tioning system contains 1.8 lbs (800 g) of
R134a. The systems uses PAG oil.Passenger compartment filterReplace the cabin air filter with a new one at
the recommended intervals. Please refer to
your Warranty and Service Records Informa-
tion booklet, or consult a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician for these intervals.
The filter should be replaced more often when
driving under dirty and dusty conditions. The
filter cannot be cleaned and therefore should
always be replaced with a new one.
NOTE
There are different types of cabin air filters.
Ensure that the correct type is installed.Interior Air Quality System (IAQS)A multifilter helps reduce gases and particles
in the incoming air, thereby reducing the levels
of odors and contaminants entering the vehi-
cle. The air quality sensor detects increased
levels of contaminants in the outside air. When
the air quality sensor detects contaminated
outside air, the air intake closes and the air
inside the passenger compartment is recircu-
lated, i.e. no outside air enters the vehicle. The
filter also cleans recirculated passenger com-
partment air.
NOTE
Contact your Volvo retailer for IAQS air filter
replacement intervals.Menu settingsThe default settings for three of the climate
system's functions can be changed in the
menu system, see page 120:•

The functions can also be returned to factory
settings in the menu system.
Air distribution
G021366
The incoming air is distributed from 20 different
vents in the passenger compartment.
Air distribution is fully automatic in AUTO
mode.
If desired, air distribution can be controlled
manually, see page 130.

The function automatically
regulates cooling, heating,
blower speed, recirculation,
and air distribution to main-
tain the chosen temperature.
If you select one or more man-
ual functions, the other func-
tions continue to be controlled automatically.
The air quality sensor is engaged and all man-

Selecting the lowest blower speed may
increases the risk of fog forming on the win-
dows.For a description of the menu system, see
page 120.
Temperature control
The temperatures on the
driver and passenger sides
can be set independently.
When the vehicle is started,
the most recent setting is
resumed.
NOTE
Heating or cooling cannot be speeded up by
selecting a higher/lower temperature than
the actual temperature required.A/C – ON/OFF
The air conditioning is con-
trolled automatically by the
system when the ON light is
on. This cools/heats and
dehumidifies the incoming air.
When the OFF light is on, the
air conditioning is always dis-
engaged. Other functions are still controlled
automatically. When defroster is selected, the
air conditioning system is set for maximum
blower speed and dehumidification.
Defroster
This function defrosts/de-ices
the windshield and front side
windows. The indicator light
in the defroster button lights
when the function is active.
•
Blower speed increases automatically and
the air conditioning will switch on (if not
already on and if the passenger compart-
ment blower is not turned off) to dehumid-
ify the air in the passenger compartment.
Air conditioning can be switched off by
pressing the AC button.
•
Recirculation will not function while defrost
is engaged.
The climate system will return to its previous
settings when the defroster function is
switched off.

Recirculation/air quality system
Recirculation
This function can be used to
shut out exhaust fumes,
smoke, etc from the passen-
ger compartment. The air in
the passenger compartment
is then recirculated, i.e., no air
from outside the car is taken
into the car when this function is activated. The
indicator light in the button will illuminate when
recirculation is selected.
If the air in the car recirculates for too long,
there is a risk of condensation forming on the
insides of the windows, especially in winter.
TimerThe timer function minimizes the risk of fog-
ging, or stale air when the recirculation function
is selected by automatically switching off the
function after a certain length of time, depend-
ing on the ambient temperature. Activate/
deactivate the function under Climate control
settings
Recirculation timer. For a
description of the menu system, see
page 120.
NOTE
When Defroster is selected, recirculation is
always deactivated.Interior Air Quality System–IAQS (option)
This system consists of a mul-
tifilter and an air quality sen-
sor. The filter helps remove
gases and particles from the
incoming air, thereby reduc-
ing the amounts of odors and
contaminants entering the
vehicle. The air quality sensor detects
increased levels of contaminants in the outside
air. When the air quality sensor detects conta-
minated outside air, the air intake closes and
the air inside the passenger compartment is
recirculated, i.e., no outside air enters the vehi-
cle. The filter also cleans recirculated passen-
ger compartment air. When the AUTO button
is depressed the air quality sensor is always
engaged.
Activating the air quality sensor
Switch between the three
functions by pressing the but-
ton repeatedly.
•
The left orange light comes on – the air
quality sensor is disengaged.
•
The center green light comes on – recircu-
lation not engaged, providing it is not
required for cooling in hot weather.
•
The right orange light comes on – recircu-
lation is engaged.NOTE
•
The air quality sensor should always be
engaged in order to obtain the best air
in the passenger compartment.
•
Recirculation is limited in cold weather
to avoid fogging.
•
If the insides of the windows start fog-
ging, disengage the air quality sensor.
Use the defroster function to increase
airflow to the front, side, and rear win-
dows.
