Climate control
04
148* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
General
Climate controlThe 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 temperatureThe 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
1 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 sensor1 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 windowsRemove 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.
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.
CondensationIn warm weather, condensation from the air
conditioning may drip under the car. This is
normal.
Ice and snowRemove ice and snow from the climate control
system air intake (the grille between the bonnet
and the windscreen).
Fault tracing and repairEngage 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.
RefrigerantThe air conditioning system contains a refrig-
erant. This refrigerant contains no chlorine,
which means that it is harmless to the ozone
layer. Engage a workshop that has authorisa-
tion for filling/changing refrigerant to carry out
1Only applies to ECC.

Fuel-driven engine block heater and passenger compartment heater*
04
158* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Fuel-driven heater
General information about the parking
heater
The parking heater heats the engine and pas-
senger compartment and can be started
directly or with the timer.
Two different times can be selected using the
timer. Here, time refers to the time when the car
is heated and ready. The car's electronic sys-
tem calculates when heating should be started
based on the outside temperature.
The heater cannot start if the outside tempera-
ture exceeds 15 °C. At –5 °C or lower the
maximum running time of the parking heater is
50 minutes.
WARNING
The car must be outdoors when the parking
heater is used.
NOTE
When the parking heater is active there may
be smoke from the right-hand wheel hous-
ing, which is perfectly normal.
Refuelling
Warning label on fuel filler flap.
WARNING
Fuel which spills out can be ignited. Switch
off the fuel-driven heater before starting to
refuel.
Check the information display to see that
the parking heater is switched off. When it
is running, the information display shows
Park heat ON.
Parking on a hillIf the car is parked on a steep hill, the front of
the car should point downhill to ensure that
there is a supply of fuel to the parking heater.
Battery and fuelIf the battery has insufficient charge or the fuel
level is too low, the parking heater will be
switched off automatically and a message
appears on the information display. Acknowl-
edge the message by pressing the indicator
stalk READ button once, see page 159.
IMPORTANT
Repeated use of the parking heater com-
bined with short journeys may discharge the
battery and impair starting.
The car should be driven for the same time
as the heater is used to ensure that the car's
battery is recharged adequately to replace
the energy consumed by the heater when it
is used on a regular basis.

DSTC – Stability and traction control system
04
164* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
General information on DSTC
The stability and traction control system, DSTC
(Dynamic Stability and Traction Control) helps
the driver to avoid skidding and improves the
car's traction.
The activation of the system during braking
may be noticed as a throbbing sound. The car
may accelerate slower than expected when the
accelerator pedal is depressed.
Active Yaw ControlThe function limits the driving and brake force
of the wheels individually in order to stabilise
the car.
Spin ControlThe function prevents the driving wheels from
spinning against the road surface during accel-
eration.
Traction control systemThe function is active at low speed and trans-
fers power from the driving wheel that is spin-
ning to the one that is not.
Engine drag control - EDCEDC (Engine Drag Control) prevents involun-
tary wheel locking, e.g. after shifting down or
engine braking when driving in low gears on
slippery road surfaces.Involuntary wheel locking while driving can,
amongst other things, impair the driver's ability
to steer the car.
Corner Traction Control – CTCCTC compensates for understeer and allows
higher than normal acceleration in a bend with-
out wheelspin on the inner wheel, e.g. on an
arcing motorway entrance road to quickly
reach the prevailing traffic speed.
Trailer Stability Assist* - TSAThe function serves to stabilise the car and
trailer combination if it begins to snake, see
page 283.
NOTE
The function is deactivated if the driver
selects Sport mode.
Operation
Selection of level - Sport modeThe DSTC system is always activated - it can-
not be deactivated.
However, the driver can select the Sport mode,
which allows for a more active driving experi-
ence. In Sport mode the system detects
whether the accelerator pedal, steering wheel
movements and cornering are more active thanin normal driving and then allows controlled
skidding with the rear section up to a certain
level before it intervenes and stabilises the car.
If the driver stops a controlled skid by releasing
the accelerator pedal then the DSTC system
intervenes and stabilises the car.
With Sport mode, maximum traction is
obtained if the car has become stuck, or when
driving on a loose surface - e.g. sand or deep
snow.
Proceed as follows to select Sport mode:
1.
Press the centre console button MY CAR
and search in the display screen's menu
system and locate My S60
DSTC. (For
information on the menu system, see
page 142).
2. Uncheck the symbol and back out of the
menu system.
> The system then allows a more sporty
driving style.
The Sport mode is active until the driver dese-
lects it or until the engine is switched off - after
the engine is started the next time the DSTC
system is back in its normal mode again.
Messages in the information display
DSTC Temporarily OFF means that the sys-
tem has been temporarily reduced due to
excessive temperature in the brake discs.

Adaptive cruise control*
04

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.175
Automatic standby modeAdaptive cruise control is dependent on other
systems e.g. stability and traction control
(DSTC). If any of these systems stop working
then cruise control is automatically deacti-
vated.
In the event of automatic deactivation a signal
will sound and the message
Cruise control
Cancelled is shown in the display. The driver
must then intervene and adapt the speed and
distance to the vehicle ahead.
An automatic deactivation can be due to:
•engine speed is too low/high
•speed falls below 30 km/h5
•wheels lose traction
•brake temperature is high
•the radar sensor is covered e.g. by wet
snow or heavy rain (radar waves blocked).
Resume set speedCruise control in standby mode is re-activated
with one press on the steering wheel button
- the speed is then set to the last stored
speed.
NOTE
A significant increase in speed may arise
after the speed has been resumed with .
DeactivateThe cruise control is switched off with the
steering wheel button
. The set speed is
cleared and cannot be resumed with the
button.
Keypad without Speed limiterThe cruise control is switched off with the
steering wheel button
in standby mode or
with one long press in active mode. The set
speed is cleared and cannot be resumed with
the
button.
Queue Assist ACC and automatic
gearbox*
In cars with automatic gearbox the adaptive
cruise control has more functions than in cars
with manual gearbox.
Note that the lowest programmable speed for
the cruise control is 30 km/h - even though the
cruise control is capable of following another
vehicle down to a standstill, a lower speed
cannot be selected.The following functions are available:
Extended speed range
NOTE
In order to activate the cruise control the
driver's door must be closed and the driver
must be wearing the seatbelt.
•With the automatic gearbox the cruise con-
trol can follow another vehicle within the
range of 0-200 km/h - right down to sta-
tionary and up to 200 km/h.
NOTE
Activation of the cruise control below
30 km/h requires a vehicle in front within a
reasonable distance.
For shorter stops in connection with inching in
slow traffic or at traffic lights driving is auto-
matically resumed if the stops do not exceed
about 3 seconds - if it takes longer before the
car in front starts moving again then the cruise
control is set in standby mode. The driver must
then re-activate the cruise control in one of the
following ways:
•Press the steering wheel button .
5Does not apply to cars with automatic gearbox ("Queue Assist") - they manage right down to stationary.

Adaptive cruise control*
04

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.177 The radar sensor and its limitations
Apart from the adaptive cruise control, the
radar sensor is also used by the Collision
Warning with Auto Brake function (see
page 188) and the Distance Alert function (see
page 181). The function of the radar sensor is
to detect cars or larger vehicles in the same
direction, in the same lane.
Modification of the radar sensor could result in
it being illegal to use.
WARNING
The driver must always be observant with
regard to the traffic conditions and intervene
when the adaptive cruise control is not
maintaining a suitable speed or suitable dis-
tance.
The adaptive cruise control cannot handle
all traffic, weather and road conditions.
The Function section and onwards informs
about limitations of which the driver should
be aware before using the adaptive cruise
control.
The driver always bears responsibility for
maintaining the correct distance and speed,
even when the adaptive cruise control is
being used.
WARNING
Accessories or other objects such as auxil-
iary lamps must not be installed in front of
the grille.
WARNING
Adaptive cruise control is not a collision
avoidance system. The driver must inter-
vene if the system does not detect a vehicle
in front.
The adaptive cruise control does not brake
for humans or animals, and not for small
vehicles such as bicycles and motorcycles.
Nor for oncoming, slow or stationary vehi-
cles and objects.
Do not use the adaptive cruise control, for
example, in city traffic, in dense traffic, at
junctions, on slippery surfaces, with a lot of
water or slush on the road, in heavy rain/
snow, in poor visibility, on winding roads or
on slip roads.
The capacity of the radar sensor to detect vehi-
cles in front is reduced significantly:
•if the radar sensor becomes blocked and
cannot detect other vehicles e.g. in heavy
rain or slush, or if other objects have col-
lected in front of the radar sensor.
NOTE
Keep the surface in front of the radar sensor
clean.
•if the speed of vehicles in front is signifi-
cantly different from your own speed.
Examples where the cruise control does
not work optimally
The radar sensor has a limited field of vision. In
some situations another vehicle is not
detected, or the detection is made later than
expected.

Adaptive cruise control*
04
178* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
The ACC cannot see small vehicles (Dark triangle:
ACC field of vision).
Sometimes the radar sensor is late at
detecting vehicles at close distances, e.g.
a vehicle that drives in between the car and
vehicles in front.
Small vehicles, such as motorcycles, or
vehicles not driving in the centre of the lane
can remain undetected.
In bends the radar sensor may detect the
wrong vehicle or lose a detected vehicle
from view.
Fault tracing and action
If the display shows the message Radar
blocked See manual this means that the
radar signals from the radar sensor are blocked
and that vehicles in front of the car could not
be detected.
In turn this means that the Adaptive Cruise
Control, Distance Alert and Collision Warning
with Auto Brake functions are not operating
either.The following table presents possible causes
for a message being shown along with the
appropriate action.
CauseAction
The radar surface in the grille is dirty or covered with ice or snow.Clean the radar surface in the grille from dirt, ice and snow.
Heavy rain or snow blocking the radar signals.No action. Sometimes the radar does not work during heavy rain or
snowfall.

nals.No action. Sometimes the radar does not work on a very wet or snowy
road surface.
The radar surface has been cleaned but the message remains.Wait. It could take several minutes for the radar to sense that it is no
longer blocked.
