system memory) by pressing RESET (button C).
Trip computer functions
Driving distance on current fuel reserve This function shows the approximate distance that can be driven on the fuel
remaining in the tank. This calculation is based on average fuel consumption during the last 12 miles (20 km) of
driving and the amount of fuel remaining in the tank when the reading was taken. When the driving distance on current
fuel reserve is less than 12 miles (20 km), "----" will be displayed in the text window.
Average fuel consumption This value indicates fuel consumption since the last time the trip computer was reset (by
pressing RESET, button C). When the engine is switched off, information on fuel consumption is stored and remains in
system memory until the RESET (button C) is pressed again.
Current fuel consumption This value indicates the current fuel consumption, based on readings taken once per
second. When the car is not moving, "----" will be displayed.
Average speed This value indicates average speed since the last time the trip computer was reset (by pressing RESET,
button C). When the engine is switched off, information on average speed is stored and remains in system memory
until the RESET (button C) is pressed again.

Always keep the air intake grille at the base of the windshield free of snow.
Cabin air filter
Replace the cabin air filter with a new one at the recommended 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.
Sensors
The sunlight sensor on the dashboard and passenger compartment temperature sensor in the ECC control panel should
not be covered in any way as this could cause incorrect information to be sent to the ECC system.
Parking the car in warm weather
If your car has been parked in the sun in warm weather, opening the windows and sun roof (option) for several
minutes before driving will help release the warm air from the passenger compartment. When the engine is running,
close the windows and sun roof and use the recirculation function for several minutes to enable the air conditioning to
cool the compartment as quickly as possible.
Windows and optional sun roof
The ECC system will function best if the windows and optional sun roof are closed. If you drive with the sun roof
open, we recommend that you manually adjust the temperature and blower control (the LED in the AUTO switch
should be off).
Acceleration
The air conditioning is momentarily disengaged during full-throttle acceleration.
ECC maintenance
All maintenance on the climate control systems should be carried out by an authorized Volvo service technician only.
Refrigerant
Volvo cares about the environment. The air conditioning system in your car contains a CFC-free refrigerant - R134a.
This substance will not deplete the ozone layer. The system contains 2.2 lbs (1000 g) R134a and uses PAG oil.
Passenger compartment blower
Approximately 50 minutes after the ignition is turned off, the blower may come on automatically, and run for five
minutes, to remove condensation in the A/C evaporator.

pg. 45 Electronic Climate Control (ECC)
AUTO
This function automatically regulates the Electronic Climate Control system so that the selected temperatures are
maintained. The blower, heating, air distribution (air flow) and air conditioning are controlled. If you prefer to
manually set any of these functions, the remaining functions will still be controlled automatically. Pressing the AUTO
button overrides any settings that were previously made manually.
Temperature
These controls are used to individually set the temperature for both sides of the passenger compartment. Please note
that the compartment will not be heated or cooled faster by setting the temperature higher or lower than necessary. Set
the control to the temperature you prefer.
Defroster
This function demists/de-ices the windshield and front side windows. The LED in the switch will light up to indicate
that the defrost function is engaged. Blower speed increases automatically and the air in the passenger compartment is
dehumidified. Recirculation will not function while defrost is engaged.

Heated rear window/sideview mirrors
This function demists/de-ices the rear window and sideview mirrors. The LED in the switch will light up to indicate
that the heating function is engaged. See page 36
for additional information on this function.
CAUTION:
Never use ice scrapers made of metal as they can easily scratch the mirror surface.
pg. 46 Electronic Climate Control (ECC) - manual settings
Recirculation (see also page 47)
Press this switch to engage the recirculation function (air in the passenger compartment recirculates - no fresh air
enters the compartment). The LED in the switch will light up to indicate that the function is engaged.
Use this function if the outside air is contaminated with exhaust gases, smoke, etc or to heat/cool the car quickly.
Recirculation should not be used for more than 15 minutes. If your windows begin to fog or mist, make sure that the
recirculation function is switched off.
Selecting Defroster automatically switches recirculation off.
Timer function: (Cars with Interior Air Quality system have no timer function) Pressing and holding the switch for at
least 3 seconds activates a timer function. The LED in the switch will flash for approximately 5 seconds. Recirculation
will then always operate for periods of 5 to 12 minutes, depending on the ambient temperature, after which it will
switch off automatically. Pressing the switch at any time during the recirculation period will disengage the function
and allow fresh air into the passenger compartment. Press and hold the switch again for at least 3 seconds to return the
button to its original function (i.e., recirculation will remain on until you switch it off).
Blower control
Turn the control clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease the blower speed. Pressing the AUTO switch
will automatically regulate blower speed and override manual adjustment.
NOTE: Turning the blower control counterclockwise as far as possible (an orange LED next to the control will light
up) will turn both the blower and the air conditioning off.

Press AUTO to automatically regulate air flow or press any combination of the controls shown in the illustration to
manually adjust air flow. An LED in the switch will light up if an air flow control has been pressed.
Air conditioning ON/OFF
Press the switch to turn the air conditioning on or off. The "ON" or "OFF" LED will light up to indicate if the system
is switched on or off. Other functions will still be regulated automatically (if the AUTO switch is on).
The air conditioning functions only at temperatures above 32¡ F (0¡ C).
While the Defroster function is selected, the air conditioning is temporarily activated to dehumidify the air, even if
you have manually switched the air conditioning off. This will only function if the blower is not switched off.
Heated front seats (option)
Please see page 36 for more information on this function.
pg. 47 Electronic Climate Control (ECC) with Interior Air Quality system (option)
Interior Air Quality system (option)
Some cars are equipped with a Multifilter and Air quality sensor. The filter separates gases and particles, thereby
reducing the amounts of odors and contaminants entering the car. 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 recirculated, i.e. no outside air enters the car. The filter also cleans
recirculated passenger compartment air. When the Air quality sensor is activated, the LED AUT comes on in
