECC). The climate control system

cools or heats as well as dehumidifies the air

in the passenger compartment.

Actual temperature

The temperature you select corresponds to

the physical experience with reference to

factors such as air speed, humidity and solar

radiation in and around the car.

The system includes a sun sensor which

detects the side from which the sun is shin-

ing. This means that the temperature can dif-

fer 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 in the

interior rearview mirror.

Side windows and sunroof

To ensure that the air conditioning works

optimally, the side windows, and sunroof if

appropriate, should be closed.

Misting windows

Remove misting on the insides of the win-

dows by primarily using the defroster func-

tion.

To reduce the risk of misting, clean the win-

dows with a normal window cleaning agent.

Vents in the parcel shelf

Temporary shut-off of the air condi-

tioning

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

full acceleration or driving uphill with a trailer,

the air conditioning could be temporarily

switched off. There may then be a temporary

increase in temperature.

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 con-

trol system air intake (the grille between the

bonnet and the windscreen).

Fault tracing and repair

Entrust fault tracing and repair of the climate

control system to an authorised Volvo work-

shop only.

NOTE

The air conditioning can be switched off,

but to ensure the best possible climate

comfort in the passenger compartment and

to prevent the windows from misting, it

should always be on.

NOTE

Do not cover or block the sensors with

clothing or other objects.

NOTE

To avoid misting, do not block the vents fur-

thest back on the parcel shelf with clothing

or other objects.
