remote control key the door mirrors are auto-
matically retracted/extended.
The function can be activated/deactivated in
the menu system MY CAR under Settings
Car settingsSide mirror settingsFold
mirrors. For a description of the menu system,
see page 142.
Resetting to neutralMirrors that have been moved out of position
by an external force must be reset electrically
to the neutral position for electric retracting/
extending to work correctly:
1.
Retract the mirrors with the L and R but-
tons.
2.
Fold them out again with the L and R but-
tons.
3. Repeat the above procedure as necessary.
The mirrors are now reset in neutral position.
Home safe and approach lightingThe light on the door mirrors illuminates when
approach lighting or home safe lighting is
selected, see page 94.
Rear window and door mirror
defrosters
Use the defroster to quickly remove misting
and ice from the rear window and the door mir-
rors.
One press of the button starts the heating. The
light in the button indicates that the function is
active. Disconnect the heating as soon as the
ice/misting is cleared in order not to load the
battery unnecessarily. However, the heating is
switched off automatically after a certain time.
The rear window is demisted/defrosted auto-
matically if the car is started in an outside tem-
perature lower than +9 °C. Automatic defrost-
ing can be selected in the menu system MY

Compass*
03
106* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Operation
Rearview mirror with compass.
The upper right-hand corner of the rearview
mirror has an integrated display that shows the
compass direction in which the front of the car
is pointing. Eight different directions are shown
with English abbreviations:
N (north), NE (north
east), E (east), SE (south east), S (south), SW(south west), W (west) and NW (north west).
The compass is activated automatically when
the car is started or in ignition position II, see
page 81. To deactivate/activate the compass -
press in the button on the underside of the mir-
ror using a paper clip for example.
CalibrationThe earth is divided into 15 magnetic zones.
The compass is set for the geographic area to
which the car was delivered. The compassshould be calibrated if the car is moved across
several magnetic zones.
1. Stop the car in a large open area free from
steel structures and high-voltage power
lines.
2. Start the car.
NOTE
For optimum calibration - switch off all elec-
trical equipment (climate control system,
wipers etc.) and make sure that all doors are
closed.
3. Hold the button on the underside of the
rearview mirror depressed
approx. 6 seconds (using a paper clip for
example) until the character
C is shown.
G030295
Magnetic zones.
4. Hold the button on the underside of the
rearview mirror depressed
approx. 3 seconds. The number of the cur-
rent magnetic zone is shown.
5. Press the button repeatedly until the
required magnetic zone (
1–15) is shown.
See the map of magnetic zones for the
compass.
6. Wait until the display resumes showing the
character
C.
7. Drive slowly in a circle at a speed of no
more than 10 km/h until a compass direc-
tion is shown in the display, indicating that
calibration is complete. Then drive a further
2 circles to fine-tune calibration.
8. Repeat the above procedure as necessary.

Eco DRIVe or Eco Start/Stop DRIVe*
03
124* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Eco Start/Stop DRIVe
General information on Start/Stop
The engine is switched off - it becomes quieter and
cleaner....
Certain engines can be fitted with a
Eco Start/Stop DRIVe function which is acti-
vated during e.g. stationary traffic or waiting at
traffic lights.
The engine's automatic restart sequence runs
so smoothly that it is hardly noticeable that the
engine has actually been switched off. The
experience is that the engine has been running
the whole time but with an extremely quiet and
low idling speed.
The Eco Start/Stop DRIVe function gives the
driver the opportunity for a more active envi-
ronmentally conscious way of driving the car
by means of being able to disengage gear andletting the engine auto-stop, whenever appro-
priate.
Function and operation
Eco Start/Stop DRIVe On/Off.
Illuminates briefly on activation and for text
messages.
The engine is auto-stopped.
The Eco Start/Stop DRIVe function is
activated automatically when the
engine is started with the key. The driver is
made aware of the function by the instrument
panel symbol (2) illuminating briefly and the
green lamp (1) for the On/Off button illuminat-
ing.
NOTE
After starting with the key and each auto-
stop the car must first reach 5 km/h before
the automatic Start/Stop function is re-acti-
vated - following which certain conditions
must also be fulfilled, refer to these under
the heading "The engine does not auto-
stop".
All of the car's normal systems such as lighting,
radio, etc. work as normal even with an auto-
stopped engine, except that some equipment
may have its function temporarily reduced, e.g.
the climate control system's fan speed or
extremely high volume on the audio system.
Auto-stopping the engineIn order that the engine will auto-stop the car
must be stationary:
•Set the gear lever in neutral position and
release the clutch pedal - the engine is
switched off.
As verification and reminder
that the engine is auto-stop-
ped this symbol in the display
(3) illuminates.
Auto-starting the engineWith the gear lever in neutral position:

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
