image is shown on the center console display.
• When backing up, two solid lines are pro-jected on the screen to show the paththat the vehicle's rear wheels will take.These lines are affected by movements ofthe steering wheel. The vehicle's approxi-mate outer dimension are shown by twodashed lines.
• The graphic lines will not be displayedwhen backing up with a trailer that is con-nected to the vehicle's electrical system.
• Objects on the ground that are closerthan 1 ft (30 centimeters) cannot bedetected by the camera.
• The camera is active for approx.5 seconds after the gear selector ismoved to
R or until the vehicle's speed
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
• The optional Park Assist sensors and theparking camera work together and infor-mation from the sensors is shown graphi-cally on the display.
• The graphic lines shown on the screenwhen the vehicle backs up can be disa-bled in the settings menu.
• Manual zoom can be selected in the
MY
CAR menu.
• The system can be switched off by press-ing
CAM . By default, the system is acti- vated when the gear selector is moved toR
. This setting can be changed in the MY
CAR menu.
• If there are two cameras installed on thevehicle*, to switch between cameras, turnTUNE
(at least one of the cameras has to
be active), press CAM repeatedly or use
the center console controls. If the frontcamera is on, it overrides the optionalpark assist system's visual indicator butthere will still be an audible signal.
Limitations
Even if a fairly small section of the screen image appears to be obstructed, this maymean that a relatively large area behind thevehicle is hidden and objects there may notbe detected until they are very near the vehi-cle.
NOTE
Bicycle carriers or other accessories mounted on the trunk may obstruct thecamera's field of view.
Keep in mind
• Keep the camera's lens free of dirt, ice and snow. Remove ice and snow care-fully to avoid scratching the lens.
• Clean the lens regularly with warm waterand a suitable car washing detergent.

function to deactivate CTA. BLIS, how- ever, is still activated.
When does CTA function
How CTA works
CTA supplements BLIS by warning the driver of crossing traffic behind your vehicle, forexample, when backing out of a parkingspace. It is primarily designed to detect another vehi- cle but in certain cases may also detectpedestrians or smaller objects such as bicy-cles. CTA is only activated when the vehicle is backing up and is activated automaticallywhen the gear selector is put in reverse.
• An audible signal indicates that CTA has detected something that is approachingfrom the side. The signal will come fromeither the left or right audio systemspeakers, depending on which the side of your vehicle the approaching vehicle/object has been detected.
• CTA also provides a warning by illuminat-ing the BLIS indicator lights.
• An icon will also illuminate in the Parkassist graphic on the center console dis-play.
LimitationsCTA has limitations in certain situations, for example, the CTA sensors cannot "see"through other parked vehicles or obstruc-tions. The following are several examples where CTA's "field of vision" may initially be limitedand approaching vehicles cannot be detecteduntil they are too close:

CTA's blind area
CTA's "field of vision"
In angled parking spaces, CTA may be "blind" on one side
However, as you back your vehicle out of a parking space, CTA's "field of vision"expands. Examples of other limitations include:
• Dirt, ice or snow obstructing the sensors may reduce the system's function ormake it impossible to detect other vehi-cles or objects.
• Do not attach tape, decals, etc., on thesurface of the sensors (see the illustrationin the following "Maintenance" section).
• BLIS and CTA are deactivated if a trailer'swiring is connected to the vehicle's elec-trical system.
Maintenance
Location of the BLIS/CTA sensors 2
The BLIS/CTA sensors are located on the inside of the rear fenders/bumper. The surfaces in front of the sensors must be kept clean for the system to function opti-mally.
CAUTION
Repairs to the BLIS/CTA systems should only be done by a trained and qualifiedVolvo service technician.

Introduction
Air conditioningThe vehicle is equipped with Electronic Cli- mate Control (ECC). The climate control sys-tem cools, heats or dehumidifies the air in thepassenger compartment.
NOTE
• The air conditioning can be switched off, but to ensure the best possible cli-mate comfort in the passenger com-partment and to prevent the windowsfrom misting, it should always be on.
• In warm weather, a small amount ofwater may accumulate under the carwhen it has been parked. This water iscondensation from the A/C systemand is normal.
Sensor location
•
The sunlight sensor is located on the top side of the dashboard.
NOTE
The sunlight sensor monitors which side of the car that is most exposed to sunlight.This can mean that the temperature maydiffer between the right and left-side airvents, even if the temperatures set for bothsides of the passenger compartment arethe same.
•The temperature sensor for the passen- ger compartment is located below the cli-mate control panel.
• The outside (ambient) temperature sensoris located on the door mirror.
• The humidity sensor* is located in theinterior rearview mirror.
NOTE
Do not cover or block the sensors with clothing or other objects.
Side windows and moonroofTo ensure that the air conditioning works optimally, the side windows, and the optionalmoonroof should be closed.
Fog on the inside of the windowsThe defroster function should be used toremove fog or mist from the inside of the win-dows. Keeping the windows clean with acommercially available window washing spray will also help prevent fogging or mist-ing.
Vents in the parcel shelf
NOTE
The air vents at the rear of the parcel shelf should never be obstructed.
Temporary shut-off of the air conditioning
The air conditioning is momentarily disen- gaged during full acceleration or when drivinguphill with a trailer. This may result in a tem-porary increase in cabin temperature.
Ice and snowAlways keep the air intake grille at the base ofthe windshield free of snow.
Climate system maintenanceSpecial tools and equipment are required tomaintain and carry out repairs on the climatesystem. Work of this type should only bedone by a trained and qualified Volvo servicetechnician.
RefrigerantVolvo cares about the environment. The airconditioning system in your car contains aCFC-free refrigerant – R134a. This substancewill not deplete the ozone layer. The air con-

ditioning system contains 1.76 lbs (800 g) of R134a. The systems uses PAG oil.
Passenger compartment filterReplace the cabin air filter with a new one atthe recommended intervals. Please refer toyour Warranty and Service Records Informa-tion booklet, or consult a trained and qualifiedVolvo service technician for these intervals.The filter should be replaced more often whendriving under dirty and dusty conditions. Thefilter cannot be cleaned and therefore shouldalways be replaced with a new one.
NOTE
There are different types of cabin air filters. Ensure that the correct type is installed.
Interior Air Quality System (IAQS)A multifilter helps reduce gases and particles in the incoming air, thereby reducing the lev-els of odors and contaminants entering thevehicle. The air quality sensor detectsincreased levels of contaminants in the out-side air. When the air quality sensor detectscontaminated outside air, the air intake closesand the air inside the passenger compart-ment is recirculated, i.e., no outside air entersthe vehicle. The filter also cleans recirculatedpassenger compartment air.
NOTE
Contact your Volvo retailer for IAQS air fil- ter replacement intervals.
Materials used in the cabinThe materials used in the cabin have been developed to help minimize the amount ofdust and make the cabin easier to keepclean. All floor mats can be easily removedfor cleaning. Use car cleaning products rec-ommended by Volvo. See also the informa-tion beginning on page 353.
Menu settingsThe default settings for four of the climatesystem's functions can be changed in themenu system.• Blower speed in automatic mode.
• Recirculation timer for passenger com- partment air.
• Automatic rear window defrosting.
• The optional Interior Air Quality System(IAQS).
The functions can also be returned to factory settings in the menu system. See page 197 for a description of the menu system.
Air distribution
The incoming air is distributed from a number of different vents in the passenger compart-ment. Air distribution is fully automatic in AUTO
mode.If desired, air distribution can be controlled manually, see page 211.

NOTE
• Triangular areas at the far sides of the windshield are not heated electricallyand will take slightly longer todefrost/de-ice.
• The heated windshield may affect theperformance/range of e.g., transpond-ers used to automatically pay highwaytolls or other communication equip-ment.
The following occurs when the defroster/ windshield heating functions have been acti-vated: •
Blower speed increases automatically and the air conditioning will switch on (ifnot already on and if the passenger com-partment blower is not turned off) todehumidify the air in the passenger com-partment. Air conditioning can beswitched off by pressing the
AC button.
• Recirculation will not function whiledefrost is engaged.
The climate system will return to its previous settings when the defroster/windshield heat-ing function is switched off. See also page 109 for additional information.
Recirculation/air quality system
RecirculationThis function can be used to shut out exhaust fumes,smoke, etc., from the pas-senger compartment. The airin the passenger compart-ment is then recirculated,i.e., no air from outside the
car is taken into the car when this function isactivated. The indicator light in the button willilluminate when recirculation is selected. If the air in the car recirculates for too long, there is a risk of condensation forming on theinsides of the windows, especially in winter.
TimerThe timer function minimizes the risk of fog- ging, or stale air when the recirculation func-tion is selected by automatically switching offthe function after a certain length of time,depending on the ambient temperature. Acti-vate/deactivate the function under

settings
Recirculation timer. See page
197 for a description of the menu system.
NOTE
When Defroster is selected, recirculation is always deactivated.
Interior Air Quality System–IAQS*This system consists of a multifilter and an air quality sensor. The filter helps remove gasesand particles from the incoming air, therebyreducing the amounts of odors and contami-nants entering the vehicle. The air quality sen-sor detects increased levels of contaminantsin the outside air. When the air quality sensordetects contaminated outside air, the airintake closes and the air inside the passengercompartment is recirculated, i.e., no outsideair enters the vehicle. The filter also cleansrecirculated passenger compartment air.When the AUTO button is depressed the air
quality sensor is always engaged. Activate or deactivate this function in

NOTE
• The air quality sensor should always be engaged in order to obtain the bestair in the passenger compartment.
• Recirculation is limited in cold weatherto avoid fogging.
• If the insides of the windows start fog-ging, disengage the air quality sensor.Use the defroster function to increaseairflow to the front, side, and rear win-dows.

Fuel requirements
Deposit control gasoline (detergentadditives)
Volvo recommends the use of detergent gas- oline to control engine deposits. Detergentgasoline is effective in keeping injectors andintake valves clean. Consistent use of depositcontrol gasolines will help ensure good driva-bility and fuel economy. If you are not surewhether the gasoline contains deposit controladditives, check with the service station oper-ator.
NOTE
Volvo does not recommend the use of external fuel injector cleaning systems.
Unleaded fuelEach Volvo has a three-way catalytic con- verter and must use only unleaded gasoline.U.S. and Canadian regulations require thatpumps delivering unleaded gasoline belabeled "UNLEADED". Only these pumpshave nozzles which fit your vehicle's fillerinlet. It is unlawful to dispense leaded fuelinto a vehicle labelled "unleaded gasolineonly". Leaded gasoline damages the three-way catalytic converter and the heated oxy-gen sensor system. Repeated use of leaded gasoline will lessen the effectiveness of theemission control system and could result inloss of emission warranty coverage. Stateand local vehicle inspection programs willmake detection of misfueling easier, possiblyresulting in emission test failure for misfueledvehicles.
NOTE
Some U.S. and Canadian gasolines con- tain an octane enhancing additive calledmethyl-cyclopentadienyl manganese tri-carbonyl (MMT). If such fuels are used,your Emission Control System perform-ance may be affected, and the CheckEngine Light (malfunction indicator light)located on your instrument panel maylight. If this occurs, please return yourvehicle to a trained and qualified Volvoservice technician for service.
Gasoline containing alcohol and ethers, "Oxygenated fuels"
Some fuel suppliers sell gasoline containing "oxygenates" which are usually alcohols orethers. In some areas, state or local lawsrequire that the service pump be marked indi- cating use of alcohols or ethers. However,there are areas in which the pumps areunmarked. If you are not sure whether there isalcohol or ethers in the gasoline you buy,check with the service station operator. Tomeet seasonal air quality standards, someareas require the use of "oxygenated" fuel. Volvo allows the use of the following "oxy- genated" fuels; however, the octane ratingslisted on page 275 must still be met.
Alcohol – EthanolFuels containing up to 10% ethanol by vol- ume may be used. Ethanol may also be refer-red to as Ethyl alcohol, or "Gasohol". Ethers – MTBE: Fuels containing up to 15% MTBE may be used.
MethanolDo not use gasolines containing methanol(methyl alcohol, wood alcohol). This practicecan result in vehicle performance deteriora-tion and can damage critical parts in the fuelsystem. Such damage may not be coveredunder the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

Heated oxygen sensorsThe heated oxygen sensors monitor the oxy- gen content of the exhaust gases. Readingsare fed into a control module that continu-ously monitors engine functions and controlsfuel injection. The ratio of fuel to air into theengine is continuously adjusted for efficientcombustion to help reduce harmful emis-sions.

speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) to distribute the sealing compound in the tire.
CAUTION
If your vehicle is equipped with the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), theuse of the sealing compound may lead toincorrect tire pressure readings or in rarecases, damage to the tire pressure sensor.Use the tire sealing system to check andadjust the damaged tire's inflation pres-sure.
NOTE
• Safely stow the tire sealing system in a convenient place as it will soon beused again to check the tire’s inflationpressure.
• The empty bottle of sealing compoundcannot be removed from the bottleholder. Consult a trained and qualifiedVolvo service technician to have thebottle removed and properly disposedof.
WARNING
If heavy vibrations, unsteady steering behavior, or noises should occur whiledriving, reduce speed and park the vehiclein a safe place. Recheck the tire forbumps, cracks, or other visible damage,and recheck its inflation pressure. If thepressure is below 19 psi (1.3 bar), do notcontinue driving. Have the vehicle towedto a trained and qualified Volvo servicetechnician.
Stage 2: Checking inflation pressure1. Connect the tire sealing system as
described in stage 1.
2. Refer to the inflation pressure table in this chapter for the correct inflation pressure. If the tire needs to be inflated, start thetire sealing system’s compressor. If nec-essary, release air from the tire by turningthe air release knob counterclockwise.
CAUTION
The compressor should not be used for more than 10 minutes at a time to avoidoverheating.
WARNING
If you interrupt your trip for more than 1 hour, check the inflation pressure in thedamaged tire again before continuing.
Replacing the sealing compound container
The sealing compound container must be replaced if:
• the tire sealing system has been used to repair a tire
• the container’s expiration date haspassed (see the date on decal).
NOTE
• After use, the sealing compound bot- tle, the hose, and certain other systemcomponents must be replaced. Pleaseconsult your Volvo retailer for replace-ment parts.
• If the sealing compound bottle’s expi-ration date has passed, please take itto a Volvo retailer or a recycling stationthat can properly dispose of harmfulsubstances.
