1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Current speed in miles per hour (Canadian models only)
This function provides the driver with an instantaneous conversion of the car's current speed from km/h to mph.
NOTE: Trip computer readings may vary slightly depending on the circumferences of the tires on the car.
*Five functions on Canadian models

Climate control systems - general information
Condensation on the inside of the windows
Keeping the insides of the windows clean will help reduce the amount of condensation that forms on the windows. Use
a commercial window cleaning agent to clean the windows.
Ice and snow
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. Please refer to your Warranty and Service
Records Information booklet, or consult your Volvo retailer 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.
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 moonroof (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 moonroof and use the recirculation function for several minutes to enable the air conditioning
to cool the compartment as quickly as possible.
Windows and optional moonroof
The ECC system will function best if the windows and optional moonroof are closed. If you drive with the moonroof
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.
Climate control maintenance
ProCarManuals.com

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(HFC134a). This substance will not deplete the ozone layer. The system contains 2.2 lbs (1000 g) R134a and
uses PAG oil.
Climate system blower
The climate system blower will be automatically switched off when the engine is not running (even if the ignition key
is in position I or II) to avoid unnecessary battery drain. To activate the blower, turn the control to the desired setting.
Passenger compartment blower
Approximately 50 minutes after the ignition is turned off, the blower may come on automatically, and run for seven
minutes, to remove condensation in the A/C evaporator.
pg. 51 Climate control
Air distribution
Air distribution
The incoming air is distributed through 14 ventilation points in the passenger compartment.
Air vents in the dash
A Open
B Closed
C Horizontal air flow
D Vertical air flow
Direct the outer air vents toward the side windows to defrost.
In cold weather, close the air vents in the center of the dash to direct as much air as possible toward the windows.

Folding the backrests in the front seat
The front passenger seat backrest can be folded to a horizontal position to make room for a long load. Fold the

Please refer to the following page for information on programming the memory function in the driver's seat.
Remote keyless entry system and the driver's seat
The remote control transmitter also controls the position of the electrically operated driver's seat in the following way:
1. Adjust the seat to your preferences.
2. When you leave your vehicle, lock it using the remote control.
The position of the seat is now stored in the remote control.
Automatic seat adjustment
To move the seat to the position in which you left it:
1. Unlock the driver's door with the same remote control (the one used to lock the doors)
2. Open the driver's door within 2 minutes. The driver's seat will automatically move to the position in which you left
it.
NOTE:
The seat will move to this position even if someone else has moved it to a different seating position and locked the
car with a different remote control.
This feature will work in the same way with all of the remote control transmitters (up to 3) that you use with your
vehicle.
NOTE: This feature will not function if your lock your vehicle with the key.

WARNING!
If the doors are locked while driving, this may hinder rapid access to the occupants of the car in the event of an
accident. (Also see information on "Child safety locks")

doors immediately if the key is left in the ignition switch, the car is locked using the lock button on the door and the
door is then closed. A sound from the lock will be audible at this time.
Please note that this function will not unlock the doors if the engine is running.
Immobilizer (start inhibitor)
Each of the keys supplied with your car contains a coded transmitter. The code in the key is transmitted to an antenna
in the ignition switch where it is compared to the code stored in the start inhibitor module. The car will start only with
a properly coded key.
Each key has a unique code, which your Volvo retailer uses if new keys are required. A maximum of six remote
controls/keys can be programmed and used for one car.
If you misplace a key, take the other keys to an authorized Volvo retailer for reprogramming as an antitheft measure.
NOTE: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following condition: (1) This
device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
pg. 73 Locks and alarm
Remote controls
Your car is equipped with two coded remote control transmitters with integrated ignition keys called Key Integrated
Remote (KIR). These transmitters use a radio frequency that will enable you to lock/unlock all doors and the trunk
from a distance of 10-15 feet (3-5 meters). The transmitters will also activate or allow "keyless" entry into the
passenger compartment or the trunk. They will also activate or deactivate your car's alarm system(s). The car can also
be locked/unlocked with the key.
If one of the transmitters is misplaced, contact your nearest authorized Volvo retailer for replacement.
