Rearview mirror with compass*
G029930
The upper right-hand corner of the rearview
mirror has an integrated display that shows the
compass direction toward which the car is
pointing. Eight different directions can be dis-
played:
N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W and NW. The
display shows your car's orientation with
respect to true north.
Calibrating the compass
G031045
The earth is divided into 15 magnetic zones.
The compass is initially set for the zone to
which the car was delivered, and should
always be adjusted if the car is driven to a new
magnetic zone. A "
C" will be displayed if cali-
bration becomes necessary.
To calibrate the compass:
1. Stop the car in a large, open area, away
from traffic.
2. Using a pen or similar object, hold the but-
ton (1) depressed for at least 6 seconds.
"
C" will be displayed.

Models equipped with Electronic
Climate Control (ECC)*
Sensors
•The sunlight sensor is on the upper side of
the dashboard.
•The passenger compartment temperature
sensor is located behind the climate sys-
tem control panel.
•The ambient temperature sensor is in the
driver's side door mirror.
•The humidity sensor is in the rearview mir-
ror.
These sensors should never be obstructed.
NOTE
The sunlight sensor monitors the side of the
vehicle from which the sun shines into the
passenger compartment. This means that
the temperature may differ slightly between
the left and right air vents, even if the climate
system temperature is set to be the same
for both sides of the passenger compart-
ment.
Side windows and optional moonroofThe electronic climate control system will func-
tion best if the windows and moonroof are
closed. If you drive with the windows or moon-
roof open, it may be preferable to manually
adjust the temperature and blower control (the
LED in the AUTO switch should be off).
AccelerationThe air conditioning system is temporarily
switched off during full throttle acceleration.

ECC functions
1. Auto – On/OffThe AUTO function automat-
ically regulates climate con-
trol to maintain the desired
temperature. The automatic
function controls heating, air
conditioning, blower speed,
recirculation, and air distribu-
tion.
If you select one or more manual functions, the
remaining functions continue to be controlled
automatically. All manual settings are switched
off when AUTO is switched on.
AUTO

2. Blower speedThe blower speed can be
increased or decreased by
turning the knob. The blower
speed is regulated automati-
cally if AUTO is selected. The
previously set blower speed is
disconnected.
NOTE
If the knob is turned counterclockwise and
the blower indication in the display goes
out, the blower and the air conditioning are
switched off. The display shows the blower
symbol and
OFF.
3. RecirculationThis function is used to recir-
culate the air in the passenger
compartment, which means
that when the function is
active, no outside air enters
the compartment. This is par-
ticularly useful in hot or cold
weather to cool or heat the passenger com-
partment faster, or to help shut out exhaust
fumes, etc.
Press the button repeatedly to close out out-
side air (recirculation) or to let outside air flow
into the passenger compartment.
•If the green indicator light to the left is on,
recirculation is on and no outside air flows
into the passenger compartment.
•If the green indicator light to the right is on,
outside air flows into the passenger com-
partment.
While the indicator light on the right side is on,
the ECC system automatically controls the flow
of air into the passenger compartment and the
air intake is opened or closed depending on the
outside temperature, the need to heat or cool
the compartment, etc.
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.
Recirculation timerThe timer function minimizes the risk of fogging
or stale air when the recirculation function is
selected, see page 84 for information on set-
ting the recirculation timer.
NOTE
If the defroster function is switched on (by
pressing button 4), recirculation is always
disengaged.
Interior Air Quality System (IAQS)*This system consists of a mul-
tifilter that helps reduce gases
and particles in the incoming
air and an air quality sensor
that detects increased levels
of contaminants in the outside
air. When the air quality sen-
sor detects contaminated outside air, the air
intake closes and the air inside the passenger
compartment is recirculated. The filter also
cleans recirculated passenger compartment
air.
When IAQS is engaged, the green indicator
light above A is illuminated.
To activate IAQS:
–
Press AUTO (1).
Or:
Toggle between the system's three modes by
pressing the button the recirculation button
repeatedly.
•The green indicator light above A is on:
IAQS is engaged. Outside air flows into the
passenger compartment and is filtered.
While this light is on, the ECC system auto-
matically controls the flow of air into the
passenger compartment and the air intake
is opened or closed depending on the out-
side temperature, the need to heat or cool

the compartment or if the IAQS sensor has
detected contaminants in the incoming air.
•The green indicator light above M is on:
recirculation is engaged and no outside air
flows into the passenger compartment.
•Both indicator lights are off. Recirculation
is switched off (unless ECC activates it to
help cool the passenger compartment
faster in hot weather). Outside air flows into
the passenger compartment and is filtered.
However, when both indicator lights are
off, the IAQS sensor is deactivated and will
not monitor the outside air for contami-
nants.
Keep the following in mind:
•As a rule, IAQS should always be engaged.
•In cold weather, the recirculation function
is limited to help avoid condensation on the
windows.
•If condensation forms, using the defroster
functions for the windshield/front side win-
dows and the rear window will help clear
the condensation.
4. DefrosterDirects airflow to the wind-
shield and side windows and
increases blower speed.
When the defroster is acti-
vated:
•Air flows to the windows at high blower
speed.
•The LED in the defroster button lights up
when this function is activated. The air con-
ditioning system is controlled to provide
maximum air dehumidification.
•The air conditioning is automatically
switched on (can be switched off by press-
ing button 6).
The air is not recirculated.
5. Airflow controlsPress one of the three buttons
in the illustration to activate
the selected airflow. A symbol
in the display above the cli-
mate control panel and a lit
LED in the selected button
indicate that the manual func-
tion has been selected. With manually selected
airflow both warm and cool air can be selected.
See also the table on page 100.
6. Air conditioning On/OffON: The air conditioning sys-
tem is engaged when the ON
light is lit and is controlled
automatically by the system
to maintain the selected tem-
perature.
OFF: The system is disengaged when the
OFF lights up
When OFF is selected and the OFF LED is lit,
the air conditioning system is deactivated.
Other functions are still controlled automati-
cally.
When Defroster (4) is selected, the air condi-
tioning system is activated for maximum dehu-
midifying.
7 and 8. Heated front seats*
Maximum heating:
–Press the button once – both LEDs light up.
Reduced heating:
–Press the button a second time – one LED
lights up.
Seat heating off:
–Press the button a third time – no LEDs are
lit.

147 Deposit control gasoline (detergent
additives)
Volvo recommends the use of detergent gas-
oline to control engine deposits. Detergent
gasoline is effective in keeping injectors and
intake valves clean. Consistent use of deposit
control gasolines will help ensure good driva-
bility and fuel economy. If you are not sure
whether the gasoline contains deposit control
additives, check with the service station oper-
ator.
NOTE
Volvo does not recommend the use of
store-bought fuel injector cleaning addi-
tives.
Unleaded fuel
Each Volvo has a three-way catalytic converter
and must use only unleaded gasoline. U.S. and
Canadian regulations require that pumps deliv-
ering unleaded gasoline be labelled "UNLEA-
DED". Only these pumps have nozzles which
fit your vehicle's filler inlet. It is unlawful to dis-
pense leaded fuel into a vehicle labelled
"unleaded gasoline only". Leaded gasoline
damages the three-way catalytic converter and
the heated oxygen sensor system. Repeated
use of leaded gasoline will lessen the effective-ness of the emission control system and could
result in loss of emission warranty coverage.
State and local vehicle inspection programs
will make detection of misfueling easier, pos-
sibly resulting in emission test failure for mis-
fueled vehicles.
NOTE
Some U.S. and Canadian gasolines contain
an octane enhancing additive called methyl-
cyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl
(MMT). If such fuels are used, your Emission
Control System performance may be affec-
ted, and the Check Engine Light (malfunc-
tion indicator lamp) located on your instru-
ment panel may light. If this occurs, please
return your vehicle to a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician for maintenance.
Gasoline containing alcohol and ethers
Some fuel suppliers sell gasoline containing
"oxygenates" which are usually alcohols or
ethers. In some areas, state or local laws
require that the service pump be marked indi-
cating use of alcohols or ethers. However,
there are areas in which the pumps are
unmarked. If you are not sure whether there is
alcohol or ethers in the gasoline you buy, check
with the service station operator. To meet sea-
sonal air quality standards, some areas require
the use of "oxygenated" fuel. Volvo allows theuse of the following "oxygenated" fuels; how-
ever, the octane ratings listed on this page
must still be met.
Alcohol – Ethanol: Fuels containing up to 10%
ethanol by volume may be used. Ethanol may
also be referred to as Ethyl alcohol, or "Gaso-
hol".
Ethers – MTBE: Fuels containing up to 15%
MTBE may be used.
MethanolDo not use gasolines containing methanol
(methyl alcohol, wood alcohol). This practice
can result in vehicle performance deterioration
and can damage critical parts in the fuel sys-
tem. Such damage may not be covered under
the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Fuel filler door
Press the button on the light switch panel (see
the illustration on page 66) with the ignition
switched off to unlock the fuel filler door.
Please note that the fuel filler door will remain
unlocked until the vehicle begins to move for-
ward. An audible click will be heard when the
fuel filler door relocks.
If you intend to leave your vehicle while it is
being refueled, this feature enables you to lock
the doors/liftgate while leaving the fuel filler
door unlocked.
