Acceleration
The air conditioning is momentarily disengaged during full-throttle acce\
leration.
Climate control 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 v\
ehicle 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 ma\
y come on automatically, and run for seven
minutes, to remove condensation in the A/C evaporator.
Blower function to reduce battery drain
The climate system's blower functions normally while the engine is runni\
ng.
However, when the engine is switched off (even if the ignition is switc\
hed to positions I or II), the blower control will be
automatically switched off to avoid unnecessary battery drain. The follo\
wing points pertain if the ignition key is on but the
engine is not running:
l To restart the blower, turn the control knob to the setting of your choi\
ce.
l After approximately 2 minutes, the blower speed will be reduced to avoid\
battery drain.
You can reset the blower speed at any time. Please be aware that the sys\
tem has been designed to reduce the blower's speed
again after 2 minutes, until the engine is started. If the battery becom\
es drained:
l LOW BATTERY, FAN IS REDUCED will be displayed in the text window in the \
instrument panel.
l The yellow warning light in the instrument panel (see page 25) will also light up.

WARNING!
If the doors are locked while driving, this may hinder rapid access to t\
he occupants of the vehicle in
the event of an accident. (Also see information on "Child safety locks"\
).
NOTE: To help prevent accidentally locking the keys in the vehicle, the centra\
l locking system is
designed to unlock the doors immediately if the key is left in the ignit\
ion switch, the vehicle is locked
using the lock button on the door and the door is then closed. A sound f\
rom the lock will be audible at
this time.
Please note that this function will not unlock the doors if the engine i\

Immobilizer (start inhibitor)
Each of the keys supplied with your vehicle contains a coded transmitter\
. The code in the key is
transmitted to an antenna in the ignition switch where it is compared to\
the code stored in the start
inhibitor module. The vehicle will start only with a properly coded key.\
If you misplace a key, take the other keys to an authorized Volvo retail\
er for reprogramming as an
antitheft measure.
NOTE: If two of the keys to your vehicle are close together, e.g., on the same\
key ring, when you try to
start the vehicle, this could cause interference in the immobilizer syst\
em and result in the vehicle not
starting. If this should occur, remove one of the keys from the key ring\
before trying to start the vehicle
again.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject\
to the following condition: (1)
This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device mu\
st accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
