Climate – general information
The vehicle is equipped with Electronic Climate
Control (ECC) (p. 132) that cools, heats or dehumidifies the air in the passenger compart-ment.
Air conditioning
NOTE
• The air conditioning can be switched off, but to ensure the best possible climatecomfort in the passenger compartmentand to prevent the windows from misting,it should always be on.
• In warm weather, a small amount of watermay accumulate under the car when ithas been parked. This water is condensa-tion from the A/C system and is normal.
Side windows and moonroofTo ensure that the air conditioning works opti- mally, the side windows, and the optional moon-roof should be closed.
Fog on the inside of the windowsThe defroster function (p. 135) should be usedto remove fog or mist from the inside of the win-dows. Keeping the windows clean with a com-mercially available window washing spray will alsohelp prevent fogging or misting.
Temporary shut-off of the air conditioning
The air conditioning (p. 135) is momentarily dis- engaged during full acceleration or when drivinguphill with a trailer. This may result in a temporaryincrease 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 climate sys-tem. Work of this type should only be done by atrained and qualified Volvo service technician.
RefrigerantVolvo cares about the environment. The air condi-tioning system in your car contains a CFC-freerefrigerant – R134a. This substance will notdeplete the ozone layer. The air conditioning sys-tem contains 1.76 lbs (800 g) of R134a. Thesystems uses PAG oil.

Climate – sensors
The climate system utilizes a number of sensors to help regulate the temperature and humiditylevel in the passenger compartment.
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. Thiscan mean that the temperature may differbetween the right and left-side air vents, evenif the temperatures set for both sides of thepassenger compartment are the same.
•
The temperature sensor for the passenger compartment is located below the climatecontrol panel.
• The outside (ambient) temperature sensor islocated on the door mirror.
• The humidity sensor
* is located in the interior

Air quality
The passenger compartment has been designed to be pleasant and comfortable, even for peoplewith asthma and contact allergies.
Passenger compartment filterReplace the cabin air filter with a new one at the recommended intervals. Please refer to your War-ranty and Service Records Information booklet, orconsult a trained and qualified Volvo service tech-nician for these intervals. The filter should bereplaced more often when driving under dirty anddusty conditions. The filter cannot be cleanedand therefore should always be replaced with anew 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 levels ofodors and contaminants entering the vehicle. Theair quality sensor detects increased levels of con-taminants in the outside air. When the air qualitysensor detects contaminated outside air, the airintake closes and the air inside the passengercompartment is recirculated, i.e., no outside airenters the vehicle. The filter also cleans recircula-ted passenger compartment air.
NOTE
Contact your Volvo retailer for IAQS air filter replacement intervals.
Materials used in the cabinThe materials used in the cabin have been devel- oped to help minimize the amount of dust andmake the cabin easier to keep clean. All floormats can be easily removed for cleaning. Use carcleaning products recommended by Volvo. Seealso the information in Cleaning the interior(p. 371).
