Engine Remote Start (ERS)*
IntroductionERS is a feature that makes it possible to
remotely start the engine to cool or heat the
passenger compartment before driving.
The climate control system will start using the
same settings as when the engine was
switched off.
When the engine is started using ERS, it will run
for a maximum of 15 minutes before automat-
ically switching off again. After 2 ERS starts,
the engine must be started in the normal way
before ERS can be used again.
NOTE
Always adhere to applicable State, Province
and or Local laws regarding engine idling
when using ERS.
WARNING
Keep the following in mind before using ERS
•The vehicle should be in view.
•The vehicle should be unoccupied.
•The vehicle must not be parked indoors
or in an enclosed area. Exhaust fumes
are harmful to the health.

unobstructed. The vehicle must also be
locked.
To start the engine:
1. Press button 1 briefly.
2. Immediately press button 2 for approxi-
mately 2 seconds.If the requirements for ERS have been met, the
following will occur:
1. The turn signals will flash several times.
2. The engine will start.
3. The turn signals will illuminate for
3 seconds to indicate that the engine has
started.
After the engine has started, the vehicle
remains locked but the alarm is disarmed.

The indicator light for approach light-
ing will flash several times and then
glow continuously if all of the require-
ments for ERS have been met. How-
ever, this does not indicate that ERS has
started the engine.
To check if ERS has started the engine, press
the information button (3). If the engine has
started, the indicator light for button 2 will illu-
minate.

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.197 Introduction
Air conditioningThe vehicle is equipped with Electronic Climate
Control (ECC). The climate control system
cools, heats or dehumidifies the air in the pas-
senger 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 windows
from misting, it should always be on.
•In warm weather, a small amount of
water may accumulate under the car
when it has been parked. This water is
condensation from the A/C system and
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 may
differ between the right and left-side air
vents, even if the temperatures set for both
sides of the passenger compartment are the
same.
•The temperature sensor for the passenger
compartment is located below the climate
control panel.
•The outside (ambient) temperature sensor
is located on the door mirror.
•The humidity sensor* is located in the inte-
rior rearview mirror.
NOTE
Do not cover or block the sensors with
clothing or other objects.
Side windows and laminated panoramic
roof
To ensure that the air conditioning works opti-
mally, the side windows, and the laminated
panoramic roof should be closed.
Fog on the inside of the windowsThe defroster function should be used to
remove fog or mist from the inside of the win-
dows. Keeping the windows clean with a com-mercially available window washing spray will
also help prevent fogging or misting.
Temporary shut-off of the air
conditioning
The air conditioning is momentarily disen-
gaged during full-throttle acceleration or when
driving uphill with a trailer. This may result in a
temporary increase in cabin temperature.
Ice and snowAlways keep the air intake grille at the base of
the windshield free of snow.
Climate system maintenanceSpecial 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 tech-
nician.
RefrigerantVolvo 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 air condi-
tioning system contains 1.8 lbs (820 g) of
R134a. The systems uses PAG oil.
Passenger compartment filterReplace the cabin air filter with a new one at
the recommended intervals. Please refer to

05 Comfort and driving pleasure
Climate system
05
198
your Warranty and Service Records Informa-
tion booklet, or consult a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician 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.
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
of odors and contaminants entering the vehi-
cle. 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 recircu-
lated, i.e. no outside air enters the vehicle. The
filter also cleans recirculated passenger com-
partment air.
NOTE
Contact your Volvo retailer for IAQS air filter
replacement intervals.
Materials used in the cabinThe materials used in the cabin have been
developed to help minimize the amount of dust
and make the cabin easier to keep clean. All
floor mats can be easily removed for cleaning.
Use car cleaning products recommended by
Volvo. See also the information beginning on
page 352.
Menu settingsThe default settings for four of the climate sys-
tem's functions can be changed in the menu
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 191 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 204.

ter console display
Press the button once for the
highest heat level – three indi-
cator lights come on.
Press the button twice for a
lower heat level – two indica-

Blower controlTurn the control clockwise to
increase or counterclockwise
to decrease the blower
speed. If AUTO is selected,
blower speed will be regula-
ted automatically and this will
override manual adjustment.
NOTE
If the blower is turned off completely, the air
conditioning is disengaged, which may
result in fogging on the windows.

play
AutoThe function automatically
regulates cooling, heating,
blower speed, recirculation,
and air distribution to main-
tain the chosen temperature.
If you select one or more man-
ual functions, the other func-
tions continue to be controlled automatically.
The air quality sensor is engaged and all man-
ual 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
adjustment. Choose between
Low, Normalor High.
NOTE
Selecting the lowest blower speed may
increases the risk of fog forming on the win-
dows.
Temperature controlThe temperatures on the
driver and passenger sides
can be set separately. 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/OFFWhen the indicator light in the
button is on, the air condition-
ing is controlled automati-
cally. This cools/heats and
dehumidifies the incoming air.
When the indicator light in the
button is off, the air condition-
ing is disengaged. Other functions are still con-
trolled automatically. When maximum
defroster is selected, the air conditioning sys-
tem is set for maximum blower speed and
dehumidification.
DefrosterThis function defrosts/de-ices
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 compart-
ment blower is not turned off) to dehumid-
ify 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.
