parking sensors VOLVO S80 2002 Owners Manual

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 sun roof (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 sun roof and use the recirculation function for several minutes to enable the air conditioning to
cool the compartment as quickly as possible.
Windows and optional sun roof
The ECC system will function best if the windows and optional sun roof are closed. If you drive with the sun roof
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.
ECC maintenance
All maintenance on the climate control systems should be carried out by an authorized Volvo service technician only.
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 2.2 lbs (1000 g) R134a and uses PAG oil.
Passenger compartment blower
Approximately 50 minutes after the ignition is turned off, the blower may come on automatically, and run for five
minutes, to remove condensation in the A/C evaporator.BR>

Interior Air Quality system (option)
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 Air quality sensor is activated, the LED AUT comes on in the
recirculation button
Operations:
Press
to activate the Air quality sensor (normal setting). Or select one of three functions by pressing
1. Press
the LED AUT comes on. The Air quality sensor is now activated.
2. Press
no LED is lighted. Recirculation not activated.
3. Press the LED MAN comes on. Recirculation is now activated. You can switch between these three functions
