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 levels of odors and
contaminants entering the vehicle. 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 vehicle. The filter also cleans recirculated passenger
compartment air.
NOTE
Contact your Volvo retailer for IAQS air filter replacement intervals.
Menu settings
The default settings for three of the climate system's functions can be changed in the menu system, see page 123
:
Blower speed in automatic mode, see page 130.
Recirculation timer for passenger compartment air, see page 130.
Automatic rear window defrosting, see page 100.
The functions can also be returned to factory settings in the menu system.

Climate system
Air distribution
The incoming air is distributed from 20 different vents in the passenger compartment.
Air distribution is fully automatic in AUTO mode.
If desired, air distribution can be controlled manually, see page 133
.
Air vents in the dashboard

The function automatically regulates cooling, heating, blower speed, recirculation, and air distribution to maintain the
chosen temperature. If you select one or more manual functions, the other functions continue to be controlled
automatically. The air quality sensor is engaged and all manual settings are switched off when AUTO is pressed. The
display shows AUTO CLIMATE.
Blower speed in automatic mode can be set under Climate settings
Automatic blower adjust . Choose between Low,
Normal or High.
NOTE
Selecting the lowest blower speed may increases the risk of fog forming on the windows.
For a description of the menu system, see page 123
.
Temperature control
The temperatures on the driver and passenger sides can be set independently. When the vehicle is started, the most
recent setting is resumed.
NOTE
Heating or cooling cannot be speeded up by selecting a higher/lower temperature than the actual temperature
required.
A/C - ON/OFF
The air conditioning is controlled automatically by the system when the ON light is on. This cools/heats and
dehumidifies the incoming air. When the OFF light is on, the air conditioning is always disengaged. Other functions
are still controlled automatically. When defroster is selected, the air conditioning system is set for maximum blower
speed and dehumidification.

Climate system
Defroster
This function defrosts/deices the windshield and front side windows. The indicator light in the defroster button lights
when the function is active.
Blower speed increases automatically and the air conditioning will switch on (if not already on and if the passenger
compartment blower is not turned off) to dehumidify the air in the passenger compartment. Air conditioning can be
switched off by pressing the AC button.
Recirculation will not function while defrost is engaged.
The climate system will return to its previous settings when the defroster function is switched off.

Recirculation/air quality system
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. The indicator light in the button will illuminate when recirculation is selected.
If the air in the car recirculates for too long, there is a risk of condensation forming on the insides of the windows,
especially in winter.
Timer
The timer function minimizes the risk of fogging, or stale air when the recirculation function is selected by
automatically switching off the function after a certain length of time, depending on the ambient temperature.
Activate/deactivate the function under Climate control settings
Recirculation timer .
For a description of the menu system, see page 123
.
NOTE
When Defroster is selected, recirculation is always deactivated.
Interior Air Quality System -IAQS (option)
This system consists of a multifilter and an air quality sensor. The filter helps remove gases and particles from the
incoming air, thereby reducing the amounts of odors and contaminants entering the vehicle. 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
vehicle. The filter also cleans recirculated passenger compartment air. When the AUTO button is depressed the air
quality sensor is always engaged.
Activating the air quality sensor
Switch between the three functions by pressing the button repeatedly.
The left orange light comes on - the air quality sensor is disengaged.
The center green light comes on - recirculation not engaged, providing it is not required for cooling in hot weather.
The right orange light comes on - recirculation is engaged.

Climate system
NOTE
The air quality sensor should always be engaged in order to obtain the best air in the passenger compartment.
Recirculation is limited in cold weather to avoid fogging.
If the insides of the windows start fogging, disengage the air quality sensor. Use the defroster function to increase
airflow to the front, side, and rear windows.
