you have manually switched the air conditioning off. This will only function if the blower is not switched off.
Recirculation
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 mode activation: (cars with the Interior Air Quality system have no timer mode) Press and hold the
recirculation button for at least 3 seconds to activate a recirculation timer mode. The amber LED in the recirculation
button will flash 5 times to show that the timer mode is be activated. In timer mode, each time the recirculation button
is pressed, the climate control system will recirculate the air in the passenger compartment for 5-12 minutes, depending
on the outside air temperature, and then revert back to fresh air.
Timer mode deactivation: Press and hold the recirculation button for 3 seconds. The amber LED in the recirculation
button will illuminate steadily for 5 seconds to show a return to "normal" mode.
pg. 49 Climate control
Electronic climate control, ECC (2.4T and T5) (contd)
In normal mode, when the recirculation button is pressed, the climate control system will recirculate the air in the
passenger compartment until the recirculation button is pressed again.
Timer mode memory: If the car is turned off while timer mode is active, timer mode will still be active when the car
is restarted.
Interior air quality sensor (option on 2.4T and T5)
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 ECC system is in the AUTO mode, the green LED will be on
.
Operation
Press
to operate the air quality sensor (normal setting).
Or:
Select one of the following three functions by pressing
.1, 2 or 3 times.
1. The AUT LED lights. The air quality sensor is now activated.
ProCarManuals.com

2. No LED lights. Recirculation is not activated unless needed to cool the passenger compartment in a warm climate.
3. The MAN LED lights. Recirculation is now activated.
Keep in mind the following:
Make it a rule to have the air quality sensor activated at all times.
Recirculation is limited in cold climates to avoid fogging.
If window fogging occurs, you should deactivate the air quality sensor.
If fogging occurs, use the defroster functions for the windshield, side windows and rear window. See page 47.
The filter should be changed at the intervals recommended in the service schedule. However, if the car is used in a
severely contaminated environment, it may be necessary to change the filter more frequently.

Recirculation
Recirculation can be used to shut out stale air, exhaust, 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.
Recirculation (together with the air conditioning system) cools the passenger compartment more quickly in warm
weather.
If you allow the air in the car to recirculate, there is a risk of icing and fogging, especially in winter. The timer function
minimizes the risk of ice, misting and stale air.
Activate the timer function as follows:
Press for more than 3 seconds. The LED flashes for 5 seconds. The air recirculates in the car for 3-12 minutes
depending on the outside temperature.
The timer function is activated each time you press . To switch off the timer function:
Press again for more than 3 seconds. The LED lights for 5 seconds to confirm your selection.

WARNING!
Always place the gear selector in Park and apply the parking brake before leaving the vehicle. Never leave the car
unattended with the engine running.
Always open garage doors fully before starting the engine inside a garage to ensure adequate ventilation. The
exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, which is invisible and odorless but very poisonous
Do not race a cold engine immediately after starting. Oil flow may not reach some lubrication points fast enough to
prevent engine damage.
* If two of the keys to your car are close together, e.g., on the same key ring, when you try to start the car, this could
cause interference in the immobilizer system and result in the car not starting. If this should occur, remove one of the
keys from the key ring before trying to start the car again.

If the power brakes are not working, the brake pedal must be pressed approximately four times harder than usual to
make up for the lack of power assistance. This can happen for example when towing your vehicle or if the engine is
switched off when the vehicle is rolling. The brake pedal feels harder than usual.
Water on brake discs and brake pads affects braking
Driving in rain and slush or passing through an automatic car wash can cause water to collect on the brake discs and
pads. This will cause a delay in braking effect when the pedal is depressed. To avoid such a delay when the brakes are
needed, depress the pedal occasionally when driving through rain, slush etc. This will remove the water from the
brakes. Check that brake application feels normal. This should also be done after washing or starting in very damp or
cold weather.
Severe strain on the brake system
The brakes will be subject to severe strain when driving in mountains or hilly areas or towing. Vehicle speed is usually
slower, which means that the cooling of the brakes is less efficient than when driving on level roads. To reduce the
strain on the brakes, shift into a lower gear and let the engine help with the braking. Do not forget that, if you are
towing a trailer, the brakes will be subjected to a greater than normal load.
pg. 92 Starting and driving
Brake system (contd)
Anti-lock brakes (ABS)
If the warning lamp lights up there is a malfunction of the ABS system (the standard braking system will however
function) and the vehicle should be driven cautiously to a Volvo retailer for inspection. The Anti-lock Braking System
(ABS) helps to improve vehicle control (stopping and steering) during severe braking conditions by limiting brake
lockup. When the system "senses" impending lockup, braking pressure is automatically modulated in order to help
prevent lockup, which could lead to a skid.
The system performs a self -diagnostic test when the engine is started and when the vehicle first reaches a speed
of approximately 12 mph (20 km/h). The brake pedal will pulsate several times and a sound may be audible from the
ABS control module. This is normal.
To obtain optimal effect from the ABS system, constant pressure should be kept on the brake pedal, keep constant
pressure on the brake pedal. Do not pump the brake pedal.
The switching of the ABS modulator will be audible and the brake pedal will pulsate during braking. Please be aware
that ABS does not increase the absolute braking potential of the vehicle. While control will be enhanced, ABS will not
shorten stopping distances on slippery surfaces.
ABS with EBD (Electronic Brake Force Distribution)
EBD is an integrated part of the ABS system. EBD regulates the hydraulic pressure to the rear brakes to help provide
optimal braking capacity. The brake pedal will pulsate during braking, which is normal.
If the BRAKE and ABS warning lights come on at the same time, this could indicate a fault in the brake system.
Stop the car in a suitable place and switch off the engine.
Restart the engine.
If both warning lights go off, no further action is required.
If both lights are still on after the engine has been restarted, switch off the engine again and check the brake fluid
level (see page 122
for the location of the brake fluid reservoir).
If the brake fluid level is above the MIN mark, drive carefully to an authorized Volvo retailer and have the brake
