Introduction

Climate control maintenance
Special tools and equipment are required to maintain and carry out repairs on the climate system. Work of this type
should only be done by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
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 1.2 lbs (530 g) R134a (HFC 134a), and uses PAG
oil.
Passenger compartment filter
Replace the cabin air filter with a new one at the recommended intervals. Please refer to your Warranty and Service
Records Information 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.
Display
The display above the climate control panel shows the climate settings that have been made.
Personal settings
There are two functions in the climate system that can be set to your preferences:
Blower speed to Auto mode (models with ECC only).
Timer controlled recirculation of the air in the passenger compartment.
For information about how to make these settings, see the Personal settings section on page 71
.

NOTE
The sunlight sensor on the upper side of the dashboard and the passenger compartment temperature sensor, located
behind the climate system control panel, should not be obstructed.
The air conditioning system is temporarily switched off during full throttle acceleration.
ECC functions
1. Auto - On/Off
The AUTO function automatically regulates climate control to maintain the desired temperature. The automatic
function controls heating, air conditioning, blower speed, recirculation, and air distribution.
If you select one or more manual functions, the remaining functions continue to be controlled automatically. All
manual settings are
83 03 Climate
Electronic Climate Control (ECC)
switched off when AUTO is switched on. AUTO CLIMATE is shown in the display.
2. Blower speed
The blower speed can be increased or decreased by turning the knob. The blower speed is regulated automatically 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. Recirculation
This function can be used to shut out exhaust fumes, smoke, etc from the passenger 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.
If the air in the car recirculates for too long, there is a risk of condensation forming on the insides of the windows,
ProCarManuals.com

especially in winter.
Timer
The timer function minimizes the risk of fogging, or stale air when the recirculation function is selected. See page 72
for information on setting the recirculation timer.
NOTE
Recirculation is always disengaged if the defroster button is engaged to clear ice or condensation from the side
windows.
4. Defroster
Directs airflow to the windshield and side windows and increases blower speed.
When the defroster is activated:
Air flows to the windows at high blower speed.
The LED in the defroster button lights up when this function is activated. The air conditioning system is controlled
to provide maximum air dehumidification.
The air conditioning is automatically switched on (can be switched off by pressing button 5).
The air is not recirculated.
5. Airflow controls
Press one of the three buttons in the illustration to activate the selected airflow. A symbol in the display above the
climate control panel and a lit LED in the selected button indicate that the manual function has been selected. With
manually selected airflow both warm and cool air can be selected. See also the table on page 86
.
6. Air conditioning On/Off
ON: The air conditioning system is engaged when the ON light is lit and is controlled automatically by the system to
maintain the selected temperature.
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.
84 03 Climate
Electronic Climate Control (ECC)
Other functions are still controlled automatically.
When Defroster (4) is selected, the air conditioning system is activated for maximum dehumidifying.
